G                                                          D
Now the ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic

D                                                        G
Me friends are standing on the quay in grief and sorrow frantic

G                                                  D
I'm just about to sail away on the good ship Dan O'Leary (next line is faster)

D                                                         G
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary.
[Chorus]
G                                                    D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary

D                                                              G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary

G                                                 D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say

D                                                        G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
[Verse 2]
G                                               D
In my old kitbag here I have cabbage, spuds and bacon

D                                            G
Isn't that the finest fare and is your belly aching?

G                                                         D
If the ship its starts to pitch and toss, I'll leave very quickly

D                                                        G
I'll pack me bundle on me back and I'll walk to New York City.
[Chorus]
G                                                    D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary

D                                                              G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary

G                                                 D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say

D                                                        G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
[Verse 3]
G                                                         D
Those Yankee girls will sure love me, of course I'm speculatin'

D                                                                 G
I'll oil them well with liquor boys, and they'll love the way I'm treatin'

G                                                        D
I'm as deep in love with Molly Burke as an ass is fond of clover

D                                                           G
When I get there I'll send for her, that's if she will come over.
[Chorus]
G                                                    D
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary

D                                                              G
For the anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary

G                                                 D
And now the steam is rising up, I have no more to say

D                                                        G
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away.
