Intro:  C Am G C (4x)  

   C       Am         C         G 
Of all the money that e'er I've seen 
     C        Am      C    G          
I've spent it in good company 
    C       Am        C        G 
And all the harm that ere I've done 
  C     Am     G        C   
Alas it was to none but me 
    C        Am       C       G 
And all I've done for want of wit 
   C      Am    C       G 
To memory now I can't recall 
   C       Am     C       G 
So fill to me the parting glass 
     C         Am     G        C 
Good night and joy be with you all   
Repeat intro 
   C       Am     C       G 
Oh fill to me the parting glass 
    C       Am          C       G 
And drink a health what ere befalls 
  C      Am       G      C 
I gently rise and softly call 
    C         Am     G        C 
Goodnight and joy be with you all 
   C       Am            C      G 
Of all the comrades that e'er I had 
        C     Am     C      G 
They're sorry for my going away 
    C       Am               C      G 
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had 
       C       Am       G      C 
They'd wish me one more day to stay 
    C        Am     C     G 
But since it fell unto my lot 
     C        Am       C          G 
That I should rise and you should not 
  C      Am       G      C 
I gently rise and softly call 
     C         Am     G        C 
Good night and joy be with you all   
C         Am        C      G 
A man may drink and not be drunk 
  C       Am        C      G 
A man may fight and not be slain 
  C       Am      G      C 
A man may court a pretty girl 
    C          Am       G    C   
And perhaps be welcomed back again
 
Intro

    C        Am     C       G 
But since it has so ordered been 
     C       Am         C       G 
By a time to rise and a time to fall 
     C       Am     C       G 
Come fill to me the parting glass 
     C         Am     G        C 
Good night and joy be with you all   
     Am        C      G        C 
Good night and joy be with you all
