Dubliners, Donegal Danny (1967)
^{Key: :[G] (w: Phil Coulter)}

INTRO: [G] [C] [G] [Em] [G] [D] [G]

VERSE 1:
[G] I remember the night that [C] he came [G] in
From the [C] wintery cold and [G] damp
A giant of a man in an [Em] oilskin coat
And the [C] bundle that told he was a [D] tramp

VERSE 2:
He [G] stood at the bar and he [C] called a [G] pint
Then [C] turned and gazed at the [G] fire
On a night like this to be [Em] safe and dry
Is my [C] one and only [D] desire

CHORUS:
So [G] here's to those who are [C] dead and [G] gone
The friends that I loved [D] dear
And [G] here's to you and I'll [C] bid you [G] adieu
Sayin' Donegal [D] Danny's been [G] here me [Em] boys
[G] Donegal [D] Danny's been [G] here

VERSE 3:
[G] Then in a voice that was [C] hushed and [G] low
Said [C] listen I'll tell you a [G] tale
How a man of the sea became a [Em] man of the road
And [C] never more will set [D] sail

VERSE 4:
I [G] fished out of Howth and [C] Killy-[G]-begs
Ard-[C]-glass and Balti-[G]-more
But the cruel sea has [Em] beaten me
And I'll [C] end my days on the [D] shore

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 5:
[G] One fateful night in the [C] wind and the [G] rain
We set [C] sail from Killybegs [G] town
There were five of us from sweet [Em] Donegal
And [C] one from County [D] Down

VERSE 6:
We were [G] fishermen who [C] worked the [G] sea
And [C] never counted the [G] cost
But I never thought when that [Em] night was done
That [C] my fine friends would all be [D] lost

REPEAT CHORUS:
