Verse 

E                            A 
Once by the white sea on the rocky coast of Wales 
E                        B 
There was a sad sound in the song of the nightingales 
E                        A 
Above the bright fields, yours was the wilder song 
E                 B 
From a dark wood, a plaint so clear and strong 


E           A                         E 
The pale, unfettered breast against a thorn 
A                           B 
How you loved to make sweet music pour 


A                 B 
Here's to all the hangers-on 
E                B 
Another round of ale 
E             A           G#m 
You sang your lonely life away 
A     B      E

Verse 

E                      A 
I've heard of one bird who sang to an ancient age 
E                     B 
That was in china, he lived in a bamboo cage 
E                        A 
His voice was silver but yours was smooth, warm stone 
E                        B 
On the sidewalk singing "Molly Malone” 


A                 B 
Here's to all the hangers-on 
E                B 
Another round of ale 
E             A           G#m 
You sang your lonely life away 
A     B      E

Verse 

E                                                        
It was always the madness or the drink 
         B 
You were driven to 
E 
I guess in the end those were the bars 
                 B 
You were singing through 
 

A                 B 
Here's to all the hangers-on 
E                B 
Another round of ale 
E             A           G#m 
You sang your lonely life away 
A     B      E
