Irish love song – Alternative title: Londonderry_Air, Text: Frederick Weatherly (1913 publ.), Melody : Rory Dhall O'Cahan (ca. 1600): Londonderry Air, arranged by Mjchael 

The lyrics to "Danny Boy" were written by the English lawyer and lyricist Frederick Weatherly in 1910. Although the lyrics were originally written for a different tune, Weatherly modified them to fit "Londonderry Air" in 1913 when his sister-in-law in America sent him a copy.

Da Danny Boy i.d.R. sehr langsam vorgetragen wird, besteht relativ viel Spielraum zum Arrangieren der Begleitakkorde. Hier werden nur die wesentlichen verwendet, die natürlich sehr effektvoll durch melodieangepasste Zwischenakkorde ergänzt werden können.

Danny Boy

1^st Verse

Oh Danny D Boy, the D7 pipes, the pipes are G calling

From glen to D glen, and down the mountain A side

The summer's D gone, and D7 all the roses G falling

'Tis you, 'tis D you must A go and I must D bide

But come ye D back when G summer's in the D meadow

Or when the Bm valley's G hushed and white with A snow

'Tis I'll be D here in G sunshine or in D shadow Bm

Oh Danny D Boy, oh Danny A Boy, I love you D so

2^nd Verse

And when you D come, and D7 all the flowers are G dying

If I am D dead, as dead I well may A be

You'll come and D find the D7 place where I am G lying

And kneel and D say an A "Ave" there for D me

And I shall D hear, tho' G soft you tread a- D bove me

And all my Bm grave will G warmer, sweeter A be

For you will D bend and to G tell me that you D love me Bm

And I shall D sleep in peace un- A til you come to D me
