WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME 3/4 (Capo on 5th fret)

 

D      A       G    D   

I am a true born Irishman

D         A         D

I'll never deny what I am

D              A            G          D

I was born in sweet Tipperary town

D             A        D

Three thousand miles away

 

-Chorus-

D         A       D

Hurray me boys hurray

D             A              G  A

No more do I wish for to roam

D                 A              G        D

For the sun it will shine in the harvest time

D               A      D

To welcome poor Paddy home

 

D                A      D

The girls thay are gay and frisky

D              A       G A

They'd take you by the hand

D               A           G          D

Saying Jimmy mo chroi will you come with me

D                A        D

To welcome the stranger home

 

-Chorus-

 

In came the foreign nation

And scattered all over the land

The horse, the cow, the goat, sheep and sow

Came into the stranger's hands

 

-Chorus-

 

The Scotsman can boast of the thistle

And England can boast of the rose

But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle

Where the dear little shamrock grows.

 

-Chorus-
