[Intro]
C Am C F G C
[Verse 1]
          C        Am         C         F
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
             C                          D    G
From glen to glen and down the mountain side;
             C        Am      C      F
The summer's gone and all the roses falling,
               C         G             C
'tis you, 'tis you, must go and I must cry.
            Am         G               C
But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow,
            Am       G                      D    G
Or when the valley's flushed and white with snow;
            C        F              C
And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow.
          Am      C     F           G   C
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
[Verse 2]
          C        Am         C         F
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
             C                          D    G
From glen to glen and down the mountain side;
             C        Am      C      F
The summer's gone and all the roses falling,
               C         G             C
'tis you, 'tis you, must go and I must cry.
            Am         G               C
But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow,
            Am       G                      D    G
Or when the valley's flushed and white with snow;
            C        F              C
And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow.
          Am      C     F           G   C
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
