Oh Danny Boy - Easy Beginner Version
Strum or Fingerpick
This version is terribly easy and is a great song for beginners to strum and play.
[G] [G7] [C]
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
[G] [Am] [D7]
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
[G] [G7] [C]
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
[C] [G] [Am] [D] [G]
Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide
[G] [C] [G]
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
[G] [Am] [D7]
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
[G] [C] [G]
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
[G] [C] [G]
But if you come, and all the flowers are dying
[G] [Am] [D7]
If I am dead, as dead I may well be
[G] [C] [G]
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
[Am] [D] [G]
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
[G] [C] [G]
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
[Am] [D7]
And all my grave shall warm and sweeter be
[G] [C] [G]
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
I’ll sleep in peace until you come to me
