[Verse 1]
       Am       F    G
I am a rambling Irishman
   C            F    G
In Ulster I was born and
C          Am       F     G
Many's the pleasant day I spent
           C                    F C
'Round the shores of sweet Loch Erin
               F       C     G
But to be poor I could not endure
     C      F     C  G
Like others of my station
    C   F     C       Dm7
To Amerikay I sailed away
          C     F G
Left this Irish nation


[Chorus]
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C  G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C
Right antin-de-na in denandy


[Verse 2]
            Am      F     G
The night before he went away
  C                F   G
I spent it with my darling
   C    Am           F    G
Three o'clock in the afternoon
         C                 F   C
'Til the break of day next morning
              F       C        G
But when that we were going to part
   C      F            C G
We lay in each other's arms
    C   F      C        Dm7
To Amerikay he soon set sail
          C       F   G
A journey with no charms


[Chorus]
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C  G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C
Right antin-de-na in denandy


[Verse 3]
            Am          F     G
And when we reached the other side
   C                   F   G
We were both stout and healthy
C           Am     F      G
Dropped the anchor in the bay
      C            F      C
Going down to Philadelphi-ay
             F             C   G
So let every lass drink to her lad
        C      F         C   G
In blue jacket and white trousers
        C     F         C      Dm7
And let every lad drink to his lass
    C                 F   G
And take them as life spouses


[Chorus]
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C  G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C         Am  Dm7        G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
      C        F       C
Right antin-de-na in denandy
