Days Gone By

Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. (Capo 1st Fret) D A Bm F#m G D A G A D The snow is gently A falling now, And Bm I am sadly F#m dreaming Of G times of old and D happy days gone A by, Of D Christmas cheers, songs A of the past, When Bm Irish reels were F#m ringin' a- G round the kitchen D table all the A night. May those G days never A trickle from your D mind. Love it fills the A air so full, as Bm children's faces F#m glisten, While G old friends sing us D tales about the A sea Of D wives at home with A hands embraced, Bm waiting for men's re- F#m turning, With G eyes arced from the D wild and stormy A seas. May those G days never A trickle from your D mind. Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. (Normal Chord Progression) Everyone is A happy now With Bm drinkin' songs and F#m dancing, While G Danny sings a D song of old and A new, My D father tells a A tale of ships, My Bm mother sings of F#m Ireland, And G I pipe up a D reel which stirs the A room. My D sister plays a A merry tune, And Bm Kevin beats the F#m bodhran, It G airs a Celtic D soul sound throughout the A room; My D nanny sits and A listens while Bm drinkin hot- F#m totties And G thinking back on D days I never A knew. May those G days never A trickle from your D mind. Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. D G Bm G A D The wind is blowing A harder now, And Bm people must be F#m leavin' To G get back to their D homes around the A shore; We D wish them all good A night, God bless, a Bm quick and safe re- F#m turning To G nice warm beds and A children's waiting D arms. May those G days never A trickle from your D mind. May those G days never A trickle from your D mind. Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. D A Bm F#m G D A G A D
