Verse 1
(G major) (A flatdim) (A major) (B major) (A major) (D major) It
seems like only yesterday
I (G major) sailed from out of Cork
(D major) A (G major) wanderer from Alderan's Isle
I (E major) landed in New (A major) York
There (D major) wasn't a soul to greet me there,
a (G major) stranger on your (D major) shore
But (G major) the Irish luck was (A major) with me (B major) here
and (E major) riches (A major) came galore
(D major) And (G major) now that I'm going back (A flatdim) again,
so (A major) dear Al (G major) deran's (F sharp minor) Isle
(B minor) My (F sharp minor) friends will meet me (G major) on the pier
and (E major) greet me with a smile
(A major) Their (D major) faces sure I've almost forgot
have (G major) been so long away (D major)
(A major) But me (G major) mother will introduce (A major) them all
and (E major) this to (A major) me will (D major) say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mikey,
boy, and (G major) here's your sister Kate
(D major) An d sure (G major) there's the girl you used to
swing down (E major) by the garden (A major) gate
Shake (D major) hands with all your neighbours
and (G major) kiss the coins, oh
(D major) You're as (G major) welcome (A flatdim) as
the (A major) flowers in (B major) May
to (E major) dear old (A major) Donny Gough
(D major) They'll line the roads
for miles and miles,
they'll (G major) come from near and (D major) far
And they'll (G major) give a party while I go home,
an (E major) Irish chant in (A major) cars
The (D major) spirits will flow and we'll be gay,
we'll (G major) fill your hearts with joy
(D major) An d the (G major) piper will (A flatdim) play an (A major) Irish reel
to (E major) greet the (A major) Yankee (D major) boy
We'll (G major) dance and sing the
(A flatdim) whole night long,
such (A major) fun as (G major) never was (F sharp minor) seen
The (B minor) (F sharp minor) lad s'll be decked in (G major) corduroy,
(F sharp minor) the (E major) colleens wearin' (A major) green
There'll be (D major) thousands
there that I never saw,
I've (G major) been so long away
(D major) But me (G major) mother will intro (A major) duce them all,
and (E major) this to (A major) me will (D major) say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy,
and (G major) here's your sister Kate
(D major) An d sure (G major) there's the girl
you used to swing down
(E major) by the garden (A major) gate
Shake (D major) hands with all your neighbours,
and (G major) kiss the colleens off
(D major) You're as (G major) welcome as the (A major) flowers in (B major) May
to (E major) dear ol' (A major) Penny Gough
(D major) Meet Brannigan, Fannigan,
(E minor) Milligan, (A major) Gilligan, Duffy, Mc (D major) Cuffy,
(E major) McCaffey, Ma (A major) hone
Raf (D major) ferty, Lafferty, (E minor) Donnelly, Connelly, (G major) Dooley,
O 'Hooley, Mul (F sharp minor) donnie, (D major) Malone
Madigan, Cadigan, Lanahan, (A major) Flanahan, (D major) Fagan,
O 'Hagan, O (E major) 'Hoolahan, (A major) Flynn
Shanahan, (D major) Manahan, (E minor) Hogarty, Hogarty,
(G major) Kelly, O 'Kelly, McGin (A major) nis, Megan (D major)
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy,
and (G major) here's your sister Kate
(D major) An d sure, (G major) there's the girl you used to
swing down (E major) by the garden (A major) gate
Shake (D major) hands with all your neighbors
and (G major) kiss the coin, Joe
(D major) You're (G major) as welcome as
(A flatdim) the flower (A major) s in May (B major)
To (E major) D -line or (A major) E -go (D major) you
Dear Old Donegal
