Parting Glass - Lyrics and Chords - & rats drinking whiskey

I had the beautiful classic Ronnie Drew song "Parting Glass" in my head last week, so I plucked out this version:



Since many of the chords I found online were unsatisfying, here are the chords as I'm playing above if anyone wants to use this version:

Emin  G  C  G                        Emin        D 
Of all the money that e'er I spent 
G                        Emin          G    D 
I've spent it in good company 
Emin  G  C  G                       Emin       D 
And all the harm that ever I did 
Emin  C  G       D       Emin 
Alas it was to none but me 
         G  C  G                         G  C  G 
And all I've done for want of wit 
Gsus  G          Emin         G             D 
To memory now I can't recall 
Emin  G   C  G             Emin         D 
So fill to me the parting glass 
Emin               C       G   D           Emin 
Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend 
And leisure time to sit awhile 
There is a fair maid in town 
That sorely has my heart beguiled 
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips 
I own she has my heart enthralled 
So fill to me the parting glass 
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had 
They're sorry for my going away 
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had 
They'd wish me one more day to stay 
But since it falls unto my lot 
That I should rise and you softly call 
So fill to me the parting glass 
Good night and joy be with you all

Furthermore, here's a video of my rats cuddling in my lap & drinking my manhattan:
