Verse 1:
   A augmentedA   Asus2/G# D/F#D/F#     E MajorE
I’ll never forget the walk to the station,
D MajorD      Asus2/C#     A augmentedA       E MajorE *
Me with your suitcase being brotherly and strong
   A/C#A/C#      D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7   E MajorE   F# minorF#m
And trying to make light of the whole situation,
   D MajorD     Asus2/C#  E/B        Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD E MajorE
In light conversation we moved through the throng

Verse 2:
   A augmentedA      Asus2/G#     D/F#D/F#       E MajorE
And you with your bright eyes and best dress for travelling
D MajorD    Asus2/C#      A augmentedA     E MajorE *
Me in my work clothes, unshaven and plain,
  A/C#A/C#  D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7  E MajorE    F# minorF#m
I fully intended to put in a half day
   D MajorD    Asus2/C#      E/B    Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD E MajorE
But my good intentions went with you on the train.

Verse 3:
    A augmentedA     Asus2/G#   D/F#D/F#       E MajorE
And I never looked back as the train left the station,
    D MajorD    Asus2/C#   A augmentedA    E MajorE *
Crossed over the roadway and into the park,
   A/C#A/C#    D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7  E MajorE     F# minorF#m
And there in a bar   an old man was singing,
  D MajorD      Asus2/C#  E/B      D MajorD E MajorE   A augmentedA
And I sat there drinking until it grew dark - so dark

Verse 4:
   A augmentedA    E MajorE      D MajorD  A augmentedA    D MajorD   E MajorE    A augmentedA
Oh, fare ye well, sweet Donegal, the Rosses and Gweedore.
   A augmentedA    E MajorE    D MajorD  E MajorE     D MajorD    A augmentedA   F# minorF#m  E MajorE
I'm crossing the main ocean, where plunging billows roar.
   A augmentedA    E MajorE     D MajorD   E MajorE      D MajorD     A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  E MajorE
It breaks my heart for us to part, we’ve spent many happy days
A augmentedA        E MajorE      D MajorD A augmentedA     D MajorD     E MajorE  A augmentedA
Far away from friends and relations, I'm bound for Amerikay.

Verse 5:
  A augmentedA        E MajorE     D MajorD     A augmentedA
I wish     I was  in sweet Dungloe,
And now all the stars were hidden by rain clouds,
   D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA
and seated   on   the grass
The song of the old man   locked in my brain,
   A augmentedA    E MajorE      D MajorD     E MajorE
And by  my side    a bottle of wine
For all emigration is the curse of the nation
   D MajorD      A augmentedA     F# minorF#m     E MajorE
and on    my knee   a lass.
The setting now fitting his sad sweet refrain.
   A augmentedA        E MajorE            D MajorD    E MajorE
I'd call    for liquor          of the best
spoken:: And above all the roar of the town was the blue sky,
     D MajorD          A augmentedA      F# minorF#m     E MajorE
and I'd pay        before I would go
  I heard the birds singing for    sung::the dawning of the day?
     A augmentedA     E MajorE      D MajorD     A augmentedA
And I'd roll   my Mary     in   my arms
  And there was no help from the city forthcoming,?
    D MajorD    E MajorE       A augmentedA
in the town of sweet   Dungloe.
  No sympathy numbing your going away.
