[Verse 1]

G                                          C
The last time I saw you it was down at The Greek
G                                            Em
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
G                                      C
You sang me a song just as pure as the breeze
G                   Em     A   D
On the road leading up Glenveagh

[Verse 2]

G                        C
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
C     G                                                Em
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
G             Em                   C              G
Heard the men coming home from the fair in Shinrone
G                Em           G
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they roam

[Chorus]

G                                D
Take my hand, and dry your tears Shane
G             C      G          D
Take my hand, forget your fears Shane
G          Em                    C    G
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
G           Bm   Am          D      G
They're all gone, gone in the years Shane

[Verse 3]

G                                 C  G
I sat for a while by a gap in the wall
G                                     Em
On a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball
G                                           C    G
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
G                    D
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun Na Ngall

[Verse 4]

G                                    C                G
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
G                                           Em
There'll be whiskey on Sunday, tears on our cheeks
G                                           C
But its stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
G       Em                G
About a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball


[Chorus]

C    G                            D
Take my hand, and dry your tears Shane
G             C      G          D
Take my hand, forget your fears Shane
Em                               C  G
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
Bm                Am          D      G
They're all gone, gone in the years Shane

[Outro]

D    G                    D
So I walked as day was dawning
D                 G    C                   G   D
Where small birds sang and the leaves were falling
D        G         Em               C   G
Where we once watched the row boats landing
Bm          Am        D   G
By the broad majestic Shannon

G                         C            G
Where we once watched the row boats landing
Bm          Am        D   G
By the broad majestic Shannon
