CAPO 2
[Intro]
C G Am C G C
[Verse 1
C F C F
I remember the night that he came in from the wintery cold and
C
damp.
Am F
A giant of a man in an oilskin coat and the bundle that told he
G
was a tramp.
C F C F
He stood at the bar and he called a pint then turned and gazed at
C
the fire.
Am F G
On a night like this to be safe and dry is my one and only desire.
Chorus
C F C
So here's to those who are dead and gone.
G
The friends that I loved dear.
C F C
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu.
G C Am C G
Sayin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys Donegal Danny's been
C
here.
[Verse 2]
C F C F
Then in a voice that was hushed and low said listen I'll tell you
C
a tale.
Am F
How a man of the sea became a man of the road and never more will
G
set sail.
C F C F C
I fished out at Howth and Killybegs Ardglass and Baltimore.
Am F G
But the cruel sea has beaten me and I'll end my days on the shore.
[Chorus]
C F C
So here's to those who are dead and gone.
G
The friends that I loved dear.
C F C
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu.
G C Am C G
Sayin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys Donegal Danny's been
C
here.
[Verse 3]
C F C F
One fateful night in the wind and the rain we set sail from
C
Killybegs town.
Am F G
There was five of us from sweet Donegal and one from County Down.
C F C F C
We were fishermen who worked the sea and never counted the cost
Am F
But I never thought ere' that night was done that my fine friends
G
would all be lost.
[Chorus]
C F C
So here's to those who are dead and gone.
G
The friends that I loved dear.
C F C
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu.
G C Am C G
Sayin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys Donegal Danny's been
C
here.
[Verse 4]
C F C F
Then the storm it broke and drove the boat on the rocks about ten
C
miles from shore.
Am F G
As we fought the tide we hoped inside to see our homes once more.
C F C F
Then we struck a rock and holed the bow and all of us knew she'd
C
go down.
Am F
So we jumped right in to the icy sea and prayed to god we wouldn't
G
drown.
C F C F C
But the raging sea was rising still as we struck out for the land
Am F G
and she fought with all her cruelty to claim that gallant band
C F C F
By St. Johns point in the early dawn I dragged myself on the
C
shore.
Am F
And I cursed the sea for what she'd done vowed to sail her never
G
more.
[Chorus]
C F C
So here's to those who are dead and gone.
G
The friends that I loved dear.
C F C
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu.
G C Am C G
Sayin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys Donegal Danny's been
C
here.
[Verse 5]
C F C F
Ever since that night I've been on the road travelling and trying
C
to forget.
Am F G
That awful night I lost all me friends I see their faces yet.
C F C F
And often at night when the sea is high and the rain is tearing at
C
my skin.
Am F G
I can hear the cries of drowning men floating over on the wind.
[Chorus] x2
C F C
So here's to those who are dead and gone.
G
The friends that I loved dear.
C F C
And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu.
G C Am C G
Sayin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys Donegal Danny's been
C
here.
