[D]
[G] Raised on songs [C] and [G] stories, heroes of [Em] renown, [G] the passing tales [C] and [G] glories,
[D] that once [C] was [Bm] Dublin town.
[D] [G] The hallowed halls and [C] houses, [G] the haunting [Em] children's rhymes,

I [G] remember Dublin [C] city [G] in [D] the rare [G] of times.
Oh, the years have made [C] me [G] bitter, [Am] [G]
the gargle dims me [E] [Em] brain,
[G] Cos Dublin keeps [C] on [G] changing, [D] and nothing [E] [Bm] seems the same.
[D] [G] The pillar [C] and the met have [G] gone, the royal long since [Em] pulled down,
[G] As the grey [C] unyielding [G] concrete [D] makes the city of [G] my town.

I [G] remember Dublin [C] city [G] in [D] the rare
[G] of times.
Fare thee well, sweet Anna [C] [G] Liffey, I can no [Em] longer stay,
[G] And watch the new [C] glass [G] cages that [D] spring up along [Bm] the quay.

I'm a [G] part of what [C] was Dublin [G] [D] in the rare [G] of times.
