[Verse 1]
E
Well, the Shenandoah was a good ship, mates
B
From Dublin town she came
A E
And the captain being an Irishman
B E
And Murphy was his name
E
'Twas on the 17th of March
B
We lay in Mobile Bay
A E
And the captain being an Irishman
B E
Did celebrate the day
E
The crew, all being union men
B
Who came from Dublin town
A E
And the flag they flew from the masthead
B E
Was the harp without the crown
[Chorus]
E B
Hurrah, hurrah
A E
For the girls of Dublin town
E B
Hurrah for the bonnie green flag
E B E
And the harp without the crown
[Verse 2]
E
Now we're finished loading
B
And homeward we will sail
A E
May the lord above protect us
B E
From many a wintry gale
E
We send aloft the canvas, boys
B
And work without a frown
A E
And from the mast of the Shenandoah
B E
Was the harp without the crown
[Chorus]
E B
Hurrah, hurrah
A E
For the girls of Dublin town
E B
Hurrah for the bonnie green flag
E B E
And the harp without the crown
[Verse 3]
E
Now we're in the Channel, boys
B
There's lovely things to see
A E
Those highland hills and lowland dales
B E
They look so good to me
E
And now we're off the Bailey Light
B
The ship is seen from town
A E
The girls all shout, "Here's the Shenandoah
B E
And the harp without the crown."
[Chorus]
E B
Hurrah, hurrah
A E
For the girls of Dublin town
E B
Hurrah for the bonnie green flag
E B E
And the harp without the crown
[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
E
And now that we are landed
B
And safe on Dublin's shore
A E
We'll say goodbye to the Shenandoah
B E
And go to sea no more
E
We'll drink strong ale and porter
B
And pass the jug around
A E
And say goodbye to the Shenandoah
B E
And the harp without the crown."
[Chorus]
E B
Hurrah, hurrah
A E
For the girls of Dublin town
E B
Hurrah for the bonnie green flag
E B E
And the harp without the crown
