Chorus: A D A D And all I've done for want of wit Bm A D E to mem'ry now I can't recall; F#m D A E So fill to me the parting glass, F#m A D Bm F#m Good night and joy be to you all. Of all the comrades that e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay Chorus: But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again Chorus: But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
