  F#m           D      A      E
Of all the money that e'er I had
      F#m     D        A    E
I've spent it in good company
    F#m      D         A         E
And all the harm that e'er I've done
 F#m      A     D    Bm  F#m
alas it was to none but me.

Chorus:
    A        D        A       D
And all I've done for want of wit
   Bm  A  D            E
to mem'ry now I can't recall;
    F#m     D      A       E
So fill to me the parting glass,
     F#m        A   D    Bm  F#m
Good night and joy be to you all.

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay

Chorus:
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again

Chorus:
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
