Verse 1:
   
Am           G         C      G  
Of all the money that ere I had,   
     C     G        F    G  
I spent it in good company.   
    C        G         C     G 
And all the harm that ere I done,   
  C       G       F        G  
Alas! It was to none but me.   
     C       G         C     G 
And all Ive done for want of wit,   
      C      G    F     G   
To memory now I cant recall.   
    Am      G      C        G  
So fill to me the parting glass.   
     C         G      F       G 
Goodnight and joy be with you all.  
   
Verse 2:
    
Am           G             C      G 
Oh, all the comrades that ere I had,   
 C        G           C      G 
They're sorry for my going away,   
    C         G               C     G 
And all the sweethearts that ere I had,   
        C       G        F       G          
They?d wish me one more day to stay   
     C        G       C     G 
But since it falls unto my lot   
     C       G          F          G 
That I should rise and you should not,   
        Am     G             C      G  
I will gently rise and I'll softly call,   
      C         G      F        G  
'Goodnight and joy be with you all!' 
      С         G      C        G 
'Goodnight and joy be with you all!'  
   
Verse 3:
  
Oh, if I had enough money to spend  
And leisure time to sit awhile  
There is a fair maid in this town  
That sorely has my heart beguiled  
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,   
I own she has my heart in thrall.   
So fill to me the parting glass. 
?Goodnight and joy be with you all.?
