[Verse 1]
[C]Rin[G]g a[C] ring a rosie[F][C]
[Am]as the lights declines
[F]I rem[C]ember Dublin c[F]ity i[C]n
the [G]rare oul [C]times[G][C]
Raised on songs and [F]stor[C]ies,
heroes of [Am]renown
[C]The passing tales and [F]glor[C]ies,
that [G]once was Dublin [Em]town[G]
The [C]hallowed halls and [F]houses,
[C]the haunting children's [Am]rhymes
That [C]once was Dublin [F]city,
[C]in the Rar[G]e Oul Tim[C]es
Ring a ring [F]a rosie[C][Am]
as [G]the lights de[F]clines
I re[C]member Dublin [F]city[C]
in the [G]rare oul [C]times
My name it is Sean [F]Demp[C]sey
as Dublin as could [Am]be
Born [C]hard and late in [F]Pimlico [C]in a
[G]house that ceased [Em]to be[Dm]
[C]My trade I was a cooper,
lost out to redund[Am]ancy
Like my [C]house that fell to [F]progress[C]
[G]my trade's [C]a memory[F][C]
And I courted [F]Peggy[C]
Dignan, as pretty as you [Am]please
A [C]rogue and child of [F]Mary,
[C]from the reb[G]el lib[Em]erties
[G]I los[C]t her to a s[F]tudent cha[C]p,
with skin as black [Am]as coal
When [C]he took her off [F]to Birmingham,
[C]she too[G]k away my sou[C]l
Ring a ring [F]a rosie[C][Am]
as the lights de[F]clines
I re[C]member Dublin [F]city [C]in the
[G]rare [C]oul times[F][C][G][C]
The years have made me [F]bit[C]ter,
the gargle dims me [Am]brain
'Cause [C]Dublin keeps on [F]changing [C]and
[G]nothing seems [Em]the same[Dm]
[C]The Pillar and the [F]Met have [C]gone,
the Royal long since pulled [Am]down
As the [C]grey unyielding [F]concrete
[C]makes a c[G]ity of my Tow[C]n
Ring a ring [F]a rosie[C][Am]
as the lights de[F]clines
I re[C]member Dublin [F]city[C]
in the [G]rare oul [C]times
Fare thee well sweet Anna [F]Liffey,
[C]I can no longer sta[Am]y
And [C]watch the new glass [F]cages,
[C]that spring up [G]alo[F]ng the[Em] quay[Dm]
My [C]mind's too full [F]of memor[C]ies,
to old to hear new [Am]chimes
I'm a [C]part of what was [F]Dublin,
[C]in the Rar[G]e Oul Tim[C]es
Ring a ring [F]a rosie[C][Am]
as the light[G]s dec[F]lines
I re[C]member Dublin [F]city[C]
in the [G]rare oul [C]times
Ring a ring [F]a rosie[C][Am]
as the lights de[F]clines
I re[C]member Dublin [F]city [C]in the rar[G]e oul times
