[VERSE]
When I [G]play on my fiddle in [A]Dooney
Folk [G]dance like a wave on the sea
My cousin is priest in Kil[A]varnet
My [G]brother in Moharabui[A]ee

[VERSE]
Oh, I passed my [G]brother and [Am]cousin
They read in their [G]books of [Am]prayer
Ah, but [C]I, I [G]read in my [C]book of [Em]songs
Which I [Am]bought at the [E]Sligo [Am]fair [A]

[VERSE]
When we [G]come to the end of our [A]time
To Saint [G]Peter, all sitting in state
He will smile on the three old [A]spirits
But [G]pass me first through the [A]gate

[VERSE]
For the good are [G]always the [Am]merry
Save by an [G]evil [Am]chance
And the [C]merry [G]love the [C]fiddle, [Em]aye
And the [Am]merry [E]love to [Am]dance [A]

[VERSE]
Oh, [G]when all the folk up there [A]spy me
They will [G]all come and gather round me
Saying, "Here is the fiddler of [A]Dooney!"
They'll [G]dance like a wave on the [A]sea
