Capo II (Relative to capo)
C F
My name is John O'Reilly and my father worked the fields
C G
In the hills of old Kilarny where I helped him turn the wheels
C F
My arms grew hard as iron for a boy of 17
C G C
And I used my fists for gambling on those wet Kilarny streets
C F
Well the ship left for America and I took my pack aboard
C G
Said goodbye to my dear Ireland said a prayer to my dear lord
C F
But I fought those sorry guineas in the kitchen they called hell
C G C
Well I fought them for their dollar and those guineas paid me well
Chorus:
C
Fair the well fair Dover
F
Fair the well your seasons turn
C Am G C
For my pockets will be jingling on the day of my return the day of my return
C F
Well I fought in New York City and I fought the Jersey shore
C G
My gut stayed full of whiskey and my bed stayed full of whores
C F
Well they called my right a cannonball and my left they called the same
C G C
And I left them all lyin' half in blood and half in shame
C F
Well I met a man on 32 and he stuck out his hand
C G
And he offered me a thousand if I'd fall before his man
C F
Well I said it could be done but only for another two
C G C
And he smiled at me and nodded as I stuck it in my shoe
Chorus:
C
Fair the well fair dover
F
Fair the well your seasons turn
C Am G C
For my pockets will be jingling on the day of my return the day of my return
C F
Well they rang the bell two times before I let him have my nose
C G
And I let him work my left until my eye was swollen closed
C F
Then I let loose a right that they still talk about today
C G C
For that guinea didn't know that I had bet the other way
C F
They covered every dock and every port there on the coast
C G
Looking for the double crosser who had turned into a ghost
C F
But I was on a train my friend that rode the other way
C G C
And I'll sail from California back to Dublin one fine day
Chorus: x2
C
Fair the well fair Dover
F
Fair the well your seasons turn
C Am G C
For my pockets will be jingling on the day of my return the day of my return
