***DANNY BOY - Traditional, arranged by Shane MacGowan
from the EP "Christmas Party"
Danny Boy - as performed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
C F
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
C G
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
C F
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
C G C
'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must bide
C F C
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Am F G
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
C F C Am
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine 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
