VERSE 1 
C5  A5       F5         C5      G5
Of all the money that e'er I had,
  C5               C5     G5 
I spent it in good company. 
     A5       F5       C5    G5
And all the harm I've ever done, 
   C5           A5       F5
alas it was to none but me.
    C5   F5    C5        C5    F5  G5 
And all I've done for want of wit
   F5            C5      G5 
to mem'ry now I can't recall; 
   A5    F5       C5        G5
So fill to me the parting glass,
     C5                A5     F5 
Good night and joy be to you all. 

CHORUS 1
     C5       F5      C5       G5 
[So] fill to me the parting glass
    G5       A5          F5     G5 
And drink a health whate?er befalls
    A5     F5        G5      C5 
And gently rise and softly call
     C5                A5     F5 
Good night and joy be to you all 

VERSE 2
C5
Of all the comrades that e'er I had, 
                           G5
They're sorry for my going away.
    A5                       F5     C5 
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had,
C5                       G5      C5 
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
    C5       A5     C5      G5 
But since it fell unto my lot,
     G5        A5       F5          G5 
That I should rise and you should not,
A5       F5               C5 
I gently rise and softly call,
C5                     G5      C5 
Good night and joy be to you all.
CHORUS 2
        C5            F5          C5          G5 
[So] fill to me the parting glass
          G5          A5            F5            G5 
And drink a health whate?er befalls
         A5      F5               F5       C5 
And gently rise and softly call
            C5                          G5      C5 
Good night and joy be to you all 

BRIDGE

And gently rise and softly call
     C5                G5      C5 
Good night and joy be to you all
