Written by Frederick Weatherly and to the original tune of ''The Derry Air'' This song
would be more popular with the Irish abroad than the Irish at home. In all the ballad sessions I've ever attended I have never
heard this song sang in an Irish pub in Ireland. The abc music notes are below. Danny Boy lyrics and chords the youtube video is by Foister And Allen who in my opinion is one of the best versions. To download this

Remember, this song is typically played with a slow tempo. The letters in bold are low notes.
