Ring a ring [E] a [B] rosie as the [G#m] light declines, [B] I remember Dublin [E] city [B] in [F#] the rare.
[B] And this is a little special verse in memory of some of the great Dublin people like Brendan Bean, Jimmy O'Dea, James Joyce,
all the people who made Dublin famous around the place.
Fare thee well, my [E] Anne the [B] Liffey, sure I can no [G#m] longer stay.
[B] And watch the new [E] glass [B] cages that [F#] spring up all along your gate.
[B] Be mine's too full of memories, too old to learn [G#] new chimes.
[G#m] [B] I'm a part of what [E] was Dublin in [F#] the rare.
