[G] [C] Ring-a-ring-a -rosie, [Am] [C] as the light [F] declines, [C] I'll remember Dublin [F] City [C] in [G] the red.
[C] [G]
[C] Raised on songs [F] and [C]
stories, heroes of [Am] renown, [C] The passing tales and glories [G] that once was Dublin Town.
[C] The hallowed halls [F] and [C] houses, the haunting [Am] children's rhymes, [C] That once was [F] Dublin City [C]
[G] in the rare [C] old times.
Ring-a-ring [F]-a [C]-rosie, [Am] [C] as the light [F] declines, [C] I'll remember Dublin [F] City [C]

My name it is, Shondam Seat, as Dublin [Am] as could be, [C] Born hard and late [F] in [C] Pimlico, [G] in a house [F] that [Em] ceased to [G] be.
[C] By trade I was a cooper, lost out to
[Am] redundancy, Like [C] my house that fell [F] to [C] progress, [G] my trades a [C] memory.
And I courted [F] Peggy [C] Dignan, as pretty as [Am] you please, A rogue and a child [F] of Mary, [C] from [G] the rebel [F] [Em] Liberties.

[G] [C]
The years have [F] made me [C] bitter, the gargle [Am] dims me brain, [C] Cos Dublin keeps [F] on [C] changing, [G] and nothing [Em] seems the [G] same.
[C] The pillars [F] of the Met [C] have gone, the Royal Long since [Am] pulled down, [C] As the grey [F] unyielding [C] concrete [G] makes the city [C] of my town.
Ring-a [F]-ring-a [C] [Am]-rosie, [C] as the light [F] declines, [C] I'll remember Dublin [F] City [C] [G] in the rare [C] old times.
Fare thee well, sweet Anna Liffey, I can no [Am] longer stay, [C] And watch the new [F] glass [C] cages [G] that spring up along [Em] decay.
[G]
[C] My mind's too full [F] of [C] memories, too old to hear [Am] new chimes, I'm a part of what [F] was Dublin [C] in [G] the rare [C] old times.
