G                   C   G   Em
Raised on songs and stories
            C    G
Heroes of reknown
                      C   G
The passing tales and glories
              C      D
That 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        G
In the rare old times
 
G             C  G  Em
Ring a ring a rosie
               C
As the light declines
    G             C G
I remember Dublin City
       D        G
In the rare old times
 
   G               C   G   Em
My name it is Sean Dempsey
                   C  G
As Dublin as could be
                      C    G
Born hard and late in Pimlico
                  C         D
In a house that's ceased to be
   G             C  G
By trade I was a cooper
     Em             C
Lost out to redundancy
        G                  C
Like my house that fell to progress
   D             G
My trade's a memory
 
      G             C   G   Em
And I courted Peggy Diagnam
                 C     G
As pretty as you please
                  C G
A gentle child of Mary
               C    D
From the rebel liberties
  G             C       G
I lost her to a student chap
     Em               C
With skin as black as coal
        G               C
When he took her off to Birmingham
    D            G
She took away my soul
 
G             C  G  Em
Ring a ring a rosie
               C
As the light declines
    G             C G
I remember Dublin City
       D        G
In the rare old times
 
    G                  C  G   Em
The years have made me bitter
                    C     G
The gargles dims me brain
                       C   G
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing
            C         D
And nothing seems the same
    G              C        G
The Pillar and the Met have gone
    Em                      C
The Royal long since pulled down
       G                    C
As the great and unyielding concrete
        D          G
Makes a city of my town
 
G      C  G  Em
      C
  G      C G
   D      G
 
G                         C G    Em
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
                C    G
I can no longer stay
                        C G
And watch the new glass cages
               C         D
That spring up along the quay
   G                  C   G
My mind's too full of memories
    Em              C
Too old to hear new chimes
      G                C
I'm a part of what was Dublin
       D        G
In the rare old times
 
G             C  G  Em
Ring a ring a rosie
               C
As the light declines
    G             C G
I remember Dublin City
       D        G
In the rare old times
