         C        C7                   F       Dm 
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling 
     G7      C        Am                Dm    G7 
From glen to glen and down the mountain side 
             C        C7           F 
The summer's gone and all the rose falling 
               C        Dm     G7     C 
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide 
    Cdim G7 C         Em              C 
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow 
C  Cdim G7  Am       F          Em         Dm   G7 
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 
            C7       F              C  Am   Am/G 
Yes I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow 
Am/F Fm    C/E     Am    Dm7    G7       C 
Oh   Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so 
 
Additional Lyrics 
1: 
But when ye come and all the flowers dying 
If I am dead, and 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 
2: 
And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me 
And all my grave will warmer sweeter be 
If you will bend and tell me that you love me 
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
