Danny Boy Uke tab by Harry Belafonte (Baritone Chords)

(spoken)
The Time, a time of strife. 
The Place, the place is Ireland. 
And as Irish legend had it, 
as the last rose of Summer fell, 
and all the young men of Ireland 
were to gather to strike a blow 
For Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, 
There were songs for those who stayed at home, 
and songs for those who went away, 
and all of Ireland was sad

[Verse 1]
    A              A7                   D      Dm
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
             A         F#m               Bm   E7
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
             A         A7            D       Dm
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
               A               E7     A
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
            D         E7              A
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
            F#m      D                     Bm   E7
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
              A      D              A      Dm
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
          A       F#m   Bm        E7       A
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I'll miss you so!


[VERSE 2]
A          A7                          D    Dm
But if you fall as all the flowers are dying,
            A       F#m               Bm E7
and you are dead as dead you well may be,
               A       A7                  D    Dm   
I'll come and find the place where you are lying,
    A                  E7            A
and kneel and pray and Ave there for thee`.
            D         E7              A            
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
            F#m      D                     Bm  E7
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
             A        D             A      Dm
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
          A       F#m   Bm     E7       A
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
