Farewell To Dublin Fare(C) thee well until we meet again down (F) by the (Dm) Liffey(G) water I'll(C) bid farewell to Dublin and her(F) streets of cobble(C)stones I'm going away to(F) leave you, my (C) friends and (G) all the(G7) girls, (G) too Till(C) I return to (F) see you, fare(G)well old (G7) Dublin(G) town. To the (C) city of our fathers, where (F) friends and (Dm) foe have (G) gathered Where the (C) Norman, Dane and Saxon have (F) mingled with the (C) Gael Administered the (F) kingdom but (C) soon the (G) Pale was (G7) ree(G)ling To (C) cradle Ireland's (F) freedom in (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town. Down (C) by the river Poddle there was (F) whiskey, (Dm) stout and (G) coddle It was (C) there with all the gentle folk, we (F) laughed and danced then (C) sang And courted with your (F) daughters and (C) swam a(G)round your (G7) wa(G)ters And (C) seen our buildings (F) slaughtered in(G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town. I re(C)member in my childhood her (F) mountains (Dm) and her (G) wildwoods I'd (C) read of all her heroes in the (F) cla**room as a (C) boy Of Thomas Street where (F) Emmet died, in (C) Sackville (G) Street they (G7) fought with (G) pride Of the (C) times when brave Wolfe (F) Tone did ride through (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town. Her (C) poets they were many and her (F) writers (Dm) they were (G) plenty There was (C) Swift with all his little folk and (F) Joyce and Molly (C) Bloom Our heroes they're an (F) unsung gang, there's (C) Forty (G) Coats and (G7) ould Bang (G) Bang And (C) Zozimus who (F) always sang of (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town. And (C) now I'm standing on the quay, my (F) destin(Dm)y's un(G)certain Where (C) fortunes have lost and won with the (F) dealing of a (C) hand The past it is a (F) purple haze, the (C) future (G) is an (G7) untold (G) maze The (C) present is a(F)nother gaze at (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
