Fare thee well until we meet again [D] Down by the [E] Liffey waters
[A] I'll bid farewell to Dublin And [D] her streets of [A] cobbled stone
I'm going away [D] to leave you [E] My friends and all the girls too
[A] Till I return [D] to see you [E] Farewell old Dublin town
To [A] the city of our fathers [D] Where friend and [E] foe have gathered
[A] Where the Norman, Dane and Saxon [D] Have mingled [A] with the Gael
[D] Administered the kingdom [E] And soon the pay was reeling
[A] To cradle [D] Ireland's freedom In dear old Dublin town
[A] Down by the river puddle [D] There was whiskey, stout [E] and cuddle
[A] It was there with all the gentle folk [D] We laughed and [A] danced and sang
And courted with your daughters [E] And swam around your waters
[A] And seen our [D] buildings [E] slaughtered In dear old Dublin town
[A] I remember in my childhood [D] Our mountains [E] and our wild woods
[A]
I'd read of all our heroes [D] In the classroom [A] as a boy
Of Thomas [D] Street where Emmet died [E] In Sackville Street they fought with pride
[A] Of when Brave [D] Wolf toned it right [E] Through dear old Dublin town
Her [F#] [A] poets day were many [D] And her writers day [E] were plenty
[A] There was Swift with all his little folk [D] And Joyce's Molly [A]
Balloon
Our heroes [D] Derryn and Sangain [E] There's Forty Colts and El Bang Bang
[A] And Zosimus [D] who always sang [E] Of dear old Dublin town
[A] And now I'm standing on the quay [D] My destiny's [E] uncertain
Where [A]
fortunes have been lost and won With [D] the dealing of [A] a hand
The past it is [D] a purple haze The [E] future is an untold maze
[A] The present is [D] an abergaze [E] At dear old [A] Dublin town
[N]
[A] I'll bid farewell to Dublin And [D] her streets of [A] cobbled stone
I'm going away [D] to leave you [E] My friends and all the girls too
