[Verse 1]
         [A]          [A7]                   [D]        [Dm]
Oh Danny boy,    the pipes, the pipes are calling
             [A]         [F#m]               [B7]   [E]
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
             [A]   [A7]            [D]     [Dm]
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
               [A]           [B]     [E]      [A]
'Tis you, 'tis you    must go and I must bide
 
[Chorus]
    [F#m]     [A]         [D]               [A]
But come ye   back when summer's in the meadow
[A]            [D]          [A]          [B7]   [E]
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
            [A]        [D]             [A]       [F#m] 
And I'll be here in sunshine or in sha-dow
         [A]             [Bm]    [E]        [A]   
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

[Verse 2]
       C               C7            F     Fm
When winter comes, and all the roses dying
         C        Am      D        G
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
                C        C7               F     Fm
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
              C         F   G         C
And kneel and say   an Ave there for me
 
[Chorus]
   Am        C            F               C
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
            C          Am       C      D7  G
And then my grave will warmer, sweeter be
             C        F                C          Am 
For you will bend and tell me that you lo- ve    me
            C             Dm        G      C 
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
             C            Dm        G      C 
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

C C7 F Fm – O Danny boy, the stream flows cool and slowly
C Am D7 G – And pipes still call and echo ‘cross the glen
C CMAJ7 C7 F Fm – Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly
C Dm G C – For you have not returned to smile again

Am C F C – So if you’ve died and crossed the stream before us
C F C D7 G – We pray that angels met you on the shore
C F C Am  – And you’ll look down, and gently you’ll implore us
C Dm G C  – To live so we may see your smiling face once more
C Dm G C  – To live so we may see your smiling face once more

MUSIC — OLD IRISH LONDONDERRY AIR
OH DANNY BOY,
THE PIPES, THE PIPES ARE CALLING
FROM GLEN TO GLEN,
AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE.
THE SUMMER’S GONE,
AND ALL THE FLOWERS ARE DYING.
‘TIS YOU, TIS YOU
MUST GO AND I MUST BIDE.

BUT COME YE BACK
WHEN SUMMER’S IN THE MEADOW,
OR WHEN THE VALLEY’S HUSHED
AND WHITE WITH SNOW.
‘TIS I’LL BE HERE
IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW.
OH DANNY BOY, OH DANNY BOY,
I LOVE YOU SO.
AND IF YOU COME,
WHEN ALL THE FLOWERS ARE DYING.
AND I AM DEAD, AS DEAD I WELL MAY 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,
THOUGH SOFT YOU TREAD ABOVE ME,
AND ALL MY DREAMS
WILL WARM AND SWEETER BE.
IF YOU’LL NOT FAIL
TO TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME.
I’LL SIMPLY SLEEP IN PEACE
UNTIL YOU COME TO ME.
I’LL SIMPLY SLEEP IN PEACE
UNTIL YOU COME TO ME.
