[Play the first verse slowly]
[Verse 1]
G D
Now the ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic
D G
Me friends are standing on the quay in grief and sorrow frantic
G D
I'm just about to sail away on the good ship Dan O'Leary (next line is faster)
D G
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary.
[Chorus]
G D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
D G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
G D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say
D G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
[Verse 2]
G D
In my old kitbag here I have cabbage, spuds and bacon
D G
Isn't that the finest fare and is your belly aching?
G D
If the ship its starts to pitch and toss, I'll leave very quickly
D G
I'll pack me bundle on me back and I'll walk to New York City.
[Chorus]
G D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
D G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
G D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say
D G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
[Verse 3]
G D
Those Yankee girls will sure love me, of course I'm speculatin'
D G
I'll oil them well with liquor boys, and they'll love the way I'm treatin'
G D
I'm as deep in love with Molly Burke as an ass is fond of clover
D G
When I get there I'll send for her, that's if she will come over.
[Chorus]
G D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
D G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
G D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say
D G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
