Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) Ring (C major) -a -ring -a (F major) -rosie, (C major)
as the light (A minor) declines,
I remember (C major) Dublin City
(F major) in (C major) (A minor) the (G major) rare old times. (C major) (G major) (C major)
Raised on songs and (F major) stories, (C major)
heroes of renown, (A minor)
The passing (C major) tales and (F major) glories
that (G major) once was Dublin town,
the (C major) hallowed halls and (F major) houses,
(C major) the haunting children's rhymes, (A minor)
that once (C major) was Dublin city
(F major) in the (G major) rare old (C major) times. (G major) (C major)
Ring -a -ring -a (F major) -rosie, (C major)
as the light de (A minor) clines,
I remem (C major) ber Dublin City
(F major) in (C major) the (G major) rare old (C major) times
My name is Sean (F major) Dempsey,
(C major) as Dublin as can be (A minor)
Born (C major) hard and late in (F major) Pimlico,
in a (G major) house that ceased to be
By trade (C major) I was a (F major) cooper, (C major)
lost out to redundancy, (A minor)
Like my (C major) house that fell to pro (F major) gress,
by trade's (G major) a memory. (C major)
And I courted Peggy (F major) Dignam, (C major)
as pretty as you please, (A minor)
A (C major) rogue and child of (F major) Mary,
from the (G major) rebel Liberties.
I lost (C major) her to Ashton (F major) Chap (C major) p
With skin as black as (A minor) coal
When he took (C major) her off to Birm (F major) ingham
He (G major) took away my (C major) soul (G major)
Ring (C major) -a -ring, now (F major) Rosie
(C major) As the light de (A minor) clines
I remem (C major) ber Dublin City
(F major) in (C major) the (G major) real old (C major) times (F major) (C major) (F major)
The years (C major) have made me (F major) bitter (C major)
The gargle dims me brain (A minor)
As (C major) Dublin keeps on changing (F major)
And noth (G major) ing seems the same.
The pil (C major) lar and the (F major) met have gone, (C major)
The royal long since pulled (A minor) down,
As the (C major) grey unyielding con (F major) crete
Makes the (G major) city of my (C major) town.
Know (G major) (C major) ing a (F major) Rosie, (C major) as the lights declined, (A minor)
I re (C major) membered Dublin City (F major)
in (C major) the (G major) rare old (C major) times.
Fare thee well, sweet Anna Liffey, (F major)
(C major) I can no longer (A minor) stay,
And (C major) watch the new glass cages (F major)
that spring (G major) up along the quay.
Me (C major) mind's too full of memories, (F major) (C major)
too old to hear new chimes, (A minor)
I'm a (C major) part of what was Dublin (F major)
in the (G major) rare old (C major) times. (G major)
(C major) Ring -a -ring -a (F major) -rosie, (C major)
as the light de (A minor) clines,
I re (C major) member Dublin city
(F major) in (C major) the (G major) rare old (C major) times.
(G major) Ring (C major) -a -ring -a (F major) -rosie, (C major)
as the light de (A minor) clines,
I remember (C major) Dublin city
(F major) in the (G major) rare old times.
(C major)
