[ D5 ] [ A5 ] [ B5 ] [ F#5 ] [ G5 ] [ D5 ] [ A5 ] [ G5 ] [ A5 ] [ D5 ]

The snow is gently [ A5 ] falling now,
And [ B5 ] I am sadly [ F#5 ] dreaming
Of [ G5 ] times of old and [ D5 ] happy days gone [ A5 ] by,
Of [ D5 ] Christmas cheers, songs [ A5 ] of the past,
When [ B5 ] Irish reels were [ F#5 ] ringin'
a- [ G5 ] round the kitchen [ D5 ] table all the [ A5 ] night.
May those [ G5 ] days never [ A5 ] trickle from your [ D5 ] mind.

Love it fills the [ A5 ] air so full, as [ B5 ] children's faces [ F#5 ] glisten,
While [ G5 ] old friends sing us [ D5 ] tales about the [ A5 ] sea
Of [ D5 ] wives at home with [ A5 ] hands embraced,
[ B5 ] waiting for men's re- [ F#5 ] turning,
With [ G5 ] eyes arced from the [ D5 ] wild and stormy [ A5 ] seas.
May those [ G5 ] days never [ A5 ] trickle from your [ D5 ] mind.

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

Everyone is [ A5 ] happy now
With [ B5 ] drinkin' songs and [ F#5 ] dancing,
While [ G5 ] Danny sings a [ D5 ] song of old and [ A5 ] new,
My [ D5 ] father tells a [ A5 ] tale of ships,
My [ B5 ] mother sings of [ F#5 ] Ireland,
And [ G5 ] I pipe up a [ D5 ] reel which stirs the [ A5 ] room.

My [ D5 ] sister plays a [ A5 ] merry tune,
And [ B5 ] Kevin beats the [ F#5 ] bodhran,
It [ G5 ] airs a Celtic [ D5 ] soul sound throughout the [ A5 ] room;
My [ D5 ] nanny sits and [ A5 ] listens while [ B5 ] drinkin hot- [ F#5 ] totties
And [ G5 ] thinking back on [ D5 ] days I never [ A5 ] knew.
May those [ G5 ] days never [ A5 ] trickle from your [ D5 ] mind.

Interlude: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
[ D5 ] [ G5 ] [ B5 ] [ G5 ] [ A5 ] [ D5 ]

The wind is blowing [ A5 ] harder now,
And [ B5 ] people must be [ F#5 ] leavin'
To [ G5 ] get back to their [ D5 ] homes around the [ A5 ] shore;
We [ D5 ] wish them all good [ A5 ] night,
G?d bless, a [ B5 ] quick and safe re- [ F#5 ] turning
To [ G5 ] nice warm beds and [ A5 ] children's waiting [ D5 ] arms.
May those [ G5 ] days never [ A5 ] trickle from your [ D5 ] mind.
May those [ G5 ] days never [ A5 ] trickle from your [ D5 ] mind.
