THE PARTING GLASS
CAPO 2
[VERSE 1]
Em C G D
Of all the money that e'er I had,
Em C G D
I spent it in good company.
Em C G D
And all the harm I've ever done,
Em G C Am Em
alas it was to none but me.
G C G C
And all I've done for want of wit
Am G C D
to mem'ry now I can't recall;
Em C G D
So fill to me the parting glass,
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all.
[CHORUS 1]
Em C G D
[So] fill to me the parting glass
Em C G D
And drink a health whatever befalls
Em C G D
And gently rise and softly call
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all
[VERSE 2]
Em C G D
Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
Em C G D
They're sorry for my going away.
Em C G D
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had,
Em G C Am Em
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
G C G C
But since it fell unto my lot,
Em G Em C D
That I should rise and you should not,
Em C G D
I gently rise and softly call,
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all.
[CHORUS 2]
Em C G D
[So] fill to me the parting glass
Em C G D
And drink a health whatever befalls
Em C G D
And gently rise and softly call
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all
[BRIDGE]
Em C G D
But since it fell unto my lot,
Em C G D
That I should rise and you should not,
Em C G D
I gently rise and softly call,
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all.
[CHORUS 3]
Em C G D
[So] fill to me the parting glass
Em C G D
And drink a health whatever befalls
Em C G D
And gently rise and softly call
Em G C Am Em
Good night and joy be to you all
