G D A D
{verse]
A D D7 G
From Dublin streets and roads - and down the years
D A7
Came great musicians and balladeers
D D7 G
There was a special one - a red haired minstrel boy
D A A7 D
And when he passed away, a city mourned - it's favorite son
[Chorus]
A G
All round the markets and down the quays
D A A7
The sad news spread to the Liberties
D D7 G
The minstrel boy is gone - he'll sing no more,
D A A7 D
And Luke somehow we know - we'll never see - your like again.
[Verse]
D G
He liked to laugh and sing, and he loved his jar
D A
His songs rang out in every city bar
D G
As I walked by the old canal near where he used to live
D A A7 D
Down Raglan Road I'm sad as he'd so much - still left to give
[Chorus]
A D G
All round the markets and down the quays
D A A7
The sad news spread to the Liberties
D D7 G
The minstrel boy is gone - he'll sing no more,
D A A7 D
And Luke somehow we know - we'll never see - your like again.
[Verse]
A D G
Now the show is over, and the curtain's down
D A
A flame no longer burns in Dublin Town
D G
But while the Liffy flows beneath the Ha'penny bridge
D A A7 D
You'll be remembered Luke for all your songs - and all you did
[Chorus]
A D G
All round the markets and down the quays
D A A7
The sad news spread to the Liberties
D G
The minstrel boy is gone,he'll sing no more,
D A A7 D
And Luke somehow we know - we'll never see - your like again.
G D A A7 D G D
And Luke somehow we know - we'll never see - your like again.
