Spancil Hill chords
Irish Traditional
Capo I
Am G Am
Am G Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by,
C G
Me mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly,
Am C G
I stepped aboard a vision, and followed with a will,
Am G Am
And I shortly came to anchor, at the cross on Spancil Hill.
Am G Am
It being the 23rd of June, the day before the fair,
C G
When Irelands' sons and daughters, in crowds assembled there,
Am
The young and the old, the brave and the bold,
C G Am G Am
Came their joy to fulfill, there were jovial conversations at the fair at Spancil Hill.

Am G Am
I went to see my neighbors, to hear what they might say,
C G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray,
Am C G
I met with the tailor Quigley he's as bald as ever still,
Am G Am
Sure he used to make me britches when I lived in Spancil Hill.
Am G Am
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
C G
She s as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove,
Am C G
She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still,
Am G Am
Oh, she's Nell the farmers daughter and the flower of Spancil Hill.
Am G Am
I dream t I held and kissed her, as in the days of yore,
C G
She said Johnny you're only joking like many's the times before,
Am C G
The cock he crew the morning, he crew both loud and shrill,
Am G Am
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
