Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramG+G                               Chord diagramA minorAm
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by,
                                   Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G
Me mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly,
  Chord diagramA minorAm                           Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG+G
I stepped aboard a vision, and followed with a will,
      Chord diagramA minorAm              Chord diagramG+G                               Chord diagramA minorAm
And I shortly came to anchor, at the cross on Spancil Hill.

   Chord diagramA minorAm                Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramA minorAm
It being the 23rd of June, the day before the fair,
                                      Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G
When Irelands' sons and daughters, in crowds assembled there,
    Chord diagramA minorAm
The young and the old, the brave and the bold,
Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramA minorAm
Came their joy to fulfill, there were jovial conversations at the fair at Spancil
Hill.

  Chord diagramA minorAm             Chord diagramG+G                                  Chord diagramA minorAm
I went to see my neighbors, to hear what they might say,
                                         Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray,
  Chord diagramA minorAm                                  Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramG+G
I met with the tailor Quigley he's as bald as ever still,
        Chord diagramA minorAm              Chord diagramG+G                                Chord diagramA minorAm
Sure he used to make me britches when I lived in Spancil Hill.

  Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramG+G                          Chord diagramA minorAm
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
                                  Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G
She's as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove,
    Chord diagramA minorAm                               Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G
She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still,
          Chord diagramA minorAm               Chord diagramG+G                                  Chord diagramA minorAm
Oh, she's Nell the farmers daughter and the flower of Spancil Hill.

  Chord diagramA minorAm                 Chord diagramG+G                             Chord diagramA minorAm
I dream't I held and kissed her, as in the days of yore,
                                        Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G
She said Johnny you're only joking like many's the times before,
    Chord diagramA minorAm                           Chord diagramC majorC                  Chord diagramG+G
The cock he crew the morning, he crew both loud and shrill,
       Chord diagramA minorAm          Chord diagramG+G                               Chord diagramA minorAm
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
