A	Dmbrand new pair of	Cbrogues,	Dmrattlin' o'er the	Cbogs

DmLanded on the quay, just	Cas the ship was sailing

The	DmCaptain at me roared,	Dmsaid that no room had he

Dm	C
DmWhen I jumped aboard, a	Ccabin found for Paddy

Dm	C	Dm	C
DmDown among the	Cpigs,	Dmplayed some funny	Crigs

Dm	C
DmDanced some hearty jigs, the	Cwater round me bubbling

Dm	C	Dm	C
DmWhen off Holy	Chead	Dmwished meself was	Cdead

	Dm	C
Or	Dmbetter far instead	Con the rocky road to Dublin

DmPoor old Erin's isle	Cthey began abusing

	Dm	C	Dm	C
"Hur	Dmrah me soul!" says	CI, me	Dmshillelagh I let	Cfly

	Dm	C
Some	DmGalway boys were nigh and	Csaw I was a hobblin'

DmWith a loud "Hur	Cray!"	Dmjoined in the af	Cfray

	Dm	C
We	Dmquickly cleared the way	Cfor the rocky road to Dublin
