Intro: strum a D chord for two bars
D G D G
Raised on songs and stor-ies, heroes of renown
D G D A
Ah, the passing tales and glor-ies that once was Dublin town
D G D G
The hallowed halls and hous-es, the haunting childrens' rhymes
D G A D
That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times
(chorus)
D G D Bm
Ring a ring a ro-sey, as the light de-clines
D G A D
I re-member Dublin city in the rare ould times
Tempo change
D G D G
Well my name it is Sean Demp-sey, as Dublin as can be
D G D A
Born hard and late in Pimli-co, in a house that ceased to be
(enter electric guitar)
D G D G
By trade I was a coo-per, lost out to redundan-cy
D G A D
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memo-ry
D G D G
And I courted Peggy Dig-nam, as pretty as you please
D G D A
A rogue and child of Ma-ry, from the rebel Liberties
D G D G
I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal
D G A D
When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul
(chorus)
D G D G
The years have made me bit-ter, the gargle dims me brain
D G D A
Cause Dublin keeps on chang-ing, and nothing seems the same
D G D G
The Pillar and the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down
D G A D
As the grey unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town
(chorus)
(interlude, the chords are the same as the chorus ans a verse)
D G D G
Fare thee well sweet Anna Li-ffey, I can no longer stay
D G D A
And watch the new glass ca-ges, that spring up along the quay
D G D G
My mind's too full of memo-ries, too old to hear new chimes
(slow here)
D G A D
I'm a part of what was Dublin, in the rare ould times
(chorus 2x)
and thats that. it should be all correct, but if you find any problems email me.
