         C Cmaj7  C7                    F     Fm
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
               C       Am                D7  G
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
             C Cmaj7 C7              F   Fm
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
               C Am     Dm     G       C
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

Chorus:
G   Am   G   C         F               C
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
G  Am    G   Am       F           C          D G
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
             C  C    F               C  Em  Am Fm
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
          C             Dm    G        C
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

        C Cmaj7 C7                F   Fm
But if he come and all the roses dying
          C  G    Am  Am           D   G
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
                 C Cmaj7 C7                F   Fm
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
               C  Am F     G        C
And kneel and say an Ave there for me

Chorus:
G  Am  G     C            F               C
And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me
G    Am   B  Am  Am     F       C        D   G
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
              C  C     F                C  Em  Am G#
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
             C       Am     Dm       G       C
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
C     Am    F     G         C
 (Oh Danny boy I love) you so
