Paddys Green Shamrock Shore Chords

(ver. 2)
Paul Brady
[Intro]
D    Dsus2    C    G   Dsus4        x2
 
[Verse 1]
    D               D             C          G     Dsus4    D
From Derry Quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May
   C         G            D      C         G
We were boarded by a pleasant crew bound for Americay
      D       Dsus2               D                         C       G
Fresh water there we did take on, five thousand gallons or more
        D             Dsus2                  C             G       Dsus4
In case we'd run short going to New York far away from the Shamrock Shore
 
[Verse 2]
    D               D             C          G     Dsus4    D
So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town
   C         G            D      C         G
And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground
      D       Dsus2               D                         C       G
If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store
        D             Dsus2                  C             G       Dsus4
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
 
[Verse 3]
    D               D             C          G     Dsus4    D
Well we sailed three days and we were all seasick, not a man on board was free
   C         G            D                  C         G
We were all confined unto our bunks with no one to pity poor me
      D       Dsus2               D                         C       G
No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t'was sore
        D             Dsus2                  C             G       Dsus4
Which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
 
[Verse 4]
    D               D             C          G     Dsus4    D
Well we safely reached the other side in three and twenty days
   C         G            D                  C         G
We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in six different ways
      D       Dsus2               D                         C       G
We each of us drank a parting glass in case we might never meet more
        D             Dsus2                  C             G       Dsus4
And we drank a health to Old Ireland and Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
 
[Verse 5]
    D               D             C          G     Dsus4    D
So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town
   C         G            D      C         G
And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground
      D       Dsus2               D                         C       G
If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store
        D             Dsus2                  C             G       Dsus4
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
