Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling 
 
             C        Am                Dm   G7 
From glen to glen and down the mountain side 
 
             C                C7          F     Fm 
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dying 
 
{the above line ends "all the roses dying" in Elvis' version} 
 
               C        G7            C    C7 
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide 
 
 
            C         F               C      G7 
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow 
 
             C        F                    Dm   G7 
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 
 
            C C7    F              Am7    F 
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow 
 
         C             Dm    G        C 
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so 
 
 
But if he come and all the roses dying 
And I am dead, as dead I well may be 
He'll come here and find the place where I am lying 
And kneel and say an ava there for me 
 
And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me 
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be 
For you will bend and tell me that you love me 
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
