   G                  Em
Of all the money that e'er I had
     C                D
I've spent it in good company
    G                 Em
And all the harm I've ever done
  C             D        G
A-las it was to none but me
    G                 Em
And all I've done for want of wit
   C            D
To memory now I can't recall
   G              Em
So fill to me the parting glass
     C                D        G
Good night and joy be with you all


    G                     Em
Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
        C            D
They're sorry for my going away
    G                        Em
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
       C                D      G
They'd wish me one more day to stay
    G                Em
But since it falls unto my lot
     C                 D
That I should rise and you should not
     G               Em
I'll gently rise and softly call
     C                D        G
Good night and joy be with you all



   G            Em
If I had money enough to spend
    C               D
And leisure to sit awhile
      G              Em
There is a fair maid in the town
     C             D       G
That sorely has my heart beguiled
    G               Em
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
  C              D
I own she has my heart enthralled
   G              Em
So fill to me the parting glass
     C                D        G
Good night and joy be with you all


optional chorus between verses

   G              Em
So fill to me the parting glass
    C                   D   
And drink a health what e'er befalls
     G               Em
I'll gently rise and softly call
     C                D        G
Good night and joy be with you all


optional repeat of last chorus line making preceding bar of G a half bar instead
