[Em] In the merry month of May, a from my home, a starly left the girls [D] a tomb, nearly [Em] broken,
had a saluted father dear, kiss me darlin' mother, drink a [D] pint of beer, grief and [Em] tears
a smotherin' of the reef, the corn, leave for I was born, cut [D] stuff, a turn to find
this ghost, a cuddly friend, you bear a [Em] frog, rattle the door to bark, [D] frighten all the
dogs, on the [F#] rocky road, to Dublin, one, two, [E] three, four, five, cut the [A] hair and turn
her down the rocky [D] road, haul away the Dublin wax for [E] all the odd.

[E] In the regard of my leadership, the sobering stand, the plight [D] of life, one right and nearly
took, there's nothing [E] to cure, tell me I won't take him out, that's bloody [D] sure,
carry on, [Bm] for to get the deed, a Nazi's mouth, knocking down the [Em] wall, and [D] pick out a [B] knot,
sit your head on top [Em] of the quay, a [D] barbed quay, [Em] and [D] face the higher [E] square, I was [D] nearly
tired [E] of the rocky road, to Dublin, one, two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her
down the rocky road, [D] haul away the Dublin wax for [E] all the odd.

In the moment I arrived, the odds were definitely to be, so soon [D] the fright, I knew of that
fact, and he decided to take [E] me out, I'm the most equality one, then it [D] stopped, in the
deep, [Bm] the gallows, the soft, the ghost, the night, and I looked behind, no one was really
fine, [B] one sick, one little [Em] choir, [D] and after the rots, said, me can't draw, who wants

Well, I went up on the way, to the reserve of Ailey, landed on the [D] quay, as the ship
of Ailey, casting at me [E] wrought, sitting around the quay, and then I jumped [D] aboard, crew
myself up, [Em] I leaned down, and [D] watched the [Em] big, [D] submerged, you [Em] dig, [D] submerged, [B] you dig,
walked around, and pulled [Em] it off, [D] all he had, [Em] is [D] the name [E] of Stelvio, but the [D] rots, sit
on [E] the rocky road, to Dublin, one, two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her down
