The Rocky Road To Dublin chords and lyrics - THE HIGH KINGS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
In the merry month of June
from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer,
me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn,
leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn
to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand new pair of brogues,
rattlin' o'er the bogs
Frightenin' all the dogs

[Chorus 1]
on the rocky road to Dublin
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and
turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 2]
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure
Keep me heart from sinking
That's the Paddy's cure
whenever he's on drinking
To see the lassies smile,
laughing all the while
At me curious style,
'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired,
wages I required 'Till I was nearly tired

[Chorus 2]
of the rocky road to Dublin
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and
turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 3]
In [Am]Dublin next arrived, arrived,
I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a [G]view of that fine city
Well [Am]then I took a stroll,
all among the quality
Bundle it was stole,
all [G]in a neat locality
[Em]Something crossed me mind,
when I looked behind
No bundle could I find
upon me stick a wobblin'
En[Em]quiring for the rogue,
said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue

[Chorus 3]
on the rocky road to Dublin
[Am]One two three four five
Hunt the Hare
and turn her down the rocky road
And [G]all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le [Am]rah!

[Verse 4]
From [Am]there I got away,
me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay,
just as the ship was sailing
The [Am]Captain at me roared,
said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard,
a cabin found for Paddy
[Em]Down among the pigs,
played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs,
the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead wished meself was dead
Or better far instead

[Chorus 4]
On the rocky road to Dublin
[Em]One two [G]three four f[Am]ive
Hunt the Hare
and turn her down the rocky road
And [G]all the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le [Am]rah!

[Verse 5]
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool,
I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil,
temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing
[Em]"Hurrah me soul!" says I, me shillelagh I let fly
Some Galway boys were nigh
and saw I was a hobble in
With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way

[Chorus 5]
for the rocky road to Dublin
[Em]One two [G]three four f[Am]ive
Hunt the Hare
and turn her down the rocky road
And [G]all the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le [Am]rah!
Hunt the Hare
and and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le rah!
Whack fol lol le rah!
Whack fol lol le rah
