Cara Dillon - The Parting Glass
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[VERSE 1]
Of Amall the moFney that CI have Ghad
I Amspent it in good CcompaGny
And Amof the Fharm that CI have Gdone
AAmlas, it Cwas to Fnone but Amme
And Call I've Fdone for Cwant of Fwit
To Dmmemory Cnow, I Fcan't reGcall
So Amfill to Fme the Cparting Gglass
GoodAmnight and Cjoy be Fwith you Amall
[VERSE 2]
Of all the cFomrades that CI have Ghad
They are Amsorry for my Cgoing aGway
And Amall the Fsweethearts that Ce'er I Ghad
They would Amwish me Cone more Fday to Amstay
But Csince it Ffalls unCto my Flot
That DmI should Crise and Fyou should Gnot
I'll Amgently Frise and Csoftly Gcall
"GoodAmnight and Cjoy be Fwith you Amall"
[VERSE 3]
A man may Fdrink and Cnot be Gdrunk
A Amman may fight and Cnot be Gslain
A Amman may Fcourt a Cpretty Ggirl
And perDmhaps be Cwelcomed Fback aAmgain
But Csince it Fhas so Cordered Fbeen 
By a Dmtime to Crise and a Ftime to Gfall
Come Dmfill to me the Fparting Gglass
GoodAmnight and Cjoy be Fwith Gyou Fall
Come Dmfill to me the Fparting Gglass
GoodAmnight and Cjoy be Fwith Gyou Fall

Cara Dillon - The Parting Glass

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[VERSE 1]

Am F C G

Of all the money that I have had

Am C G

I spent it in good company

Am F C G

And of the harm that I have done

Am C F Am

Alas, it was to none but me

C F C F

And all I've done for want of wit

Dm C F G

To memory now, I can't recall

Am F C G

So fill to me the parting glass

Am C F Am

Goodnight and joy be with you all

[VERSE 2]

F C G

Of all the comrades that I have had

Am C G

They are sorry for my going away

Am F C G

And all the sweethearts that e'er I had

Am C F Am

They would wish me one more day to stay

C F C F

But since it falls unto my lot

Dm C F G

That I should rise and you should not

Am F C G

I'll gently rise and softly call

Am C F Am

"Goodnight and joy be with you all"

[VERSE 3]

F C G

A man may drink and not be drunk

Am C G

A man may fight and not be slain

Am F C G

A man may court a pretty girl

Dm C F Am

And perhaps be welcomed back again

C F C F

But since it has so ordered been

Dm C F G

By a time to rise and a time to fall

Dm F G

Come fill to me the parting glass

Am C F G F

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Dm F G

Come fill to me the parting glass

Am C F G F

Goodnight and joy be with you all
