Paddys Green Shamrock Shore

      D                                 C G     D
From Derry quay, we sailed away, on the 23rd of May
          G      D                                 C
We were boarded by a pleseant crew bound for Americay.
       G      D                                              C    G
Fresh water there we did take on, five thousand gallons or more
     D
In case we'd run short going to New York,
     C            G         D
Far away from the Shamrock shore.

      D                              C             G      D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
     G          D                                                  C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
    G          D                                             C       G
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store,
           D
I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
      C            G        D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.

     D
We sailed three days and were all sea sick,
        C     G          D
Not a man on board was free.
          G      D                                            C
We were all confined unto our bunks, with no one to pity poor me.
      G     D                                                  C    G
No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t'was sore.
       D
Which makes me think more ofthe lassie I left
    C            G         D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.

      D                              C             G      D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
     G          D                                                  C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
    G          D                                             C       G
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store,
           D
I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
      C            G        D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.

    D
We safely reached the other side,
        C     G          D
After three and twenty days.
         G         D
We were taken as passengers by a man,
                                C
And led round in six different ways.
        G     D
So each of us drunk a parting glass,
                              C    G
In case we might never meet more.
        D
And we drank a health to old Ireland,
      C            G         D
And Paddy's green shamrock shore.

      D                              C             G      D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
     G          D                                                  C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
    G          D                                             C       G
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store,
           D
I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
      C            G        D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.
