   G                              Em
As I was a-walking through Dublin City

About the hour o' twelve at night

It was there I saw a fair pretty lady

Washing her feet by candlelight
[Verse]
G                                  Em
First she washed them and then she dried them

 G                                C
Around her shoulder, she pegged a towel

              G                Em D
And in all my life I ne'er did see

       Em                 C       Em     D  Em D
Such a fine young lass in all the world

'Round and around, the wheel of fortune

G                      C
Where it stops wearies me

                 G       Em  D
Fair maids they are so deceivin'

Em             C       Em   D  Em D
Sad experience teaches me

        G                                   Em
Oh, the tides do be runnin' the whole world over

          G                     C
Why, twas only last June month, I mind that we

     G                        Em            D
Were thinking the call in the breast of the lover

Em     C              Em    D  Em D
So everlasting as the sea
[Chorus]

[Verse]
                G                                Em
But there's the same little fishes that swim and spin

        G                             C
And the same old moon on the cold wet sand

                 G        Em     D
And I no more to she, nor she to me

         Em        C       Em   D  Em     D
Than the cool wind passing over my hand
[Chorus]

Twenty, eighteen, sixteen, fourteen

G                                   C
Twelve, ten, eight, six, four, two, none
