I'm a (G)liberty boy that (C)I'll never de(G)ny
And I love the old town I was (D)born in
And (G)I rue the day that I (C)sailed a(G)way
On a grey No(D)vember (C)mor(G)ning
 
Me be(D)loved shed a tear as we (G)stood by the pier
But I (C)told her I (G)had to be (C)go(D)ing
She's my (G)treasure and pearl,
she's my (C)own darling (G)girl
But my wild oats I (D)have to be (C)sow(G)ing -G-G
 
Chorus
I'm (G)sailing home to (C)Dublin's (G)city
To the one that is waiting for (D)me there
(G)Home again to (C)Dublin's (G)city
Oh how I'm (D)longing to (C)be (G)there
 
D-D-C-G
 
I've (G)seen all the sights of this (C)great world’s de(G)lights
And I sailed from Vancouver to (D)Dover
I've (G)hunted the whale and (C)weathered the (G)gale
Now my roving (D)days are all (C)o(G)ver
 
For I (D)miss Moore Street smell and the (G)auld Liffey swell
And the (C)pigeon house (G)lights in the (C)eve(D)ning
And (G)Sandymount strand where we (C)walked hand in (G)hand
And we watched while the (D)mailboat was (C)leav(G)ing -G-G
 
Repeat chorus twice
