The Parting Glass - as perfomed by The Pogues

[Verse 1]

Dm                           C
Of all the money that e'er I spent
     Dm                  C
I've spent it in good company
    Dm                       C
And all the harm that ever I did
 Dm     C      Dm
Alas it was to none but me
    F
And all I've done for want of wit
   Gm         F
To memory now I can't recall
   Dm                     C
So fill to me the parting glass
     Dm        C      Dm
Good night and joy be with you all


[Verse 2]

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all


[Verse 3]

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

***Version 2*** by Alex


[Verse 1]

Dm                     F     C
Of all the money that e'er I spent
     Dm                  C
I've spent it in good company
    Dm                 F     C
And all the harm that ever I did
 Dm     C      Dm
Alas it was to none but me
    F
And all I've done for want of wit
   Gm         F          C
To memory now I can't recall
   Dm                F     C
So fill to me the parting glass
     Dm        C      Dm
Good night and joy be with you all


[Verse 2]

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all


[Verse 3]

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
