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 C
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
G Am D7
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
G C
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
G Am G
Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide
G C
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
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
G Am G
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
G C
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
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
G Am G
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
G C
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
G Am D7
And all my grave shall warm and sweeter be
G C
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
G Am G
I’ll sleep in peace until you come to me
