Irish Lyrics And Chords
 
 
 

Here is an old Irish traditional Folk song.

It's A Long Way To Tipperary


G                                                                    D
Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day,

G                                                          F#                          B
As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ryone was gay!

G                                         F#                              B
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square,

     B7                                         A          A7         D
'til Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there:


G                                                       C                  G
It's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go,

                                               B  E     A                      D
It's a long way to Tipperary to the sweetest girl I know!

G                               C                             B7
Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square!

          G              C                   G             A                D       G
It's a long, long way to Tipperary, but my heart's right there.


CHORUS AGAIN



G                                                          D
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O',

G                                                     F#                       B
saying, "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!

G                                              F#                      B
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he,

     B7                                                       A         A7            D
remember it's the pen, that's bad, don't lay the blame on me".

CHORUS TWICE

There are Irish songs and more. 
If you buy some downloads you will help to support an old musician.
This is a wonderful idea!
