[Verse 1]
From [D]Derry Quay we sailed [G]away [D]on [C]the [G]23rd of May[D]
We were [G]boarded [D]by a pleasant crew
bound [C]for [G]Americay
Fresh water [D]there we did take on,
five thousand gallons [C]or more[D][G]
In [D]case we'd run short going to [G]New York [D]far
[C]away from the Sham[G]rock Shore
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[C][G]
So [D]fare thee well sweet Liza dear
[C]and likewise [G]to Derry [D]town,
An[G]d twice [D]farewell to me comrade boys
who dwell on that sainted [C]ground
If [G]fortune it [D]ever should favour me or I to
have [Dsus4]money in [D]sto[C]re[G]
I'll come [D]back and I'll wed the wee lassie
I left on [C]Paddy's Green [G]Shamrock [D]Shore

[Verse 3]
Well [D]we sailed three days and we were all sea[G]sick,
[D]not a [C]man on [G]board was [D]free
We were [G]all con[D]fined unto our bunks
with no one to pity poor [C]me
No [G]father [D]dear nor mother kind to hold up
me head when [C]t'was sore,[G]
[D]Which made me think more on the lassie [G]I left [D]on Pad[C]dy's Green
[G]Shamrock Shore

[Verse 4]
Well [D]we safely reached the other
side in [C]three [G]and twenty [D]days
We [G]were taken as pas[D]sengers by a man
and led round in six different [C]ways,
[G]We each of us [D]drank a parting glass in case
we might never meet [C]more,[Am]
And we [D]drank a health to Old Ire[G]land [D]an[C]
d Paddy's Green Sham[G]rock [D]Shore

[Verse 5]
So [D]fare thee well sweet Liza dear
and [C]likewise [G]to Derry [D]town
And [G]twice [D]farewell to me comrade boys
who dwell on that sainted [C]ground
If [G]fortune it ever [D]should favour me or I
to have money [C]in store[G]
I'll come [D]back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left [C]on Paddy's Green
[G]Shamrock Shore
