This is exactly how the Dubliners play it, without a capo.
Basically the whole song just goes D A.
Intro (flutes): F C C F x4
VERSE I:
--------
In the Fdays I went a Ccourtin',
I was Cnever tired reFsortin'.
To an Fale house or a Cplayhouse,
And Cmany's the house beFsides
But I Ftold me brother CSeamus,
I'd go Coff and be right Ffamous,
And I Fnever would reCturn again,
Until I Croamed the wForldwide.
CHORUS:
-------
FGoodbye, Muirsheen CDurkin,
Sure I'm Csick and tired of Fworkin'
No Fmore I'll dig for Cpraties,
And no Clonger I'll be Ffooled
As Fsure as me name is CCarney,
I'll be Coff to CaliFforny
Where insFtead of digging Cpraties,
I'll be Cdigging lumps of Fgold.
Inst. (flutes): F C C F x1
VERSE II:
---------
I've Fcourted girls in CBlarney,
in KanCturk and in FKillarney
In passage and in CQueenstown,
that Cis the Cobh of FCork.
GoodFbye to all this Cpleasure,
I'll be Coff to take me Fleisure
And the Fnext time that you'll Chear from me,
will be a Cletter from New FYork.
CHORUS:
-------
FGoodbye, Muirsheen CDurkin,
I'm Csick and tired of Fworkin'
No more I'll dig for Cpraties,
And no Clonger I'll be Ffooled
As sure as me name is CCarney,
I'll be Coff to CaliFforny
Where instead of digging Cpraties,
I'll be Cdigging lumps of Fgold.
VERSE III:
----------
FGoodbye to the Cgirls at home,
I'm Cgoing far across the Ffoam.
To Ftry and make me Cfortune,
in Cfar AmeriFkay.
There's Fgold and jewels and Cplenty,
For the Cpoor and for the Cgentry
And Fwhen I return Cagain,
I Cnever more will Fsay:
CHORUS:
-------
FGoodbye, Muirsheen CDurkin,
Sure I'm Csick and tired of Fworkin'
No Fmore I'll dig for Cpraties,
And no Clonger I'll be Ffooled
As Fsure as me name is CCarney,
I'll be Coff to CaliFforny
Where insFtead of digging Cpraties,
I'll be Cdigging lumps of Fgold.
