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
