Here are the chords, using one of the English verses. I have given them in the key of G, but you will probably want to sing it higher. If I remember correctly the woman I played with sang it in B flat, so I used to capo up 3 frets



(D)These(G) twelve months and (Em) better my (G)darling has(D)left the(G) shore
He ne'er will come(Bm)back till he(C) travels the(D) wide world all(Em) o'er
And(G) when he re(Bm)turns he'll bring(C) silver and(D) gold in(Em) store
He's the(G) fondest of(Em) lovers, sweet(G) Jimmy mó(D) mhíle(G) stór
