Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone and all the roses dying

C Am Dm G C

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

G Am G/B C F C

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

G Am G/B Am F C D G

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

C C/E F C Em/B Am Fm

And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

C Dm G C

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

But if he come and all the roses dying

C G/B Am Am/G D/F# G

And I am dead, as dead I well may be

C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

C Am F G C

And kneel and say an Ave there for me

G Am G/B C F C

And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me

G Am B/G Am Am G F C/E D/F# G

And then my grave will richer, sweeter be

C C/E F C Em/B Am G#

For you will bend and tell me that you love me

C Am Dm G C

And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

C Am F G C

(Oh Danny boy I love) you so
