The Parting Glass chords
Start Jamming...
Oh, [A] all the money, the tear [B] I spent I spent it in good company
[E]
And all the harm, [F#m] the tear I've done Alas, [C] it was to none but me
And all I've done for [C#m] want of wit To marry now I can't recall
So fill [B] to me [G#m] the parting [E] glass Good night and joy [C#m] be [A] with you all
Oh, all the comrades, the tear I've had Are sorry for my going [B] away
[Em] [G#m] And [A] all the sweethearts, the tear I've had [E]
Would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not
[A#] I'll gently [Dm] rise and I'll [E] softly call Good night and joy be [A]
with you all
[E]
Good night and joy be [C#m] with you all
