[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Dear [G]Danny,
I'm taking the [C]pen in me [G]hand
To [C]tell you we're [G]just
out of [A]sight of the [D]land
In a [G]big anchor liner we're [C]sailing in style
[G]And we're sai[C]ling away
[G]from the Eme[D]rald Isl[G]e
Oh, [B]strange sort of sigh
seems to [Em]come from us all
As the [A]waves hit the last
bit [D]of old Donegal
Sure, [G]it's good to be you
that [C]has taken your [G]tay
Where they're [C]cutting the [G]corn
around
[D]Crisla the [G]day
Sure I spoke to the captain
and he [C]won't turn [G]around
And [C]if I swum [G]back I'd
be [A]up to [D]be drowned
So I'll [G]stay where I am,
for the [C]diet is [G]great
And there's [C]lots of com[G]bustibles
[D]piled on [G]me plate
[B]Although it is sumptuous,
[Em]sure I'd swap the whole lot
For the [A]owl wooden spoon
and [D]the stirrabout pot
Oh, and [G]Kitty fernenced me
[C]a -wettin' the t[G]ay
Where they're [C]cuttin' the [G]corn around
[D]Creasela the [G]day[C][G][D][G]
There's a woman on board
That knows [C]Kitty by [G]sight
And we [C]talked of old [G]times
Till they [A]put out the [D]lights
I'm [G]to meet the good woman
tomor[C]row on [G]deck
And we'll [C]talk about [G]Katie
from [D]here to Que[G]bec
Sure I [B]know I'm no match for her,
[Em]no, not the least
With her [A]house, and two cows,
and her [D]brother a priest
But the [G]woman declares
Kitty's [C]heart's on the [G]sea
While [C]mine's with the [G]reapers
round
[D]Chrysler the [G]day
[Eb]Ah, goodbye to y[Ab]ou, Danny,
there's [Db]no more to be [Ab]said
For I [Db]think the salt [Ab]waters got [Bb]into me [Eb]head
And it [Ab]drips from the eyes
when I [Db]call to me [Ab]mind
The [Db]friends and the [Ab]colleagues
I'm [Bbm]leaving [Ebsus4]behind[Ab]
And sure [C]Kitty herself,
when [Fm]she bade me goodbye
Had [Bb]just the slight trace
of a [Eb]tear in her eye
And a [Ab]break in her voice
when [Db]she said you might stay
[Ab]But please God,[Db]
I'll come [Ab]back to Al [Ebsus4]-Qrisla som[Eb]eday you[Ab]
