Musical interlude for St. Patrick's Day

[Jack Rabbit]

He reaches for his inexpensive guitar, which he plays badly as he sings like a sick horse

O, Danny (G)Boy, the pipes, the pipes are (C)calling
From glen to (G)glen and (Em)down the mountain(D7)side
The Summer's (G)gone, and all the leaves are (C)falling
It's you, it's (G)you must (D7)go while I must (G)bide.
But (D7)come ye (G)back when (C)Summer's in the (G)meadow
Or (D7)when the (Em)valley's (C)hushed and white and (D7)snow
I'll be (G)there in (C)sunshine or in (G)shadow
O Danny (Em)Boy, O Danny (D7)Boy, I love ye (G)so.

And if ye come and all the flowers are dying
And if I'm dead, and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place when I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And my grave shall warmer and sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I shall sleep in peace 'til you come by me.

1. A song which I will only sing while drunk, and in a large group!

But, when done well, it's a truly beautiful thing.
