[D]

[Verse 1]
I've [D]won a room,
how sad [G]is our lot
Since the landlord [D]turned
us out of our [Csus2]car
It was [D]in this wide world a hap[G]piest spot
On the hillside [D]alone [Csus2]in the co[D]rner
It was covered [G]all [C]over
[G]with bright yellow [D]straw
And the walls were as white
as the snowflakes agrow
[Csus2]You could make a fi[D]ne picture
for painter[G]s to draw
From the boring [D]outside [Csus2]on the co[D]rner
It was handsome outside,
it was pretty [G]within
The shells [D]shone like silver,
the plates made of [C]tin
Cast [D]a handsome reflection
when the sun[G]beam shone in
Through the window [D]above in the corner
Each [G]night by [C]the fireside
my [G]mother [D]would knit
And [G]close [D]by her sid[G]e
[D]my father would sit
[Csus2]And the stori[D]es he'd tell
when his [G]duty was lit
And he's smoking away [D]in the corner
When the supper was over
the neigh[G]bours came in
Each sat by [D]the tar [G]fire
[D]and roasted his shi[Csus2]n
An[D]d the boys and the girls
they [G]thought it no sin
For to laugh and [D]to chat in the corner
When [G]Jimmy the [C]Piper
[Csus2]stepped i[G]n on the floor,
[D]The[G] boys and the girls
all [D]rushed to [Csus2]the door.
And [D]as out to the barn they brought [G]him,
I'm sure,
And touched him [D]right up in the [G]core.[D][G][D][C][Csus2][D][G]
[D][G][D][Dsus4][D][G][C][G][D][G]
[D][G][C][Csus2][D][G][C][D]
Those days have now gone
Those [G]times have passed by
From mornin' [D]to night [G]I
[D]have many's a sigh
[Csus2]And my though[C]ts [D]back again
to old Erin do [G]fly
And the dear little [D]cot [Csus2]in the co[D]rner
Oh, [G]father and [C]mother,
I'll [G]ne 'er see you more
[D]For [G]between you and me
the At[D]lantic does roar
[Csus2]And I hope [D]that we'll all
meet in [G]heaven's door
Farewell to [D]the cot [Csus2]in the co[D]rner
