C7       F                 F7        Bb      Gm7 
Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling   
     C7      F    Bb 
From glen to glen   
     F        Dm       Gm7  C 
 and down the mountain side   
C   Csus4 C  F        F7            Bb       
The summer's gone and all the roses falling  
     Gm7      F   Bb   F  C   C7     F    Bb F 
It's you it's you must go and I must bide     
   
C   Csus4 C F     
But come ye back  
     Bbadd9          F       
When summer's in the meadow  
C  Csus4 C  Dm7       
Or when the valley's  
Bbadd9     F          C    C7 
Hushed and white with snow *  
             F       Bbadd9         F      Dm7 
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow   
         F            Bbadd9 
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy  
  C7         F  Bbadd9 F 
I * love you so     
   
C7           F     
But when you come  
    F7                  Bb    Gm7 
and all the flowers are dying   
   C7   F    Bb F      Dm       Gm7 C 
If I am dead as dead I well may be   
C     Csus4 C 
Ye'll come   
    F        F7               Bb     
and find the place where I am lying  
    Gm7       F   Bb F C C7        F  Bb F 
And kneel and say an Ave there for me     
   
C   Csus4 C F     
And I shall hear  
       Bbadd9          F        
Though soft you tread above me  
C   Csus4 C Dm7  
And oh my grave  
     Bbadd9 F       C  C7 
Will warmer sweeter be *  
              F        Bbadd9           F       Dm7 
For ye'll not bend and tell me that you love me   
            F               
And I shall sleep in peace  
  Bbadd9  C7-3    F  Bbadd9 F 
Until you come to me
