Verse 1: 
   Em       C          G      D/F#
Of all the money that e'er I had
Em      C       G       D/F#
I spent it in good company
    Em       C          G       D/F# 
And all the harm that e'er I've done
 Em      C              G     
Alas it was to none but me
     G   C    G             C  G     
And all I've done for want of wit



    Em    D/F#    G      D   
To mem'ry now I can't recall
   Em       C      G        D
So fill to me the parting glass
Em              C             G    
Good night and joy be to you all

Verse 2:
    Em       C            G     D/F#
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
Em            C      G    D/F#
They're sorry for my going away
Em            C               G    D/F#
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
      Em            C              G      
They would wish me one more day to stay

Verse 3:
      G   C    G         C  G 
But since it falls unto my lot
     Em       D/F#   G              D  
That I should rise and you should not
     Em       C            G        D
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
  Em            C             G      
Good night and joy be to you all

Verse 4:
   Em       C         G       D
A man may drink and not be drunk
   Em       C        G        D
A man may fight and not be slain
  Em        C       G      D
A man may court a pretty girl
       Em        C             G       
And perhaps b? welcomed back again
      G    C  G            C  G   
But since it has as ought to b?
      Em       D/F#      G        D  
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Em        C       G     D
Come fill to me the parting glass
      Em        C               G  D/F#       
Good night and joy be with you all    
      Em        C               G        
Good night and joy be with you all
