Intro: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base. (Capo 1st Fret)
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The snow is gently [] falling now,
And [] I am sadly [] dreaming
Of [] times of old and [] happy days gone [] by,
Of [] Christmas cheers, songs [] of the past,
When [] Irish reels were [] ringin
a- [] round the kitchen [] table all the [] night.
May those [] days never [] trickle from your [] mind.
Love it fills the [] air so full, as [] children s faces [] glisten,
While [] old friends sing us [] tales about the [] sea
Of [] wives at home with [] hands embraced,
[] waiting for men s re- [] turning,
With [] eyes arced from the [] wild and stormy [] seas.
May those [] days never [] trickle from your [] mind.
Interlude: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
(Normal Chord Progression)
Everyone is [] happy now
With [] drinkin songs and [] dancing,
While [] Danny sings a [] song of old and [] new,
My [] father tells a [] tale of ships,
My [] mother sings of [] Ireland,
And [] I pipe up a [] reel which stirs the [] room.
My [] sister plays a [] merry tune,
And [] Kevin beats the [] bodhran,
It [] airs a Celtic [] soul sound throughout the [] room;
My [] nanny sits and [] listens while [] drinkin hot- [] totties
And [] thinking back on [] days I never [] knew.
May those [] days never [] trickle from your [] mind.
Interlude: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
[] [] [] [] [] []
The wind is blowing [] harder now,
And [] people must be [] leavin
To [] get back to their [] homes around the [] shore;
We [] wish them all good [] night,
God bless, a [] quick and safe re- [] turning
To [] nice warm beds and [] children s waiting [] arms.
May those [] days never [] trickle from your [] mind.
May those [] days never [] trickle from your [] mind.
Outro: Flute, Mandolin Guitar and Base.
