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