Intro: Gbm  D  A  E

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


  Gbm                     A 
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
        Gbm            A      E
They are sorry for my going away
    Gbm                       A
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
           Gbm               Bm      Gbm
They would wish me one more day to stay
    A               A
But since it falls unto my lot
    Bm                 Gbm         E
That I should rise and you should not
      Gbm                  A
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
     Gbm              Bm       Gbm
Good night and joy be with you all


  Gbm                A
A man may drink and not be drunk
  Gbm                A      E
A man may fight and not be slain
  Gbm              A    
A man may court a pretty girl
    Gbm                  Bm   Gbm
And perhaps be welcomed back again
    A               A 
But since it has so ordered been
     Bm                 Gbm      E
By a time to rise and a time to fall
     Gbm             A
Come fill to me the parting glass
     Gbm              Bm       Gbm
Good night and joy be with you all
     Gbm              Bm       Gbm
Good night and joy be with you all

Today is israel’s bithday and I played the song for him. I hope he’s watching. He died in 1995 and I feel true grave for him. 🙁

Iz isn’t dead my friends. He is just watching his troubles melt away like lemon drops, somewhere over the rainbow. He lives on… in our hearts.

Noah

Hey, what is the strumming pattern for this?

Russ

The “D” didn’t quite sound right to me. I play a G7 I stead and that works well.

Yeet

Hi! This is a helpful tip!

strumming pattern is:⬇️⬇️⬆️ ⬆️⬇️⬆️
the space is a pause for a second!
Some people say DDU-UDU, which basically means D=down, U=up.

hope this helps!

Please like my pet hamster he is dying

Yea… Can you be quiet now? This website is to learn how to play ukulele, not be disrespectful to others. I know you’re probably gonna respond with some stupid reply, but just leave every else alone. You’ve done enough and it’s getting old. Like c’mon dude, it’s not funny and never was in the first place.
