[Verso 1]
C
Céilí ar an trá, b'aoibheann liom é,
Fmaj7
Ag damhsa san uisce nuair a chonaic mé í.
C
Ní raibh's a'am a hainm, nó an teach ina raibh sí ann,
Fmaj7
ach bhí sí speisialta, agus thit mé i ngrá.
[Refrão]
C Em
Céilí ar an trá, b'aoibheann liom é,

Bhí craic agus spraoi ag deireadh an lae.

Bhí craic agus spraoi ag deireadh an lae.
[Verso 2]
C
Céilí ar an trá, ba bhreá liom é,
Fmaj7
Chas mé le cailín álainn, ach d'imigh sí uaim.
C
Ag smaoineamh fúithi, níor éist mé sa rang
Fmaj7
Cá ndeachaigh mo chailín? níl's a'm.
[Refrão]

Bhí craic agus spraoi ag deireadh an lae.
[Verso 3]
C
Chonaic mé í an oiche sin,
Fmaj7
Chaith sí gúna glas.
C
Duirt mé ar mhaith leat damhsa liomsa?
Fmaj7
Agus d'fhreagair sí "Bheadh sin go
deas".
[Ponte]
Am
Bhí am iontach againn,
Em
ach bhí an t-am ró-ghearr
Am
Bhí an céilí sin críochnaithe
F
Ach bhí an t-am gearr thar barr
[Refrão]
C Em
Céilí ar an trá, b'aoibheann liom é,
Am F
Bhí craic agus spraoi ag deireadh an lae.

Am F
Bhí craic agus spraoi ag deireadh an lae.
