The Parting Glass - as perfomed by The Pogues

Dm (xx0231@1)                         COf (x32010@1)all the money that e'er I spent
     Dm (xx0231@1)                CI've (x32010@1)spent it in good company
    Dm (xx0231@1)                     CAnd (x32010@1)all the harm that ever I did
 Dm (xx0231@1)   C (x32010@1)    DmAlas (xx0231@1)it was to none but me
    FAnd (133211@1)all I've done for want of wit
   Gm (355333@1)       FTo (133211@1)memory now I can't recall
   Dm (xx0231@1)                   CSo (x32010@1)fill to me the parting glass
     Dm (xx0231@1)      C (x32010@1)    DmGood (xx0231@1)night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
