[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing, Oh, the [G] ring of the [F] Piper's tune,
Oh, for one of those hours of gladness Gone alas, like [C] our youth, [F] too soon.
_ [C] When the boys began to gather In the glen of [D] a summer night,
And the Kerry [Eb]
Piper's [C] tuning Made us [G] long with wild _ [C] delight,
Oh, to think of it, [Am] Oh, to dream of [Dm] it,
Fills [Cm] my heart [C] with tears. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing, Oh, the [G] ring of the Piper's [F] tune,
Oh, for one [Bb] of those hours [F] of gladness _ Gone alas, like [C] our youth, too soon. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Was there ever a sweeter colony [Dm] In the [G] dance than [C] Eilemore?
[F] Or a [Bb] prouder lad [F] than Tadie As he [C] boldly took the [F] floor? _
Lads and lassies, to your places, Up the middle and [G] down again,
[C] _ Ah, the [F] merry-hearted laughter, [C]
Bring it through [G] the _ [C] happy glen,
[G] Oh, to think of it, Oh, to dream of it,
[D] Fills my [C]
heart with tears. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing, Oh, the ring [G] of the Piper's tune,
[F] Oh, for one [Dm] of those hours of [F] gladness Gone _ _ alas, [C] like our youth, too [F] soon.
_ _ [Fm] _ Time _ _ [C] _
[Fm] goes on, [Bbm] and the happy years [C] are _ dead, [Fm] And one [C] _ by [Fm] one the [C] merry [F] hearts [C] are bled. _
_ [Fm] _ Silent _ [Db] now _ is the [Ab] wild and [Bb] lonely _ [Eb]
glen, [Ab] Where the bright glad [Cm]
laugh _ [G] will echo ne'er [Cm] again.
_ _ [Bbm] _ Only dreaming [C] of days gone by, [F]
In my heart [C] I hear _
_ _ [F] _ Loving voices of old _ companions [Dm] _ Stealing out of the [G] past once [C] more,
[F] And the sound of the old music Soft [Gb] and sweet [C] as in _ days of [F] yore.
_ _ When the boys began to gather In the glen of a summer night,
And the Kerry Piper's tune [C] Made us long [G] with wild _ delight,
[Gm] Oh, to think of it, [C] _
Oh, to dream of it,
[G] Fills [C] my heart with tears. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing, Oh, the ring [G] of the Piper's tune,
[F] Oh, for one [Bb] of those hours of [F]
gladness Gone _ [C] _ alas, like our [G] youth, _ too _ _ _ [F] soon. _ _ _ _ _
