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:

The Proud Beggar

ever wonder what the hell I am thinking about? ever wonder what the hell James Joyce was thinking about? ever wonder what Helene Cixous was thinking about James Joyce? ever wonder what it means to be human? ever wonder of you're the only person in the universe who thinks the whole getting married and having kids thing is a little suspect? ever wonder what word pisses me off more than any other word?......NOW IS YOUR TIME TO FIND OUT.

(tip: I think this one reads best fullscreen in "book" viewing mode)
