Farewell To Dublin

	C	F	Dm	G
Fare	thee well until we meet again down	by the	Liffey	water

	C	F	C
I'll	bid farewell to Dublin and her	streets of cobble	stones

	F	C	G	G7	G
I'm going away to	leave you, my	friends and	all the	girls,	too

	C	F	G	G7	G
Till	I return to	see you, fare	well old	Dublin	town.

	C	F	Dm	G
To the	city of our fathers, where	friends and	foe have	gathered

	C	F	C
Where the	Norman, Dane and Saxon have	mingled with the	Gael

	F	C	G	G7	G
Administered the	kingdom but	soon the	Pale was	ree	ling

	C	F	G	G7	G
To	cradle Ireland's	freedom in	dear old	Dublin	town.

	C	F	Dm	G
Down	by the river Poddle there was	whiskey,	stout and	coddle

	C	F	C
It was	there with all the gentle folk, we	laughed and danced then	sang

	F	C	G	G7	G
And courted with your	daughters and	swam a	round your	wa	ters

	C	F	G	G7	G
And	seen our buildings	slaughtered in	dear old	Dublin	town.

	C	F	Dm	G
I re	member in my childhood her	mountains	and her	wildwoods

	C	F	C
I'd	read of all her heroes in the	classroom as a	boy

	F	C	G	G7	G
Of Thomas Street where	Emmet died, in	Sackville	Street they	fought with	pride

	C	F	G	G7	G
Of the	times when brave Wolfe	Tone did ride through	dear old	Dublin	town.

	C	F	Dm	G
Her	poets they were many and her	writers	they were	plenty

	C	F	C
There was	Swift with all his little folk and	Joyce and Molly	Bloom

	F	C	G	G7	G
Our heroes they're an	unsung gang, there's	Forty	Coats and	ould Bang	Bang

	C	F	G	G7	G
And	Zozimus who	always sang of	dear old	Dublin	town.

	C	F	Dm	G
And	now I'm standing on the quay, my	destin	y's un	certain

	C	F	C
Where	fortunes have lost and won with the	dealing of a	hand

	F	C	G	G7	G
The past it is a	purple haze, the	future	is an	untold	maze

	C	F	G	G7	G
The	present is a	nother gaze at	dear old	Dublin	town.

Repeat 1st verse
