Verse 1
         A        A7                  D       Dm 
O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling 
             A                          E   E7 
From glen to glen and down the mountainside 
             A        A7      D             Dm 
The summer's gone and all the roses falling 
               A        E7            A 
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide 
 
Chorus 1
             A        D               A       F#m 
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow 
           A        D                     E    E7 
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow 
             A       D              A       F#m 
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow 
        A            E7              A 
O Danny Boy, O Danny Boy, I love you so 
 
Verse 2
     A                  A7                 D     Dm 
When winter's come and all the flow'rs are dying 
         A                    E      E7 
And I am dead, as dead I well may be 
                A        A7               D     Dm 
You'll come and find the place where I am lying 
              A       E7              A 
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me 
 
Chorus 2
            A            D               A       F#m 
But I shall hear, though soft you tread above me 
           A           D               E   E7 
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be 
             A         D               A       F#m 
And you will bend and tell me that you love me; 
             A               E7              A 
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me 
 
Verse 3
        A                              D     Dm 
O Danny Boy, the stream flows cool and slowly; 
                A                        E    E7 
And pipes still call and echo 'cross the glen 
            A      A7                 D     Dm 
Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly 
              A    E7              A 
For you have not returned to smile again 
 
Chorus 3
             A        D                   A        F#m 
So if you've died and crossed the stream before us 
             A      D              E7 
We pray that angels met you on the shore; 
                A         D              A         F#m 
And you'll look down, and gently you'll implore us 
   A               E7              D         Dm 
To live so we may see your smiling face once more 
      A 
Once more
