          G        G7                   C
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
               G                        D  D7
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
              G       G7             C
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
          G             D7             G
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide

Chorus:
             G         C               G    Em
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
             G        A                      D D7
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
         G       C               G
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
          G             C   D7          G
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so

But if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "ave" there for me

Chorus:
And I will know, though soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
And you'll bend down and tell me that you love me
And I will rest in peace until you come to me
