Intro Verse: (clean)
Tim BFinnegan lived in Watling Street, a G#gentle Irishman - Mighty odd
He'd a Ebeautiful brogue so rich and sweet,
To Brise in the world, he F#carried a hod,
You Bsee he'd sort of a Trippling way:
With G#love for a liquor poor Tim was born,
To Ehelp him on with his work each day,
He'd a Bdrop of the Craythor F#every morn'...B

Verse 1: (ring out chords)
One Bmorning Tim was rather full, his G#head felt heavy, which made him shake,
EFell from the ladder and broke his skull,
So they Bcarried Him home, his F#corpse to wake
BRolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and G#laid him out upon the bed,
A Ebottle of whiskey at his feet, and a Bgallon of Porter F#at his head
Chorus:
And Bwhack Fol-De-Dah now G#dance to your partner,
EWelt the floor, ByourF# trotters shake
BWasn't it the G#truth I told
Ye Elots of fun Bat F#Finnegan's Wake
Verse 2: (ring out)
His Bfriends assembled at his wake, and G#Missus Finnegan called for lunch
EFirst they brought in tea and cake, then Bpipes, tobacco and F#whiskey punch
BBiddy O'Brien begged to cry, such a G#nice clean corpse that you ever did see
ETim brother, hey why did you die' Arrah Bhold your gob see F#Patty Magee
Chorus x1
Break:
B WhoEah,F#oh,ooBoh x2
Verse 3:
Then BPeggy O'Connor took up the job, G#Biddy she says ye're wrong I'm sure
EBiddy then gave her a belt on the gob and Bleft her sprawling F#on the floor
BThen the war did soon engage, G#Woman to Woman and Man to Man
ShilElelah-law was all the rage, an' a Brow and a ruction Esoon began
BMickey Maloney raised his head, when a G#bottle Of whiskey flew at him,
It Emissed him falling on the bed, the F#liquor scattered over Tim,
BTim revives, see how he rises, G#Timothy rising from the bed
EWhirl your whisky around like blazes, &F#quot;Tonamondeal, do ye think I'm dead'"
Chorus x2
