INTRO C G F C 
VERSES 
C G F C C G C C 
C C G C F G C C 
C C G C F G C C 
C G F C C G C C  

(as the last line of last verse or after last verse repeat last line; 
 swap 2nd last C chord with F  
 and last bar of C single strum or root note... or just do your own thing) 

chord repetition: first and last the same... 2 middle the same 

Lyric variation: I like to sing: Fare "thee" well to Tipp...  
timing stays the same as Fare Thee become two 1/8 notes instead of fare as a 1/4 note

       C              G           F        C          C         G            C         C

     We went     a-cross     the vall-     eys     and o'er     the hill-    tops green     
         C            C          G       C             F          G           C           C

Sean Moy-    lan and     his gall-    ant men     they kept     the flag     flying high          
          C           G           F       C             C           G        C            C 
     Fare well     to Tipp-    er-ar-     y    said the Gal-    tee moun-    tain boy 


        C               G           F         C                C           G          C    C 
     We tracked     the Dub-    lin moun-     tains    we were rebels      on     the run   
       C           C             G        C               F            G            C      C         
Though hun-    ted night     and mor-     ning    we were outlaws      but     free men      
   C               C            G         C               F           G            C       C      
We tracked     the Wick-    low moun-     tains    as the sun     was shin-    ing high    
          C           G           F       C             C           G        C             C       
     Fare well     to Tipp-    er-ar-     y    said the Gal-    tee moun-    tain boy

     I bid     fare-well     to old     Clon-mel    that I never      more     will see    
    C          C           G         C             F             G              C            C        
And to     the Gal-    tee moun-     tain     that oft     times shel-    tered me       
    C           C                   G          C             F             G         C       C     
The men     who fought    for their li-    ber-ty    and who died     with-out     a sigh    
          C            G             F       C                C           G        C         C          
May their cause     be ne'er     for-go-     tten    said the Gal-    tee moun-    tain boy
