[intro]
    F       F7          Bb             F
The valleys hurt , the flowers all are dying
    Bb           F             G       C
the meadow winds wild with the winter snow
F          F7            Bb                  F
Lord as i stand at the place where daddys lying
Bb              F         C             F
I say a silent prayer and somehow i know
F  C       Dm   F7      Bb            F
He heres me there, tho soft i tread above him
    Bb               F          Gm   C                Dm Bb Gm Db F
Tho now he sleeps in peace his danny boy had come home
F Bb Bbm C
[verse 1]
F                  F7                  Bb
Oh danny boy , the pipes the pipes are calling
             F        Dm       F           Gm   C
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
            F        F7                 Bb      Gm
The summers gone and all the leaves are falling
            F        C             F
Its you its you must go and i must bide
[chorus]
   C           F             Bb                 F
Oh come here back when the sunshine roams the meadows
    C         F       Bb                 Gm
For when the valleys hush and white with snow
C            F       Bb         F A Dm Bb
For i'll be here in sunshine or shadows
   C     F      Dm    Gm    C            Dm Bb Gm F
Oh danny boy oh danny boy i love you so
[verse 2]
F          Bb        F     A    Dm  F7
I close my eyes and still i can see
Bb            C            F
Him standing there on the hill
F              Bb          F        A     Dm F7
Tears fill his eyes as he waves goodbye to me
  Bb       C    Gm      C     F
I cant forget i guess i never will
[chorus]
            F       F7          Bb              F
He said the valleys hurt , the flowers all are dying
   Bb          F    G                C
The meadow is white with the winter snow
F           F7                Bb                 F
Come find a place where you know that i'll be lying
Bb            F     Gm C   Dm   Bb Gm Db F
Say a silent prayer so i'll know
Gm   Db  F
Oooh Oooh
