The Parting Glass Chords by Cara Dillon

The Parting Glass chords by Cara Dillon

Guitar chords with lyrics

Ed Sheeran tipped me off to this beautiful song, but Cara Dillon's voice is so captivating.  I think she does
my favorite version.  Cara's version is arranged for piano, with lots of noodly bits in-between the chords
-- and lots of frills/sustains.  I tried to find & adapt those parts for guitar as best I could.

All of the song's chords are tabbed-out at the very bottom ;)

No Capo / Standard Tuning
======================================================================

   Bm      G          D      A
Of all the money that e'er I had
      Bm   (Bm7)G       D    Asus4-A
I've spent  it  in good company
    Bm      Gmaj7     D         A
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Bm  (G) D/F#    G/Dsus4     Bm
Alas it was  to none    but me

        D        G        D       G
    And all I've done for want of wit
(D)     Em7    D     Bm      Asus4-A
     To mem'ry now I can't recall
       Bm  (Bm7)G      D       A
    So fill to  me the parting glass
        Bm    (G)  D/F# (A) G/Dsus4  (F#m7) Bm
    Goodnight and  joy   be with     you    all

   Bm      G             D   (D5)  Asus4-A
Of all the comrades that e'er I've had
         Bm7   Gmaj7   D      Asus4-A
They are sorry for  my goin' away
    Bm (Bm7)G                D   (D5)  A
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
           Bm  (G) D/F# (A)  G      Bm
They would wish me one  more day to stay

        D        G     D     G
    But since it falls unto my lot
(D)      Em7      D        Bm  (Bm7)  Asus4-A
    That I should rise and you should not
         G      (A7sus4 D5)          G      Asus4-A
    I'll gently rise        and I'll softly call
        Bm    (G)  D/F# (A) G/Dsus4  (F#m7) Bm
    Goodnight and  joy   be with     you    all

  Bm      G/Dsus4     D      Asus4
A man may drink   and not be drunk
  Bm7               Bm     Asus4-A
A man may fight and not be slain
  Bm (Bm7)G       D5     Asus4-A
A man may court a pretty girl
       Gmaj7 (G) D        G/Dsus4  (F#m7)Bm
And perhaps   be welcomed back         again

        D        G      D        G
    But since it has so ought to be
(D)      Em7     D          Bm  (Bm7)Asus4-A
    By a time to rise and a time to  fall
         G/Dsus4  (A7sus4 D5)     G       Asus4-A
    Come fill to me          the parting glass
        Bm    (G)  D/F# (A) G/Dsus4 (F#m7) G       D
    Goodnight and  joy   be with     you   all

         G       D5     G       Asus4-----A
    Come fill to me the parting glass,
         Bm   (G)  D (A) G    A   G
    Goodnight and joy be with you all
