G A hungry feeling Bm Came o'er me stealing C G And the mice were squeeling Am C In my prison cell G Bm And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle C G D G All along the banks of the Royal Canal Oh, to start the morning, the warder bawling "Get up out of bed, you, and clean out your cell" And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Oh, the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping As he lay weeping for his girl Sal And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Oh, the wind was sighing and the day was dying As the lag lay crying in his prison cell And that auld triangle went jingle-bloody-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal In the women's prison, there are seventy women And I wish it was with them that I did dwell Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Bm  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
