This is a must ot play in Irish pubs. Here are the chords and lyrics for this old traditional Irish folk song

I'll Tell My Ma

chorus:
      
 I'll tell my ma when I go home
         C                                 D
 The boys won't leave the girls alone
           G              
 They pulled my hair and they stole my comb
        C                        D
 But that's alright 'til I go home.
 

verses:

 G                           C             
 She is handsome she is pretty
 G                           D
 She is the belle of Belfast City
 G                      C
 She is courting 1, 2, 3,
 G                          D         G
 Please won't you tell me who is She?  CHORUS
 
 G                         C 
 Here she comes as white as snow
 G                                      D
 Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
 G                                C
 Oh Jenny Murray she says she'll die
           G                        D                     G
 If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye  CHORUS
 
             G
 Let the wind and rain and the hail blow high
              C                               D
 And thesnow come tumbling from the sky
 G
 She's as nice as apple pie
 C                                  D
 She'll get her own lad by and by 
 G                  
 When she gets a lad of her own
         C                              D
 She won't tell her ma 'til she comes home
 G                           C
 Let them all come as they will
             G        D           G
 For it's Albert Mooney she loves still  CHORUS
