***DANNY BOY - Traditional, arranged by Shane MacGowan
from the EP "Christmas Party"

Danny Boy - as performed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes

		 C			F
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
                      C               G
>From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
		 C			F
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
		 C		      G        C
'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must bide

        C              F                C
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
	      Am	       F	    G
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
            C             F          C      Am
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
             C              G          C
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I may well be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warm and sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me

About artist:

The Pogues are a band of mixed Irish and English background, playing traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. They reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, until MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems. They continued with first Joe Strummer and then Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996.[1] The band began performing together again in 2001, though they have yet to record new music.

Their politically-tinged music was influenced by The Clash,[2] yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, banjo, cittern, mandolin, accordion, and others. In the later incarnations of the band, after the departure of Shane MacGowan, rock instruments such as the electric guitar would become more prominent. The first of The Pogues' albums, Red Roses for Me, borrows much from the punk tradition of MacGowan's previous band The Nipple Erectors (later dubbed "The Nips").

The Pogues were founded in King's Cross,[3] a district of North London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone—pogue mahone being the Anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse".[4]

The band specialised in Irish folk music, often playing with the energy of the punk rock scene in which several of the members had their roots.
