Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]At [G]the [Em]Charl[A]en[D]ey's ball,
people [G]said one [Em]and all
You're the [A]belle of the ball, Mrs. [D]Mulligan
We had [Em]one steps a[A]nd two steps
and the [D]devil knows [Bm]what new steps
We [E]swore that we'd never be [A]dull again
We [D]had a wine parter [Bm]and l[Em]em onade
[A]We had [D]cocktails [Bm]and cocoa and a[E]ll
[A]We had [D]champagne [Em]that night
and we'd [D]real pain [G]next mornin'
[D]The night that we danced
[Em]at t[A]he Charladies' b[D]all[G][Em][A][D]
At the Charladies' dance,
[G]how the people did [Em]prance
At [A]the head of the [Em]mall, Mr[D]s Mulligan
And she danced [Em]by herself
[A]while asleep on [D]the she[Bm]lf
Lay her [E]husband, the fool,
who [A]was full again
We had a [D]wine [Bm]parter and lemon[Em]ade
[A]We had cock[D]tails and [Bm]cocoa and all
[E]We [A]had champagne [D]that nig[Em]ht
and [D]we'd real pain next [G]mornin'
The night [D]that we danced
at [A]the Charladies [D]Ball[G][D][A][D]
Well, the Charladies Ball
ended [G]up in a brawl
[Em]And the [A]cause of it's all
Mrs. [D]Mulligan
Young [Em]Sean was [A]the fellow
who [D]turned blue [Bm]and yellow
When old [E]Mulligan's fist
smashed his [A]skull again
We poured [D]our wine, porter[Bm],
and [Em]lemon[A]ade
Into [D]cocktails and co[Bm]coa and a[E]ll[A]
We had [D]great fun [Em]that night
and we'd [D]real pain [G]next mornin'
[D]The night that we danced
at the [A]Challenay's [D]ball
