G+G E minorEm
Of all the money that e'er I had
C majorC D MajorD
I've spent it in good company
G+G E minorEm
And all the harm I've ever done
C majorC D MajorD G+G
A-las it was to none but me
G+G E minorEm
And all I've done for want of wit
C majorC D MajorD
To memory now I can't recall
G+G E minorEm
So fill to me the parting glass
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Good night and joy be with you all
G+G E minorEm
Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
C majorC D MajorD
They're sorry for my going away
G+G E minorEm
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
C majorC D MajorD G+G
They'd wish me one more day to stay
G+G E minorEm
But since it falls unto my lot
C majorC D MajorD
That I should rise and you should not
G+G E minorEm
I'll gently rise and softly call
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Good night and joy be with you all
G+G E minorEm
If I had money enough to spend
C majorC D MajorD
And leisure to sit awhile
G+G E minorEm
There is a fair maid in the town
C majorC D MajorD G+G
That sorely has my heart beguiled
G+G E minorEm
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
C majorC D MajorD
I own she has my heart enthralled
G+G E minorEm
So fill to me the parting glass
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Good night and joy be with you all
optional chorus between verses
G+G E minorEm
So fill to me the parting glass
C majorC D MajorD
And drink a health what e'er befalls
G+G E minorEm
I'll gently rise and softly call
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Good night and joy be with you all
