[Verse 1]
I [D]am a rambling [G]Ir [D]ishman
In Ulster [G]I was b[D]orn
And many's the happy hours I spent
On the banks [G]of sweet [D]Lough Erne
But to live [G]poor [D]I could not end[A]ure
[D]As others of my [A]station
[D]To America I s[G]ail[D]ed away
[G]And left this Irish n[D]ation

[Verse 2]
Ry tan tin- [D]a- na, [G]tan [D]tin- a- na
Ry tan tin- [G]a- noora n

[Verse 3]
[D]The night before I went away
I spent it [G]with my [D]darling
From three o'clock in the afternoon
Till the break of [G]day next [D]morning
But when that we were going to part
We lay in each others' arms
You may be [G]sure [D]and very sure

[Interlude 2]
It wounded both our charms
[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
The very first night [G]I slept [D]on board
I dreamt [G]about my [D]Nancy
I dreamt I held her in my arms
And well she [G]pleased my [D]fancy
But when I woke [G]out [D]of my [A]dream
[D]I found that my bed was empty
You may be sure and very sure

[Interlude 3]
That I lay discontented
[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
When [D]we arrived at the other [A]side
[D]We were both sto[G]ut and hea[D]lthy
We dropped our anchor in the bay
Going down to [G]Philadelphia
[D]For to live poo[G]r I could not[D] endur[A]e
[D]Like others [G]of my [D]sta[A]tion[D]
To America [G]I s[D]ailed a[A]way[D]
And left this Irish [G]nation
