My kids say da just tell us one more time,

C                                          G                             D      /
About when you were young and in your prime,

And the way that you met ma,      and every thing you saw,

And tell us of the things you used to do.
 

         G                  D                    G                           /
So I closed my eyes      and rolled the years away,

 C                                G                         D      /
And everything's as clear as yesterday,

         /                   G          C                                             G

All our days were sunny,      all our sky's were blue,

C                             D   G
In Dublin town in 1962.

 

        G                               D                                G    /
We climed the hill of Howth and down again,

C                                          G                 D      /
Walked home from the piller in the rain

        /                          G     C                                                          G
We courted in the park,      while the lights glowed in the dark,

 C                                           /                  D     /
Danced in Cleary's and the Metrapole till two.
 

 G                                            D                        G    /

     We crossed the Half penny bridge at evening time,

   C                             G                        D      /
It felt so good to have you by my side,

              /                                  G                       C                                       G
We watched the Mail boat sail,      paper boys cried Hearld or Mail

It was Dublin town in 1962.

 

                                 [Chorus]  

         
         G                        D                               G    /
Like many more we kissed it all good bye,

           C                         G                     D      /
And sailed away to give our luck a try,

                   /                       G    C                                                      G
In that land accross the sea,     thats been good to you and me,

                        C                       /                       D
Where our children played as we once used to do
 

         G                         D                                G       /
Well my kids say da      thats really quiet a tale

C                                          G                D      /
We can see you have the spirit of the gael

                   /                       G       C                                        G
And we know you've no regrets,      and we're very glad you met,
