  			         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 
 
G   Am  G/B C         F               C 
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow 
G  Am   G/B Am       F          C          D   G 
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 
            C C/E   F              C Em/B 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/B    Am Am/G         D/F# 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 
 
G  Am G/B   C            F              C 
And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me 
G   Am  B/G Am Am/G    F     C/E       D/F# G  
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be 
             C C/E    F                C Em/B 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
