[Am][F#dim][D]
[G]Last

[Verse 1]
[Am]night as I lay [G]dreaming
Of pleasant [Em]days gone [Am]by
My mind being bent on rambling
To [C]Ireland I did [G]fly
[Am]I stepped on board a vision
And [C]followed with [G]the wind
Till [Am]next I came to [G]anchor at
the cross [Em]near [Am]Spancill Hill

[Verse 2]
It was [Am]on th[G]e 23rd June
The day be[Em]fore the [Am]fair
When Ireland's sons and daughters
And [C]friends [G]assembled there

[Verse 3]
The [Am]young ,the old, the brave,
the bold [C]came their duty to [G]fill
At the [Am]parish church [G]at Cluney
Just a mile [Em]from [Am]Spanc[G]ill Hill[Am][D]
[G][Am]

[Verse 4]
I [Am]went to see my [D]neigh[G]bours
To hear what they might [D]say[Am]
The old ones were all dead
and gone
The young one's [D]turning [G]grey
[Am]I met the tailor Quigley
He's [C]bold as ever [G]still
Sure he [Am]used to mend my [G]britches
When I lived [Em]at Sp[Am]ancill Hill

[Verse 5]
[Am]I paid a flying [G]visit
To my first and [Em]only [Am]love
She's fair as any lily
And [C]gentle as [G]a dove
She [Am]threw her arms around me saying
[C]"Johnny I love [D]you [G]still”
She was [Am]Meg the farmers [G]daughter
And the pride [Em]of S[Am]pancill Hill
She was Meg the farmers [G]daughter
And the pride [Em]of S[Am]panci[G]ll Hill
