The Dubliners – Dicey Reilly (Guitar)

C                                 G        C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup

    G                             C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up

 C
For it's off each morning to the pub

     G
And then she's in for another little drop

        C                          G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

   C                                       G          C
Oh she walks along Fitzgibbon street with an independent air

     G                                C
And then it's down be Summerhill and as the people stare

     C                                                   G
She says it's nearly half past one, and it's time I had another little one

        C                         G7  C
Ah the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

C                                  G        C

And then she's in for another little drop

        C                          G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

 C                                    G           C
Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong

   G                                C
Or lovely Beckie Cooper or Maggie's Mary Wong

    C                                                 G
One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name

        C                          G7 C
And the name of the dame was Dicey Reilly

C                                 G        C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup

    G                             C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up

 C
For it's off each morning to the pub

     G
And then she's in for another little drop

        C                          G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

C                                        G            C
Oh but time went catching up on her like many pretty whores

      G                                    C
And it's after you along the street before you're out the door

     C                                                          G
The looks all fade and the balance weighed, but out of all that great brigade

          C                          G7 C
Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

C                                  G        C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup

    G                             C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up

 C
For it's off each morning to the pub

     G
And then she's in for another little drop

For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

C                                 G        C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup

    G                             C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up

 C
For it's off each morning to the pub

     G
And then she's in for another little drop

        C                          G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
