[Intro]
---------------------
Gm | F 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C Gm     Gm             F                    C         Gm
    Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
                                 F             C
My mind been bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly
  Gm                              F               C
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with a will
      Gm              F                      C       Gm
And I shortly came to anchor at the cross in Spancil Hill

[Verse 2]
---------------------
  Gm             F                  C      Gm
Delighted by the novelty, enchanted by the scene.
                             F           C
Where in me early boyhood so often I had been.
  Gm                             F               C
I thought I heard a murmur and I think I hear it still.
         Gm               F                    C       Gm
It's the little stream of water but flows down Spancil Hill.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
    Gm             F                  C      Gm
To amuse a passing fancy, I laid down on the ground.
                                   F                C
And all my school companions, they shortly gathered round.
     Gm                         F                       C
When we were home returning, we danced with bright good will
   Gm               F                      C       Gm
To Martin Monahan's music, at the cross at Spancil Hill.

[Verse 4]
---------------------
        Gm           F                      C         Gm
It been on the twentythird of June the day before the fair
                                     F                 C
When Irelands sons and daughters and friends assembled there
    Gm                                       F                  C
The young, the old, the brave, the bold, the came their duty to fulfill
       Gm               F                    C       Gm
At the parish church in Clooney, a mile from Spancil Hill

[Verse 5]
---------------------
  Gm             F                      C          Gm
I went to see me neighbours to see what they might say
                                         F                  C
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning grey
  Gm                              F            C
I met the tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still
       Gm              F                        C       Gm
Ah, he used to make me britches when I lived at Spancil Hill

[Verse 6]
---------------------
  Gm            F                     C    Gm
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
                               F           C
She's as white as any lily and gentle as a dove
    Gm                               F                 C
She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still
          Gm             F                      C      Gm
Ah, she's now a farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill

[Verse 7]
---------------------
  Gm                 F                    C       Gm
I dreamt I knelt and kissed her as in the days of yore
                                 F               C
Ah, Johnny you're only joking as many the time before
         Gm                              F                  C
Then the cock he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill
       Gm          F                       C       Gm
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill
