D 
Em 
D 
night as I lay dreaming
Am 
of pleasant days gone by
Em 
My mind being bent on rambling,
G 
to Ireland I did fly
D 
Em 
I crept aboard a vision,
G 
D 
and I followed with the wind
Em 
D 
When next I came to anchor
Am 
C 
at the cross of Spansol Hill
Em 
D 
Being on the 23rd of June,
Am 
the day before the fair
Em 
When Ireland's sons and daughters
G 
and friends assemble there
D 
Em 
The young, the old, the brave
G 
and the bold with a duty to fulfil
D 
Em 
D 
At the parish church near Cooney,
Am 
C 
a mile from Spancil Hill
Em 
D 
I went to see my neighbours,
Am 
Em 
to see what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone,
G 
and the young were turning grey
D 
Em 
I met the tailor quickly,
G 
he's as bold as ever still
D 
Em 
D 
Sure he used to mend me britches
Am

Em 
D 
I  paid a flying visit
Am 
Em 
To my one and only true love
She's as gentle as a lily
G 
and as snow -white as a dove
D 
Em 
She threw her arms around me,
G 
D 
saying, Johnny, I love you still
Em 
As she's Nell,
D 
the farmer's daughter
Am 
C 
Em 
She's the pride of Spanslow Hill
D 
I dreamt I held and kissed her
Am 
Em 
As in  the days of yore
Ah sure Johnny, you're only joking
G 
As many a time before
D 
Em 
And when the cock he
crew in the morning
G 
D 
Well he grew both loud and shrill
Em 
D 
And I awoke in California
Am 
C

Many miles from Spancil Hill
