i tabbed it 2 steps up: CF CG7 Oh list' to the lay of a poor Irish harper, AmF CF And scorn not the strings in his old withered hands, CF AmG7 But remember those fingers, they once could move sharper, AmF C-Gsus4-C To raise up the strains of his dear native land. CF CG7 It was long before the shamrock, dear Isle's lovely emblem, AmF CF Was crushed in its beauty by the Saxon's lion paw, CF AmG7 And all the pretty colleens around me would gather, AmF C-Gsus4-C Called me their bold Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh. CF CG7 How I love to muse on the days of my boyhood, AmF CF Though four score and three years have fled by since then. CF AmG7 Still it gives sweet reflection, as every young joys should, AmF C-Gsus4-C For the merry-hearted boys make the best of old men. CF CG7 At a fair or a wake I would twist my shillelagh, AmF CF And trip through a dance with my brogues tied with straw. CF AmG7 There all the pretty maidens around me would gather, AmF C-Gsus4-C Called me their bold Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh. CF CG7 In truth I have wandered this wide world over, AmF CF Yet Ireland's my home and a dwelling for me. CF AmG7 And, oh, let the turf that my old bones shall cover AmF C-Gsus4-C Be cut from the land that is trod by the free. CF CG7 And when Sergeant Death in his cold arms doth embrace me, AmF CF And lulls me to sleep with old 'Erin-go-Bragh', CF AmG7 By the side of my Kathleen, my dear pride, oh, place me, AmF C-Gsus4-C Then forget Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh.
