The Rocky Road to Dublin Chords by The Dubliners

_ _ [C#] _ _ Well in the merry month of May, no f*** me [C#m] home, I started left the girls [B] in two,
And nearly broke and had a salute at [C#] Father Dear,
Kissed me darling mother, [D#] drank a pint of beer,
Me [B] grief and tears [G#m] disfathered, and up to reek the [C#] corn and leaf,
For I was born to hud [F#] a stout MacFarlane,
With those thin goblets upon your [C#] pair of brows,
To ruff the love of the bogs and [F#] frighten all the dogs,
And the [B] rocky roads to double and one, two, [C#] three, four, five,
Up to [E] Harriton and down the rocky [B] road,
And all the ways to double and make [C#] for Lully Down,
In Mull and Gather Pride I rested limbs so weary,
Started by [B] day light, next morning laid in dare,
He took a drop [C#] of the pure to keep me heart and drink,
And that's the paddy's [B] cure when air is [D#m] off a drink,
And they hear the [C#] lassie smile, laughing all the while,
At me [F#] curious style, could touch a heart of bull,
And they asked me was [C#] I hired, and wages I required,
Till I was almost [B] pired over the rocky road,
To double and one, two, three, [C#] four, five,
Up to Harriton and down the rocky [B] road,
And all the ways to double and [C#] make for Lully Down,
In Dublin next arrived a card,
It's such a pity to be so so in the [B] five,
The view of Dutfrin City then I [C#] took a stroll,
All a moon of [F#] quality bundle it was stole,
[B] In a neat little collie they [C#m] see, then crossed me mind,
When I looked behind, no wonder could I [B] find,
Upon me stick a warren, a [C#] quarren, after the rogue,
Suddenly come the sprogue, it wasn't [D#m] much in bow,
I'd done the rocky road to double and one, two, [C#] three, four, five,
Up to [B] Harriton and down the rocky road,
And all the ways to double and make for [C#] Lully Down,
From there I got away, me spirits [C#m] never fail,
And landed [B] under cage, just as the chute was sail,
And Captain at [C#] me roward, sat not old and hardy,
When I jumped [B] aboard a cab and fell for paddy,
[C#] Down among the pigs, did some hardy rigs,
I paid some hardy jigs, [B] the wards around me bubble,
And when [C#] I fully had, I wished me self was dead,
Or better far [B] instead, on the rocky road,
To double and one, two, [C#] three, four, five,
Up to Harriton and down the rocky [B] road,
And all [F#] the ways to double and make [C#] for Lully Down,
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed,
Called [B] me self with fuel, I could no longer [C#] stand it,
Blood began to boil, temper I was new as and poor,
Old Erin's oil, [B] they began abusing [C#] her army,
So old Sirs Amy, Shalalie, Ayla, Ply, Galway boys [D#m] were by,
And so I was a hobbling [G#m] with the low of her ray,
The [F#] joy and [C#m] then the afraid, quickly cleared the [D#m] way,
For the rocky road to double and one, two, three, four, [C#] five,
Up to Harriton and down the [B] rocky road,
And all the ways to double and [C#] make for Lully Down. _ _
