IT’S THE SAME OLD SHILLELAGH
By: Pat White
Key: C
Time: 6/8

  3     -3  -4   4    4   -4  4   -4
Sure’s it’s the same old shil-le-lagh
4  -5  4     -4     -4 -4 -3* -4
Me fa-ther brought from I-re-land
-4  -4  -4 -4 -4 -4   -4   -4  -4  4
And div-il a man was proud-er than he
-4 -4   -3    -3  -3 -3 -3   -3
As he walked with it in his hand
 3    4    4   4   -4 -5   4   -4
He’d lead the band on Pad-dy’s day
-3    -4  -3*  -4    4   -5
And twirl it ‘round his mitt
-5  -5  6 -5 -4   -3   -5   -5 -4
And div-il a bit we’d laugh at it
-3 -4   -3    -4  4 -5
Or dad would have a fit
 3    -3  -4   4    4   -4  4   -4 
Sure with the same old Shil-le-lagh
4  -5  -5    4    -4 -4 -4 -3* -4
Me fa-ther could lick a doz-en men
3   -4  -4   -4   -4  -4  -4  4  4
As fast as they’d get up, be-gor-ry
 -4   -3    -3  -3 -3  -3
He’d knock ‘em down a-gain
 3   4   4   4   4   4   4   4  4  4
And man-y’s the time he used it on me
4   -5  -3 3* -3   -5
To make me un-der-stand
 3   4    4   4   4   4
The same old Shil-le-lagh
4  4   -5     6     5   6 -5  5
Me fa-ther brought from I-re-land

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
