LONG BLACK VEIL (D)
TEN YEARS AGO ON A COLD DARK NIGHT
(A) (G) (D)
THERE WAS SOMEONE KILLED ‘NEATH THE TOWN HALL LIGHT
THERE WERE FEW AT THE SCENE, BUT THEY ALL AGREE
(A) (G) (D)
THAT THE SLAYER WHO RAN LOOKED A LOT LIKE ME
THE JUDGE SAID SON WHAT IS YOUR ALIBI
(A) (G) (D)
IF YOU WERE SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN YOU WON’T HAVE TO DIE
I SPOKE NOT A WORD THOUGH IT MEANT MY LIFE
(A) (G) (D)
FOR I HAD BEEN IN THE ARMS OF MY BEST FRIEND’S WIFE
(G) (D)
SHE WALKS THESE HILLS
(G) (D)
IN A LONG BLACK VEIL
(G) (D)
SHE VISITS MY GRAVE
(G) (D)
WHEN THE NIGHT WINDS WAIL
(G) (D)
NOBODY KNOWS, NOBODY SEES,
(G) (A) (D)
NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME
(D)
THE SCAFFOLD WAS HIGH AND ETERNITY NEAR
(A) (G) (D)
SHE STOOD IN THE CROWD AND SHED NOT A TEAR
(D)
BUT SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE COLD WIND BLOWS
(A) (G) (D)
IN A LONG BLACK VEIL SHE CRIES O’ER MY BONES
(G) (D)
SHE WALKS THESE HILLS
(G) (D)
IN A LONG BLACK VEIL
(G) (D)
SHE VISITS MY GRAVE
(G) (D)
WHEN THE NIGHT WINDS WAIL
(G) (D)
NOBODY KNOWS, NOBODY SEES,
(G) (A) (D)
NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME
(G) (A) (D)
NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME

Oh Danny Boy
C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
C Am D7 G
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
C Am Dm G C
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
G Am G/B C F C
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
G Am G/B Am F C D G
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
C C/E F C Em/B Am Fm
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
C Dm G C
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so
C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm
But if he come and all the roses dying
C G/B Am Am/G D/F# G
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
C Am F G C
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
G Am G/B C F C
And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me
G Am B/G Am Am/G F C/E D/F# G
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
C C/E F C Em/B Am G#
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
C Am Dm G C
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
C Am F G C (Oh Danny boy I love) you so

CHORUS

Well the storm in its fury broke today, Dashing hopes that you've cherished so dear.
Clouds and storm will in time pass away. The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Break -- Mandolins with Flute High Harmony
CHORUS
So let's greet with a song of hope each day,
Though the weather be cloudy or fair. And lets trust in our savior always to keep us every one in his care.
CHORUS
CHORUS STARTS SOFT THEN LOUDER TO END

GOODNIGHT IRENE - by Huddie Ledbetter
(Chorus) G D7
(Well), Irene, good night, D G
Irene, good night, G G7 C Am
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene, D7 G
I'll see you in my dreams.
Last Saturday night, I got married. Me and my wife settled down.
Now me and my wife are parted, I'm gonna take another stroll downtown.
(Chorus)
Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town, Sometimes I take a great notion, To jump into the river and drown.
(Chorus)
You caused me to weep, she caused me to fall,
Caused me to leave my home. But the very last words I heard her say, were
"Please sing me one more song."
(Chorus)
Stop rambling, stop your gambling, Stop staying out late at night.
Go home to your wives and your families, Stay there by your fireside light.
(Chorus)
(Chorus) Softer

Inishere
V.1
Inishere, on Inishere I had never known a fear
Nor sorrow nor a sigh to mar my laughter
Until that saddest day when my true love sailed away
And the sun grew dim, and darkness followed after.
Chorus
Inishere, on Inishere, I shall wait you here
My radiant web of dreams through gray hours weaving
Until the red gold won, and all your wandering done
You take me to your heart and end my grieving.
V.2
Why did you go, when the primrose glanced above
The scanty grass bleached with wind salt-bitter?
Here by a cabin fire, each with our heart’s desire
Had not the tranquil calm for us been better?
Chorus
Inishere, on Inishere, I shall wait you here
My radiant web of dreams through gray hours weaving
Until the red gold won, and all your wandering done
You take me to your heart and end my grieving.
V.3
Some day kept in store, you will return, a-stor
Your curragh down over foaming current speeding
From the welcome of your clan, on the rocks of Inishmaan
To heal my wound of longing, ever bleeding.
Chorus
Break - verse break whole song, verse second solo
Chorus
Chorus (twice) out ....
.... Until the red gold won, and all your wandering done
rit
You take me to your heart and end my grieving.
