[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]From
Derricay we sailed away on
[C]the 23rd [G]of[D][G]
[D]May
We were [G]boarded [D]by a pleasant
crew bound for
America
[C]Fresh [G]water [D]there we did take
on 5 ,000 gallons or [C]more
[G]In [D]case we'd run short goin' to
New
York
Far [C]away from the [G]shamrock [D]shore
So fare thee well, sweet
Liza dear
And [C]likewise to
[G]Derry town
[D]And twi[G]ce farewell to [D]my
comrade's boys
Who dwell on that sainted [C]ground
[D]If [G]fortune [D]ever should favour me
I'll right have money in [C]store
[G]I'll come [D]back and I'll
wed the wee lassie I left
On
[C]Paddy's green [G]shamrock shore
[D]While we sailed three days,
we were all seasick,
Not [C]a man on [G]board was [D]free.
We were [G]all [D]confined unto our bunks,
With no one to pity poor [C]me.
No [G]father [D]kind, nor mother dear,
To lift up my head when it was [C]sore,
[G]Which [D]made me think more
of the lassie I left on
[C]Paddy's [D]green [G]sham[D]rock shore
So fare thee well, sweet
Lysa dear, and [C]likewise to
[G]Derry [D]town
And [G]twice [D]farewell to my comrades'
boys who dwell on that sainted ground
[C]If for[G]tune it eve[D]r should favour me
A right to have money in [C]store
[G]I'll [D]come back and I'll
wed the wee lassie I left
On
Paddy's [C]green [G]shamrock [D]shore[C][G]
[D][G][D][C]
[D][G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G][D]
Well, we safely reached the other
side in [C]three and [G]twenty [D]days.
We were [G]taken as [D]passengers
by a man and let
run in six different [C]ways.
We [G]each of [D]us drank a parting
glass in case we might
never meet [C]more.[G]
And we [D]drank a health to old
Ireland and
[C]that is green [G]shamrock [D]shore.
So fare thee well sweet
Lysa dear
and [C]likewise to
[G]Derry [D]town.
And [G]twice farewell [D]to my comrades boys
Who dwell on the sainted [C]ground
If [G]fortune it [D]ever should favour me
I'll write off money in [C]store
[G]I'll come [D]back and I'll wear
the wheel I see I left
On
[C]Paddy's green [G]shamrock [D]shore[C]
[G]You[D]
