Christy Moore – The Mad Lady And Me (Guitar)

 Em
among the walls and ruins

 C
 of the horrid civic stone

 B7
 I walked without a lover

  C     B7     Em
 for my older bones

 Em
The sun was strong in going down

  C
It was a dreamlike day

  B7
It's there I met the Trinity

     C      B7        Em
and there I heard them say

 G         D
Bye bye mamma

 C                 Em
Goodbye brother John

 G                 D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells

 C       Em
Ring on ring on

 Em
She leaned and leaned much closer

 C
And she hugged us all goodbye

 B7
Her mother cried "don't go my love"

  C       B7           Em
We all mus by and by

 Em
a drunken tongue said "leave her off"

 C
she'll drive us all crazy

 B7
she turned around and saw my face

 C           B7      Em
and both of us was she

 G         D
Bye bye mamma

 C                 Em
Goodbye brother John

 G                 D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells

 C       Em
Ring on ring on

 Em
up and to the limestone wall

 C
and down the level steps

 B7
she threw herself into the stream

 C            B7          Em
with a splash and no regrets

 Em
side stroke swimming midstream

 C
throwing kisses to the crowd

 B7
and everything was silent

 C              B7        Em
and the sky had not one cloud

 G         D
Bye bye mamma

 C                 Em
Goodbye brother John

 G                 D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells

 C       Em
Ring on ring on

 G                            D
we were swimming out in the sunset,

 C                    Em
we were swimming out to sea,

 G                    D
swimming down by the Opera House

 C            Em
The Mad Lady and me.

 G         D
Bye bye mamma

 C                 Em
Goodbye brother John

 G                 D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells

 C       Em
Ring on ring on
