WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME 3/4 (Capo on 5th fret)

D      A       G    D   
I am a true born Irishman
D         A         D
I'll never deny what I am
D              A            G          D
I was born in a sweet Tipperary town
D             A        D
Three thousand miles away

-Chorus-
D         A       D
So hurray, me boys, hurray
D             A              G  A
No more do I wish for to roam
D                 A              G        D
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
D               A      D
For to welcome poor Paddy home

D                A      D
Now the girls they are gay and frisky
D              A       G A
They'll take you by the hand
D               A           G          D
Saying Jimmy mo chroi would you come home with me
D                A        D
For to welcome poor Paddy home

-Chorus-

Well, in came the foreign nation
And scattered all over the land
The horse and the cow, and the goat, sheep and sow
Fell into the stranger's hand

-Chorus-

Now Scotland can boast of the thistle
And England can boast of the rose
And Paddy can boast his old Emerald Isle
Where his dear little shamrock grows.

-Chorus-
