Break: [G G G C] [C G D G] repeat X 2

My name is Father Emmett
I've been banished from my home
Cos all the women loved me
And I always had the bone
I can play the concertina,
guitar, bazouki and citern
When I dance the Siege of Ennis
The floor beneath me starts to burn

For a jar or two just to get me through
I'll do a turn for you... and absolve you too

I'll take care of your missus
All night long the whole night through
While you jump on that young one over there
That's makin eyes at you

Chorus: (repeat X 4)

      D (xx0232@1)       GYodle (320003@1)odle odle ay
