FINNEGAN’S WAKE chrom
Irish drinking song
Key: Em

-5  -4  -4 -4   -4   -3  -4  6      6
Tim Fin-ne-gan lived in Walk-in’ Street
-6* 7 -6* 6  6   -5    -4  -3 -3
A gen-tle I-rish man, might-y odd
-5 -4 -4   -4    -3   -4   6    6
He had a brogue both rich and sweet
 6  -6*  7 -6* -6*   6
And to rise in the world,
-5  6   6  -6* 7
He car-ried a hod
 7   7   7  7  7  -7  -7   7   -6*   6
Now Tim had a sort o’ the tip-plin’ way
 -5 -5  7    7   7   7   7
With a love for the liq-uor
 -7   7  -6*  6
Poor Tim was born
-5    7  7  7   -7  -7   7    -6*  6
To help him on with his work each day
 -5 -5  6   6   6   6    -5  6  -6*  7
He’d a drop o’ the cray-thur ev-‘ry morn
 -4   -4  -4   -4 -3
Whack fol the darn O,
 -4   6   6    6   -6*
Dance to your part-ner
  7   -6*   6     -6*  -4   -3   -3
Whirl the floor, your trot-ters shake
-4  -4  -4 -3   -4   6  6   -6*
Was-n’t it the truth I told you
 7  -6*  6  -5  6  6   -6*   7
Lots of fun at Fin-ne-gan’s Wake
