Lyrics & Chords: Rockin' Ol' Galway


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Fairyport (1971)
    A
4/4 Dear ol' Granma, get that fiddle out
    F#m                     D7       E7
    Blow a tune and make us jump and shout
                    Bm7          E7          A
    Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, out in rockin' ol' Galway

    Dear old Granma, you got what it takes
    You blow fiddle good as cherry cakes
    Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, out in rockin' ol' Galway

      F#m
7/8   Out in the barn we get in a line and then
      G
      Kick off our shoes and hoe down in time and then
      E7
      Granpa arrives with all of his drums
              D7
4/4   And the full moon has just come

      Bagpipes and bells and hornpipes and jigs and then
      Horses and cows and chickens and pigs and then
      Grannie and Uncle are bootleggin' tea
      And the moonshine's flowin' free

    Dear ol' Granma, we just got to sigh
    You blow fiddle good as rhubarb pie
    Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, out in rockin' ol' Galway

        (harmonica solo)

      Out in the barn...

      Bagpipes and bells...

    Dear ol' Granma, get that fiddle out...

        (harmonica solo)
