Verse 1
While (E minor) in the merry month of
May, from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam
(D major) nearly brokenhearted
Sa (E minor) luted father dear,
kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me (D major) grief
and tears to smother
(E minor) Then off to reap the corn and leave
Verse 2
(E minor)
where I was born
Cut a stout black (D major) thorn to banish ghosts
And (E minor) goblin' brand new pair of (D major) brogues
to (E minor) rattle o'er the (D major) bogs
(E minor) And frighten all the (D major) dogs on the rocky
road to Dub (E minor) lin'
Verse 3
One, two, three four, five (E minor)
Hunt the hare and turn
her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin', whack- fol-
la- de- da
Verse 4
In Mullingar that night, (E minor) I rested,
limbs so weary
Started by daylight,
next (D major) mornin' light and airy
(E minor) Took a drop of the pure to keep me
heart from sinking
That's the paddy's cure when
(D major) there he's on for drinking
To (E minor) see the lassies smile
Verse 5
(E minor)
laughing all the while
At my curious style, 'twould (D major) set
your heart a- bubblin'
(E minor) Asked if was I hired,
and wages I required
Till I was almost tired (D major) over the rocky
road to Dublin'
Verse 6
One, two, three, four, (E minor) five
Hunt the hare and turn
her down the rocky roads
And (D major) all the way to (G major) Dub
lin', whack- fol- (D major) la- de- (E minor) da
Verse 7
In Dublin' next (E minor) arrived,
I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a
(D major) view of that fine city
(G major) Then I took a (E minor) stroll all among the quality
Bundle it was stolen (D major) in that
neat locality
(E minor) Something crossed me
Verse 8
(D major) mind
(E minor) when I looked be (D major) hind
No (E minor) bundle could I (D major) find upon me
stick a wobblin'
(E minor) Cry ing after the (D major) rogue,
they (E minor) said me Connaught (D major) brogue
It (E minor) wasn't much in (D major) vogue on the
rocky road to Dublin'
Verse 9
One, two, (E minor) three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn
her down the rocky road
And (D major) all the way to Dub
(G major) lin', whack- fol- (D major) la- de- (E minor) da (G major) (D major)
(G major) From (E minor) there I got away, me spirits
Verse 10
(E minor)
never failing
Landed on the quay, just
(D major) as the ship was sailing
The (G major) Captain (D major) at me (E minor) roared,
said that no room had he
Then I jumped aboard a (D major) cab
in found for paddy
(E minor) Down among the (D major) pigs, (E minor) did some
Verse 11
hearty (D major) rigs
(E minor) Played some hearty (D major) jigs,
the water 'round me bubblin'
And (E minor) when off Holyhead,
(D major) (E minor) wished myself was (D major) dead
Or (E minor) better far in (D major) stead on the
rocky road to Dublin'
One, two, (E minor) three four, five
Verse 12
Hunt the hare and turn
her down the rocky road
And (D major) all the way to Dub (G major) lin', whack-
(D major) fol- la- de- (E minor) da (D major) (E minor)
(D major) The
Verse 13
boys of Liver (E minor) pool,
when we safely landed
(D major) Called myself a (E minor) fool,
I (D major) could no longer stand it
Blood began (E minor) to boil, temper I was losing
Poor Old Erin's Isle (D major) they
began (E minor) abusing
Verse 14
Hooray me soul, says (G major) I, me
Shillelagh (E minor) I let (D major) fly
Galway boys were by and saw
I was a hobble in
With a loud hurray,
they (G major) joined me (D major) in the affray
(E minor) Quickly cleared the (D major) way on the rocky
road to (E minor) Dub lin'
Verse 15
One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare (E minor)
and turn her down
the rocky road (D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
And (D major) all the way to (G major) (D major) (E minor)
Dublin', whack- fol- la- de- da
