G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7


[Verse]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
A hungry feeling 

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Came o'er me stealing
        C         G        Am             D7
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
To begin the morning
A screw was bawling
Get up ya bousey and clean out your cell

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
On a fine spring evening
The lag lay dreaming
The seagulls wheeling high above the wall

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
The lag lay sleeping
Oh the loike was creeping
And I lay there weeping for my good girl Sal

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
The wind was rising
And the day declining
As I lay pining in my prison cell

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

[Verse]
Up in the female prison
There are seventy-five women
And it is among them that I wish I did dwell

[Chorus]
G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
And the auld triangle

G       Gmaj7  G6      Gmaj7
Went   jingle    jangle

C         G        Am     D  G
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
