Verse 1
(D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) Oh,
(C major) who will (G major) plough the field?
Or who (C major) will sell (G major) the corn? (D major)
(E minor) Or who (A minor) will wash the (E minor) sheep
and have (C major) them nicely (G major) shorn?
The (E minor) stag (A minor) that's in (E minor) the haggard
and (C major) thrashed it merry men
(D major) Since Johnny (E minor) went (G major) a -thrashing
(C major) the dirty king of (G major) Spain (D major) (E minor) (C major)
(G major) The (C major) girls from (E minor) the barn (G major) o
'er in sor (C major) row may retire
(G major) The (E minor) piper (A minor) and (E minor) his bellows
may (C major) go home and blow (D major) the fire,
for (E minor) Johnny, (A minor) lovely (E minor) Johnny,
(C major) is sailing for the (D major) men,
along (E minor) with other (G major) patriarchs
(A minor) To fight (C major) the King (G major) of Spain
The (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) boys (C major) will (G major) sorely (E minor) mis (G major) s him
When (A minor) Mano (C major) har (G major) comes round
(D major) And (E minor) grieve (A minor) that their (E minor) bold captain
(C major) is nowhere to be (D major) found,
the (E minor) peelers must stand idle
(C major) against their will and (D major) grain,
for the valiant (E minor) boy who (G major) gave them work
now (A minor) peels (C major) the king of (G major) Spain. (D major) (E minor) (C major)
(G major) If (C major) cruel fate (G major) (E minor) will not (G major) permit
our Johnny (C major) to re (G major) turn
(D major) His (E minor) heavy (A minor) loss, we
(E minor) Bantry girls (C major) will never cease (G major) to mourn
(D major) We'll resign (E minor) ourselves to our sad lot
(C major) And die in grief and (D major) pain
Since Johnny (E minor) died for (D major) Ire (G major) land's pride
(A minor) In the foreign (C major) land of (G major) Spain (D major)
(E minor) (C major) (G major)
