Dublin In The Rare Old Times  (The Rare Old Times) chords
Pete St. John (as performed by the Dubliners)

G                   C   G   EmRaised on songs and stories
            C    GHeroes of reknown
                      C   G   The passing tales and glories
              C      DThat once was Dublin town
    G                  C   G  The hallowed halls and houses
    Em                  C     The haunting children's rhymes
     G             C    That once was part Dublin 
       D        GIn the rare old times

G             C  G  EmRing a ring a rosie
               C     As the light declines
    G             C GI remember Dublin City
       D        GIn the rare old times

   G               C   G   EmMy name it is Sean Dempsey
                   C  GAs Dublin as could be
                      C    GBorn hard and late in Pimlico
                  C         DIn a house that's ceased to be
   G             C  GBy trade I was a cooper
     Em             CLost out to redundancy
        G                  CLike my house that fell to progress
   D             GMy trade's a memory

  G             C   G   EmI courted Peggy Diagnam
                 C     GAs pretty as you please
                  C GA gentle child of Mary
               C    DFrom the rebel liberties
  G             C       GI lost her to a student chap
     Em               CWith skin as black as coal
        G               CWhen he took her off to Birmingham
    D            GShe took away my soul

G             C  G  EmRing a ring a rosie
               C     As the light declines
    G             C GI remember Dublin City
       D        GIn the rare old times

The years have made me bitter
The gargles dims me brain
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing
And nothing stays the same
The Pillar and the Met have gone
The Royal long since pulled down
As the great and unyielding concrete
Makes a city of my town

G             C  G  EmRing a ring a rosie
               C     As the light declines
    G             C GI remember Dublin City
       D        GIn the rare old times

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
I can no longer stay
And watch the new glass cages
That spring up along the quay
My mind's too full of memories
Too old to hear new chimes
I'm a part of what was Dublim
In the rare old times

G             C  G  EmRing a ring a rosie
               C     As the light declines
    G             C GI remember Dublin City
       D        GIn the rare old times
