-5  -5  -4  -4 -4  -4 -4 -4
Oh, me name is Mac-Na-ma-ra, 
-4  -4   -4  -4 -3  3   -1
I'm the lead-er of the band
-4   4      4    4  4  -5  -5
Al-though we're few in num-ber, 
  3   -3  -4  -4  -3  3   -3
we're the fin-est in the land
-5  -4  -4  -4   -4  -4   -4
We play at wakes and wed-dings 
-4  -4 -4  -4 -3  3   -1
and at ev-‘ry fan-cy ball
-4   4   4   4   4  -5 -5   3 
And when we play at fu-ner-als, 
-3  -4  -4   -3    -3   3
we play the March from Saul

-5  -5   -4   -4  -4  -4  -4  -4   -4   -4
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang 
-4  -4   -4    -4   -3   3 -1
and the horns they blaze a-way
-4  4   4    4    4  -5  -5  3
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon 
 -3  -4 -4   -3   3   -3
while I the pipes do play
-5  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4   -4  -4  -4   -4
And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute 
-4  -4  -4  -4 -4  -3    3    -1
and the mus-ic is some-thin' grand
-4  4  4  4   4  -5   3   -3 -4  -4 -3  -3   3
A cred-it to old Ire-land is Mac-Na-ma-ra's band

Right now we are re-hears-in' 
for a very swell af-fair
The an-nu-al cel-e-bra-tion, 
all the gen-try will be there
When Gen-er-al Grant to Ire-land came 
he took me by the hand
Says he, "I nev-er saw the likes 
of Mac-Na-mar-a's Band"

-5  -5   -4   -4  -4  -4  -4  -4   -4   -4
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang 
-4  -4   -4    -4   -3   3 -1
and the horns they blaze a-way
-4  4   4    4    4  -5  -5  3
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon 
 -3  -4 -4   -3   3   -3
while I the pipes do play
-5  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4   -4  -4  -4   -4
And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute 
-4  -4  -4  -4 -4  -3    3    -1
and the mus-ic is some-thin' grand
-4  4  4  4   4  -5   3   -3 -4  -4 -3  -3   3
