        G     C        C7                   Dm    F
    Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
                   C      Am                Dm   G
    from glen to glen and down the mountain side.
                  C       C7            Dm      F
    The summer's gone and all the roses falling,
                    C       G              C
    it's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

     F    G  C          F       G       C
But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow,
     F   G  Am         F         Em          G   G7
or when the valley' s hushed and white with snow.
              C      C7      F               C    F
It's I'll be here        in sunshine or in shadow,
  Dm     C           Dm     G        C Am F
o Danny boy, o Danny boy I love you so.

         G      C      C7                   Dm     F
    But when ye come and all the flowers are dying,
             C       Am             Dm  G
    if I am dead, as dead I well may be,
                      C       C7             Dm     F
    You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
                   C      G              C
    and kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
