Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are c alling
C G
>From glen to glen, an d down the mount ain side
C F
The summer's gone , and all the roses fal ling
C G C
'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must b ide

C F C
But come ye back when s ummer's in the me adow
Am F G
Or when the va lley's hushed and white with s now
C F C am
'Tis I'll be there in suns hine or in shadow
C G C
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying

If I am dead, as dead I may well be

You'll come and find the place where I am lying


And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me


And all my grave shall warm and sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me
