The Parting Glass Chords / Audio (Transposable):







Intro

Gb  spoken 

I'm not a perfect man, Not even a good man

But I'm not the sum of my mistakes

Or the sum of all the good things I've done

The truth lies somewhere between the two

But I'm a man who has been loved well

Both by God and by his family

And I'm a grateful man

So friends, walk slow, go easy

And love well





Verse 

   Gb

Of all the money that I had

                    B

I spent it in good company

    Gb

And all the harm I ever did

                 B

Alas, it was to none but me

    Ebm               Gb/Bb

And all I've done for want of wit

    B

To memory now, I can't recall

   Gb

So fill to me the parting glass

      Gb/Bb      B      Db      Ebm

Good night, and joy be with you all





Interlude

Gb/Bb  B Db Gb





Verse 

   Gb

Of all the comrades that I had

                      B

They're sorry for my going away

    Gb

And all the sweethearts that I had

       Ebm     Db       Gb/Bb    B

They'd wish me one more day to stay

    Ebm            Gb/Bb

But since it fell into my lot

      B                Ebm

That I should rise and you should not

      Gb

I'll gently rise and softly call

    Ebm        Db     Gb/Bb    C

Goodnight, and joy be with you all





Ending

      Gb

I'll gently rise and softly call

    Ebm        Db     Gb/Bb    Gb

Goodnight, and joy be with you all
