wolfe tones - farewell to dublin lyrics
farewell to dublin
fare[c] thee well until we meet again down [f] by the
[dm] liffey[g] water
i’ll[c] bid farewell to dublin and her[f] streets of
cobble[c]stones
i’m going away to[f] leave you, my [c] friends and [g]
all the[g7] girls, [g] too
till[c] i return to [f] see you, fare[g]well old [g7]
dublin[g] town.
to the [c] city of our fathers, where [f] friends and
[dm] foe have [g] gathered
where the [c] norman, dane and saxon have [f] mingled
with the [c] gael
administered the [f] kingdom but [c] soon the [g] pale
was [g7] ree[g]ling
to [c] cradle ireland’s [f] freedom in [g] dear old
[g7] dublin [g] town.
down [c] by the river poddle there was [f] whiskey,
[dm] stout and [g] coddle
it was [c] there with all the gentle folk, we [f]
laughed and danced then [c] sang
and courted with your [f] daughters and [c] swam
a[g]round your [g7] wa[g]ters
and [c] seen our buildings [f] slaughtered in[g] dear
old [g7] dublin [g] town.
i re[c]member in my childhood her [f] mountains [dm]
and her [g] wildwoods
i’d [c] read of all her heroes in the [f] cl-ssroom as
a [c] boy
of thomas street where [f] emmet died, in [c] sackville
[g] street they [g7] fought with [g] pride
of the [c] times when brave wolfe [f] tone did ride
through [g] dear old [g7] dublin [g] town.
her [c] poets they were many and her [f] writers [dm]
they were [g] plenty
there was [c] swift with all his little folk and [f]
joyce and molly [c] bloom
our heroes they’re an [f] unsung gang, there’s [c]
forty [g] coats and [g7] ould bang [g] bang
and [c] zozimus who [f] always sang of [g] dear old
[g7] dublin [g] town.
and [c] now i’m standing on the quay, my [f]
destin[dm]y’s un[g]certain
where [c] fortunes have lost and won with the [f]
dealing of a [c] hand
the past it is a [f] purple haze, the [c] future [g] is
an [g7] untold [g] maze
the [c] present is a[f]nother gaze at [g] dear old [g7]
dublin [g] town.
