Andy Irvine - Longford Weaver Chords

[Verse 1]
G               C
For five long quarters I have been weaving
     F      C                  G
And for my weaving I was paid down
            C
I bought a shirt in the foremost fashional
 F       C          G             C
For to march up through Longford Town

          F                       C
I walked up and through Longford city
       F       C                   G
where Nancy’s Whiskey I chanced to smell
             C
I thought it fun for to go and taste some
     F         C        G              C
For five long quarters I’ve loved her well

[Verse 2]
G            C
I entered into a little alehouse
 F              C                  G
Begged Nancy’s pardon for makin free
            C
and Nancy met me at every corner
       F       C          G             C
You’re hearty welcome, young man says she

             F                  C
We both sat down at a little table
     F       C                    G
looked at each other for a little while
             C
We both sat down at a little table
   F        C        G         C
And Nancy’s whiskey did me beguile


[Verse 3]
G           C
I found meself in a little parlor
     F      C                  G
I found meself then in a little bed
            C
I tried to rise, but I was not able
     F       C       G             C
For Nancy’s whiskey held down my head

          F                       C
When I arose aye the following morning
     F       C                    Am
I asked what reckoning I had to pay
 G            C
It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
    F         C          G        C
Now pay it quickly son and get away


[Verse 4]
G          C
I put my hand into my pocket
     F    C              G
For any money I laid it down
              C
It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
     F       C       G          C
And all remaining was a half a crown

          F                       C
I looked up and looked out the window
       F       C                    Am
and there a fair maid I chanced to spy
 G            C
I called her in, spent two and tupence
    F       C        G            C
and all remaining was a crooked boy


[Verse 5]
G           C
I put the money out on the table
       F            C                 G
Saying I leave this money here with the rest
            C
And I’ll drink a health to every young man
     F       C       G          C
And all the lassies that I love best

          F                       C
I’ll go home and resume my weaving
       F       C                    Am
I’ll steer me shuttle another while (?)
 G        C
And if I live to another season
  F      C           G        C
Nancy’s Whiskey will not me beguile
