The Em in the refrain is played C/g G in the first verse.

       G              D             Am             G    
It was down by Christ Church that I first met with Annie 
  G           Em       C         D
A neat little girl and not a bit shy
    G           D          G    C/g     C/g G
She told me her father who came from Dungannon
      G             Em          C             G
would take her back home in the sweet bye and bye
    C/g                   G
And what's it to any man, whether or no
C/g                  G           D      C2
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
     Em                    G
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
      G              Em          C          G
And I rolled back my sleeve to unbuckle her shoe
'Twas first down Thomas Street, and then out by the levee
The sun had gone down and the evening grew dark
and down by Kings Bridge, and by Lord in a jiffy
My arms were around her, beyond in the park
Now, in city or country, a girl is a jewel
And well built for grippin', as most of them are 
Ah, but any young man would be really a foo-el
to try it the first time and go a bit far
Now, if by a chance you're in the town of Dungannon
You might search till your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be it sittin' or walkin' or runnin' or standin' 
A girl like Annie you never will find
