Basically the whole song just goes C G F C.
(You can omit the F if you like)
Intro (flutes): C G F C x4
VERSE I:
--------
In the Cdays I went a Gcourtin',
I was Fnever tired reCsortin'.
To an Cale house or a Gplayhouse,
And Fmany's the house beCsides
But I Ctold me brother GSeamus,
I'd go Foff and be right Cfamous,
And I Cnever would reGturn again,
Until I Froamed the wCorldwide.
CHORUS:
-------
CGoodbye, Muirsheen GDurkin,
Sure I'm Fsick and tired of Cworkin'
No Cmore I'll dig for Gpraties,
And no Flonger I'll be Cfooled
As Csure as me name is GCarney,
I'll be Foff to CaliCforny
Where insCtead of digging Gpraties,
I'll be Fdigging lumps of Cgold.
Inst. (flutes): C G F C x1
VERSE II:
---------
I've Ccourted girls in GBlarney,
in KanFturk and in CKillarney
In passage and in GQueenstown,
that Fis the Cobh of CCork.
GoodCbye to all this Gpleasure,
I'll be Foff to take me Cleisure
And the Cnext time that you'll Ghear from me,
will be a Fletter from New CYork.
CHORUS:
-------
CGoodbye, Muirsheen GDurkin,
I'm Fsick and tired of Cworkin'
No more I'll dig for Gpraties,
And no Flonger I'll be Cfooled
As sure as me name is GCarney,
I'll be Foff to CaliCforny
Where instead of digging Gpraties,
I'll be Fdigging lumps of Cgold.
VERSE III:
----------
CGoodbye to the Ggirls at home,
I'm Fgoing far across the Cfoam.
To Ctry and make me Gfortune,
in Ffar AmeriCkay.
There's Cgold and jewels and Gplenty,
For the Fpoor and for the Ggentry
And Cwhen I return Gagain,
I Fnever more will Csay:
CHORUS:
-------
CGoodbye, Muirsheen GDurkin,
Sure I'm Fsick and tired of Cworkin'
No Cmore I'll dig for Gpraties,
And no Flonger I'll be Cfooled
As Csure as me name is GCarney,
I'll be Foff to CaliCforny
Where insCtead of digging Gpraties,
I'll be Fdigging lumps of Cgold.
Inst.: C G F C to fadeout.
