G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
 
 
[Verse]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
A hungry feeling 
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Came o'er me stealing
        C         G        Am             D7
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
 
[Verse]
To begin the morning
A screw was bawling
Get up ya bousey and clean out your cell
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
 
[Verse]
On a fine spring evening
The lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high above the wall
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
 
[Verse]
The lag lay sleeping
Oh the loike was creeping
And I lay there weeping for my good girl Sal
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
 
[Verse]
The wind was rising
And the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
 
[Verse]
Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
And it is among them that I wish I did dwell
 
[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle
 
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle
 
C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

I have seen him play this in several videos, and in person. He plays it both ways. Check out his duet with Damien Dempsey, where he is playing it without a capo.

Great song! Love the history it implies.

This isn't how Glen plays it. I've watched 2 videos and saw him do this live and he has a capo on the 5th fret and he is playing it in D not G. This is good and it would work but not quite how he does it.
