Intro: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. (Capo 1st Fret)
[ D ] [ A ] [ Bm ] [ F#m ] [ G ] [ D ] [ A ] [ G ] [ A ] [ D ]

The snow is gently [ A ] falling now,
And [ Bm ] I am sadly [ F#m ] dreaming
Of [ G ] times of old and [ D ] happy days gone [ A ] by,
Of [ D ] Christmas cheers, songs [ A ] of the past,
When [ Bm ] Irish reels were [ F#m ] ringin'
a- [ G ] round the kitchen [ D ] table all the [ A ] night.
May those [ G ] days never [ A ] trickle from your [ D ] mind.

Love it fills the [ A ] air so full, as [ Bm ] children's faces [ F#m ] glisten,
While [ G ] old friends sing us [ D ] tales about the [ A ] sea
Of [ D ] wives at home with [ A ] hands embraced,
[ Bm ] waiting for men's re- [ F#m ] turning,
With [ G ] eyes arced from the [ D ] wild and stormy [ A ] seas.
May those [ G ] days never [ A ] trickle from your [ D ] mind.

Interlude: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
(Normal Chord Progression)

Everyone is [ A ] happy now
With [ Bm ] drinkin' songs and [ F#m ] dancing,
While [ G ] Danny sings a [ D ] song of old and [ A ] new,
My [ D ] father tells a [ A ] tale of ships,
My [ Bm ] mother sings of [ F#m ] Ireland,
And [ G ] I pipe up a [ D ] reel which stirs the [ A ] room.

My [ D ] sister plays a [ A ] merry tune,
And [ Bm ] Kevin beats the [ F#m ] bodhran,
It [ G ] airs a Celtic [ D ] soul sound throughout the [ A ] room;
My [ D ] nanny sits and [ A ] listens while [ Bm ] drinkin hot- [ F#m ] totties
And [ G ] thinking back on [ D ] days I never [ A ] knew.
May those [ G ] days never [ A ] trickle from your [ D ] mind.

Interlude: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
[ D ] [ G ] [ Bm ] [ G ] [ A ] [ D ]

The wind is blowing [ A ] harder now,
And [ Bm ] people must be [ F#m ] leavin'
To [ G ] get back to their [ D ] homes around the [ A ] shore;
We [ D ] wish them all good [ A ] night,
G?d bless, a [ Bm ] quick and safe re- [ F#m ] turning
To [ G ] nice warm beds and [ A ] children's waiting [ D ] arms.
May those [ G ] days never [ A ] trickle from your [ D ] mind.
May those [ G ] days never [ A ] trickle from your [ D ] mind.
