THE LOW BACK’D CAR chrom
James Joyce
Key: D
Time: 6/8

 -5   -5  -6*-6*  -7    7  6
When first I saw sweet Peg-gy,
  5*  -5-6*-7  -7  -7
'Twas on a mar-ket day;
-6* 7  7    6   6   -6*   -6* -5
A low-back car she drove, and sat
-6* 7 6  -5   5* -5
Up-on a truss of hay;
-5   -5   7    7  -8   -8   -7   -7
But when that hay was bloom-ing grass,
-5    -5    7      7    -8   -7
And deck'd with flow’rs of Spring,
-5   -5   -9   -9   -8-8  -8   -7  -7 7
No flow'r was there that could com-pare
-6*-6*   6   -5   6  -6* -7...
To the bloom-ing girl I sing.
-6*...6  -5  -4 -3  -5   -5    -5
As   she sat in her low-back'd car,
-6*  6  -5 -4   6    6    6
The man at the turn-pike bar
-6* 7   -7    7  -6*  -7
Nev-er ask'd for the toll,
 7   -6*   -9    8*  -8   -7...
But just rubb'd his auld poll
-6*   6    -5 -4  -3  -5   -5    -5
And look’d af-ter the low-back’d car.
