     D                                    G
The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks
             D                    G            Bm
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
 A    D                             G
You sang me a song as pure as the breeze
      D           G         A
On a road leading up Glenaveigh
   D                       G
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
             D                            G              Bm   A
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
  D                                             G
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
         D           G        A
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go

          D                  G    A
Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
          D                 G    A
Take my hand, forget your fears babe
            D                     G  A
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
             D  G               A
They're all gone, gone in the years babe

   D                                 G
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
          D                   G          Bm
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
 A         D                                  G
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
        D               G          A
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
         D                             G
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
              D                     G            Bm
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
           D                                  G
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
          D                   G          A
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

          D                  G    A
Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
          D                 G    A
Take my hand, forget your fears babe
            D                     G  A
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
             D  G               A
They're all gone, gone in the years babe

        D                G
So I walked as day was dawning
                    D                   G  Bm
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
               A                     D   G
Where we once watched the row boats landing
         D              G  A
By the broad majestic Shannon
