VERSE 1 
C  Am       F         C      G
Of all the money that e'er I had,
  C               C     G 
I spent it in good company. 
     Am       F       C    G
And all the harm I've ever done, 
   C           Am       F
alas it was to none but me.
    C   F    C        C    F  G 
And all I've done for want of wit
   F            C      G 
to mem'ry now I can't recall; 
   Am    F       C        G
So fill to me the parting glass,
     C                Am     F 
Good night and joy be to you all. 

CHORUS 1
     C       F      C       G 
[So] fill to me the parting glass
    G       Am          F     G 
And drink a health whate?er befalls
    Am     F        G      C 
And gently rise and softly call
     C                Am     F 
Good night and joy be to you all 

VERSE 2
C
Of all the comrades that e'er I had, 
                           G
They're sorry for my going away.
    Am                       F     C 
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had,
C                       G      C 
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
    C       Am     C      G 
But since it fell unto my lot,
     G        Am       F          G 
That I should rise and you should not,
Am       F               C 
I gently rise and softly call,
C                     G      C 
Good night and joy be to you all.
CHORUS 2
        C            F          C          G 
[So] fill to me the parting glass
          G          Am            F            G 
And drink a health whate?er befalls
         Am      F               F       C 
And gently rise and softly call
            C                          G      C 
Good night and joy be to you all 

BRIDGE
    C        Am     C     G 
But since it fell unto my lot,
     G        Am       F          G 
That I should rise and you should not,
   Am    F        G      C 
I gently rise and softly call,
C                     G      C 
Good night and joy be to you all.

And gently rise and softly call
     C                G      C
