Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
Tim [G]Finnegan lived in Watling Street
A [E]gentle Irishman mighty odd
He'd a [C]beautiful brogue so rich and sweet
To [G]rise in the world he [D]carried a hod
[G]See he'd sort of a tippling way
With [E]love for a liquor poor Tim was born
To [C]help him on with his work every day
He'd a [G]drop of the Craythor [D]every [G]morn'

[Verse 2]
One [G]morning Tim was rather full
His [E]head felt heavy, which made him shake
[C]Fell from the ladder and broke his skull
So they [G]carried him home, his [D]corpse to wake
[G]Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And [E]laided him upon the bed
A [C]bottle of whiskey at his feet
And a [G]gallon of porter [D]at his head

[Chorus 1]
And [G]whack Fol-De-Dah
now [E]dance to your partner
[C]Welt the floor, your [D]trotters shake
[G]Wasn't it the [E]truth I told you
[C]Lots of fun at [D]Finnegan's wake

[Verse 3]
His [G]friends assembled at his wake
And [E]Missus Finnegan called for lunch
[C]First they brought in tea and cake
Then [G]pipes, tobacco and [D]whiskey punch
[G]Biddy O'Brien begged to cry
Such a [E]nice clean corpse
did you ever see
[C]Tim mavourneen why did you die?
[G]Hold your gob said [D]Paddy MCGee

[Chorus 2]
And [G]whack Fol-De-Dah
now [E]dance to your partner
[C]Welt the floor, your [D]trotters shake
[G]Wasn't it the [E]truth I told you
[C]Lots of fun at [D]Finnegan's wake

[Verse 4]
Then [G]Peggy O'Connor took up the job
[B]Biddy she says you're wrong I'm sure
[C]Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob
And [D]left her sprawling on the floor
[G]Then the war did soon engage
[B]Woman to woman and man to man
[C]Shillelah-law was all the rage
An a [D]row and a ruction soon began

[Verse 5]
[G]Mickey Maloney he raised his head
When a [B]bottle of whiskey flew at him
It [C]missed him falling on the bed
The [D]liquor scattered over Tim
[G]Tim revives, see how he rises
[B]Timothy rising from the bed
[C]Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
[G]Tonamondeal, do you [D]think I'm dead?

[Chorus 3]
And [G]whack Fol-De-Dah
now [E]dance to your partner
[C]Welt the floor, your [D]trotters shake
[G]Wasn't it the [E]truth I told you
[C]Lots of fun at [D]Finnegan's wake

[Chorus 4]
And [G]whack Fol-De-Dah
now [E]dance to your partner
[C]Welt the floor, your [D]trotters shake
[G]Wasn't it the [E]truth I told you
[C]Lots of fun at [D]Finnegan's [G]wake
