[G]
[A]
[Bm] All my name is William [D] McDonnell I [G] have come across the sea
[Bm] I [G] am no handsome man [D] of wealth [G] Nor do I plan to [D] be
[G] But I'm a treasure fit for kings Beggars all the [Am] same
[A] She [G]
comes with me where'er I go Sometimes she calls my [Bm] name
My [A] [D] father was [Bm] his life away [G] Diggin' for coal
[D] To [G] the central lands [Bm] every day [G] With shovel he would [Am]
go
And [G] he left for me [Bm] the only thing [G] He felt he had [D] was mine
[A] It [D] is [G] my pride and joy that's yours now, boys [Bm] Read the note he left [A] behind
[D] No apple falls far from the tree [G] Now I pass this fiddle [D] down to thee
[G] Hold it [D] near your heart and soul [Em] Let your [A] passions guide your goal
And [G]
when the music [D] sweet does play [G] Oh no I'll be not far [Bm] away
[C] Though my body lies [G] down with [C] the cold [Em] My spirit lies for you to [A] hold
[G] [D]

[D] [A]
[Bm] On my back I [G] set out to see new [Bm] lands [D] I [G] have lived a wild and [Bm] roving life
[G] Played to meek and [A] grand [D] And [G] to all I played with [Bm] all I had
[G] And I could not help but [A]
weep [G] When I draw the bow across the string
Somehow I'd set him [Bm] free

[G] And when the music [D] sweet does play [G] Oh no I'll be [Bm] not far away
