Muirsheen Durkin [A] - The Dubliners

[intro] 1.2.3..

In the [A] days I went a [E7] courtin', I was [E7] never tired re-[A] sortin'.
To an [A] ale house or a [E7] playhouse, Or to [E7] many a house be-[A]sides
I [A] told me brother [E7] Seamus, I'd go [E7] off and go right [A] famous,
And before I would [E7] return again, I'd [E7] roam the whole world-[A]wide.

[Chorus] 
So [A] goodbye, Muirsheen [E7] Durkin, I'm [E7] sick and tired of [A] workin'
No [A] more I'll dig the [E7] praties, no [E7] longer I'll be [A] fool
For as [A] sure as me name is [E7] Carney,
I'll be [E7] off to Cali-[A]fornia where in-[A]stead of digging [E7] praties,
I'll be [E7] digging lumps of [A] gold

I've [A] courted girls in [E7] Blarney, in Kan[E7] turk and in [A] Killarney
In passage and in [E7] Queenstown, that [E7] is the Cobh of [A] Cork.
Good[A] bye to all this [E7] pleasure, I'll be [E7] off to take me [A] leisure
And the [A] next time that you'll [E7] hear from me,
will be a [E7] letter from New [A] York.
 
[Chorus]
So [A] goodbye, Muirsheen [E7] Durkin, I'm [E7] sick and tired of [A] workin'
No [A] more I'll dig the [E7] praties, no [E7] longer I'll be [A] fool
For as [A] sure as me name is [E7] Carney,
I'll be [E7] off to Cali-[A]fornia where in-[A]stead of digging [E7] praties,
I'll be [E7] digging lumps of [A] gold

[A] Goodbye to the [E7] girls at home, I'm [E7] going far across the [A] foam.
To [A] try and make me [E7] fortune, in [E7] far Ameri-[A]ca.
There's [A] gold and jewels and [E7] plenty, for the [E7] poor and for the [E7] gentry
And [A] when I return [E7] again, I [E7] never more will [A] say

[Chorus]
So [A] goodbye, Muirsheen [E7] Durkin, I'm [E7] sick and tired of [A] workin'
No [A] more I'll dig the [E7] praties, no [E7] longer I'll be [A] fool
For as [A] sure as me name is [E7] Carney,
I'll be [E7] off to Cali-[A]fornia where in-[A]stead of digging [E7] praties,
I'll be [E7] digging lumps of [A] gold [A//]
