G (320003@1)                                  
I have travelled many lands,and I still don't understand
  C (x32010@1)               Am (x02210@1)        DHow (xx0232@1)sad you have become on my return
   GYour (320003@1)poor heart is filled with care,sad and old they left you there
        D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)          GYour (320003@1)once bright eyes with sorrow softly burn
        C (x32010@1)                          G (320003@1)     
I can even sense the change in the sound of childrens games
         D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)               G (320003@1)               G7 (320001@1)And the dreams of youth's ambitions have all turned to doubt and fear
           C (x32010@1)                            G (320003@1)          
It's an  age of wealth Im told but I've never felt so old
   D (xx0232@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)        GAs (320003@1)I recall old Dublin in my tears

G (320003@1)                                  
All the  faces that I meet as I roam each one way street
 C (x32010@1)                   Am (x02210@1)        DReflect (xx0232@1)the empty statements of our time
  GAnd (320003@1)the  old cathedral bell can't be heard above the swell
        D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)          GFor (320003@1)the  years erased the message in her chimes
C (x32010@1)                          G (320003@1)     
All my childhood friends are gone,like the street where I was born
         D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)          G (320003@1)        G7 (320001@1)And the  time that it has taken doesn't  seem so long ago
           C (x32010@1)                            G (320003@1)          
They have faded in the gloom like 'Sap Kelly' from the Coombe
          D (xx0232@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)              GLike (320003@1)the ghost of dear old Dublin in my  tears.

G (320003@1)                                  
There were times when jobs were few,there were hungry days we knew
 C (x32010@1)                   Am (x02210@1)        DSome (xx0232@1)days so bad their memory I've cursed
  GAnd (320003@1)the  prayer I said to God,there on board the Princess Maud
        D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)          GThat (320003@1)our children would restore the pride we lost
C (x32010@1)                          G (320003@1)     
But the  past we all forsake while we're dancing at her wake
         D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)        G (320003@1)         G7 (320001@1)      
And the  heart of Dublin's dying,but no body seems to care,
           C (x32010@1)                            G (320003@1)          
And the  fools as they pass by,laugh to see an old man cry
       D (xx0232@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)           GBut (320003@1)I can't forget old Dublin in my tears

G (320003@1)                                  
Gather round brave men and true, though our numbers may be few
 C (x32010@1)                             Am (x02210@1)                 DAnd (xx0232@1)we'll drink a toast before I cross the foam
  GFor (320003@1)soon in London's dark domain,I'll recall how I became
        D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)          GNo (320003@1)more a stranger there, than here at home
C (x32010@1)                          G (320003@1)     
But the  liffey flows along and I listen for her song
         D (xx0232@1)                  D7 (xx0212@1)               G (320003@1)       G7 (320001@1)And the  voice of young James Larkin seems to echo in my ears
           C (x32010@1)                            G (320003@1)          
But its  just the rafters ring,to it's requiem I'll sing
   D (xx0232@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)        GFarewell (320003@1)to dear old Dublin in my tears,
   D (xx0232@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)              C (x32010@1)  G......
Farewell to dear old Dublin in my tears ..
