Lyrics

[Verse 1]
             G
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes,
             C
the pipes are calling
             G             A7           D
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone,
G                  C
 and all the roses falling
               G         D
It's you, It's you, must go,
          G
and I must bide

[Chorus]
            G         C               G
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
                           A7               D
Or when the valley's hushed  and white with snow
       G        C              G
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
I'll be here oh Danny Boy,
C D             G
  I'll miss you so

[Verse 2]
Bb Eb F7 Bb           Bb
           But if you fall,
                      Eb
as all the flowers are  falling
           Bb                         F
And if you dead, as dead you well may be
                  Bb                       Eb
I'll come and find  the place where you are  lying
          Bb         F               Bb
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for we

[Chorus]
            Bb        Eb              Bb
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
                           C7               F7
Or when the valley's hushed  and white with snow
        Bb      Eb             Bb
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy,
Eb F7            Bb
   I'll love you so

[Outro]
| Eb F7 | Bb - |
