Verse 1
Am 
D 
In  the merry month of June,
from me home I started
Dm 
D 
Em 
Left the girls of Tuam nearly
D 
broken hearted
Saluted father dear,
kissed my darling mother
Drank a pint of beer,
me grief and tears to smother
Em 
Then, off to reap the corn and leave
D 
where I was born
I cut a stout black- thorn to banish
ghost and goblin
Dm 
In a brand new pair of brogues,
D 
rattling o'er the bogs
And frightening all the dogs upon
the rocky road to Dublin
Am 
One, two, three, four,
Dm 
five: Hunt the hare and turn her
Em 
Dm 
Em 
Am 
Down the rocky reed and all the way
Dm 
Am 
Em 
to  Dab'. Wack- fol- lal- le- la

Verse 2
Am 
Em 
In Mulligar that night I rested
A 
Em 
limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning
bright and early
C#m 
Took a drop of the pure,
to keep my heart from sinking
Em 
That's the Paddy's cure,
whene'er he's up for drinking
To see the lassies smile,
laughing all the while
At my curious style,
C#dim 
C#m 
'twould set your heart-   a- bubblin'
Em 
They asked if I was hired, wages I required
D 
C#m 
I was almost tired of the rocky
Em 
Am 
road to Dublin

Verse 3
Am 
In Dublin next arrived,
I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived
G 
a view of that fine city
Am 
So then I took a stroll all
among the quality
G 
My bundle it was stole all in that
Am 
Em 
neat locality
Am 
Em 
Something crossed my mind, then
Am 
I looked be  hind
Em 
G 
No bundle could I find upon my
stick a- wobblin'
Am 
Enquirin' for the rogue, they
said my Connaught brogue
G 
Wasn't much in vogue upon the rocky
Em 
road to Dublin
Am 
G 
Am 

Verse 4
From there I got away,
my spirits never failin'
G 
Landed on the quay just as
the ship was sailin'
Am 
The captain at me roared,
said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard,
G 
a cabin found for Paddy
Am 
Em 
Down among the pigs,
Am 
Em 
I danced some funny jigs
Am 
Em 
Played some hearty rigs,
G 
the water round me bubblin'
Am 
Em 
When off Holyhead wished
Am 
myself was dead
G 
Em 
Am 
Or better far instead, upon the rocky road to Dublin

Verse 5
Am 
The boys of Liverpool, when
we safely landed
Called meself a fool,
G 
I could no longer stand it
Am 
Blood began to boil, temper I was losin'
G 
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusin'
Am 
Em 
Hur rah me soul says I,
Am 
Em 
me shillelagh I let fly
Am 
Em 
Some Galway boys were by,
G 
and saw I was a hobblin'
Am 
Then with a loud hurray,
joining the affray
