Rocky Road To Dublin
The Dubliners
Key : Dm
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Dm | C 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Dm             Dm
  While In the merry month of may from me home I started
                       C
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
               Dm
Saluted father dear, kissed my darling mother
                         C
Drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother
                     Dm
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
                           C
Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins;
                 Dm
Bought a pair of brogues for rattling o'er the bogs
                             C
And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin

[Chorus]
---------------------
C                     Dm
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
C                                      Dm
All the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

[Verse 2]
---------------------
   Dm
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
                         C
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
                   Dm
Took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking;
                        C
Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
                      Dm
They hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
                             C
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
               Dm
Asked me was I hired, wages I required
                         C
'till I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin



[Verse 3]
---------------------
   Dm
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it's such a pity
                      C
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
              Dm
Then I took a stroll, all among the quality;
                            C
Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
                     Dm
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
                        C
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
                  Dm
Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
                     C
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin



[Verse 4]
---------------------
     Dm
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
                         C
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
                  Dm
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he;
                        C
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
               Dm
Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs
                             C
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
             Dm
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
                      C
Or better far instead on the rocky road to Dublin



[Verse 5]
---------------------
    Dm
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
                        C
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
               Dm
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing;
                     C
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
                      Dm
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I’ll apply
                          C
Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
                Dm
With a load "hurray!" joined in the affray
                           C
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
