Raised on songs and stories
      C majorC  G+G
Heroes of reknown
           C majorC  G+G
The passing tales and glories

That once was Dublin town

The hallowed halls and houses

The haunting children's rhymes
   G+G       C majorC
That once was part Dublin
    D MajorD    G+G
In the rare old times

G+G       C majorC G+G E minorEm
Ring a ring a rosie

In the rare old times

  G+G        C majorC  G+G  E minorEm
My name it is Sean Dempsey
          C majorC G+G
As Dublin as could be
           C majorC  G+G
Born hard and late in Pimlico
         C majorC     D MajorD
In a house that's ceased to be
  G+G       C majorC G+G
By trade I was a cooper
   E minorEm       C majorC
Lost out to redundancy
    G+G         C majorC
Like my house that fell to progress
  D MajorD       G+G
My trade's a memory

 G+G       C majorC  G+G  E minorEm
I courted Peggy Diagnam
         C majorC   G+G
As pretty as you please
         C majorC G+G
A augmentedA gentle child of Mary
        C majorC  D MajorD
From the rebel liberties
 G+G       C majorC    G+G
I lost her to a student chap
   E minorEm        C majorC
With skin as black as coal
    G+G        C majorC
When he took her off to Birmingham
  D MajorD      G+G
She took away my soul

G+G       C majorC G+G E minorEm
Ring a ring a rosie
        C majorC
As the light declines
  G+G       C majorC G+G
I remember Dublin City
    D MajorD    G+G
In the rare old times

The years have made me bitter
The gargles dims me brain
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing
And nothing stays the same
The Pillar and the Met have gone
The Royal long since pulled down
As the great and unyielding concrete
Makes a city of my town

G+G       C majorC G+G E minorEm
Ring a ring a rosie
        C majorC
As the light declines
  G+G       C majorC G+G
I remember Dublin City
    D MajorD    G+G
In the rare old times

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
I can no longer stay
And watch the new glass cages
That spring up along the quay
My mind's too full of memories
Too old to hear new chimes
I'm a part of what was Dublim
In the rare old times

G+G       C majorC G+G E minorEm
Ring a ring a rosie
        C majorC
As the light declines
  G+G       C majorC G+G
I remember Dublin City
    D MajorD    G+G
In the rare old times
