    D                                         
The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks
                                G                  
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
    D                                         
You sang me a song that was pure as the breeze
G                      D          A
Blowing up the road to Glenaveigh ■
D           A            G              
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
            D                          G                    
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
D                                                  
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
      G                   A               
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go


[Chorus]
     D                    G     A   
Take my hand and dry your tears babe
        D                G     A   
Take my hand forget your fears babe
           D                    G      A
There's no pain there's no more sorrow ■
            D    G             A     D    Bm7 D
They're all gone ■ gone in the years babe ■   ■


[Verse]
A   D                      G              
■ I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
        D                    G              
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
          D                         G            
Heard the cards being dealt and the rosary called
      D                          A    
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
        D                            G                 
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
            D                     G            Bm7   
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
    D                             G              
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
        D                    A              
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

[Chorus]
     D                     G     A   
Take my hands and dry your tears babe
        D                 G     A   
Take my hands forget your fears babe
           D                    G      A
There's no pain there's no more sorrow ■
            D    G             A     D   
They're all gone ■ gone in the years babe
                       G      
So I walked as day was dawning
A                 D                    G      
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
A             D                     G       A
Where we once watched the row boats landing ■
       D     G        A      
By the broad majestic Shannon
