Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Catch Me If You Can (C O'Connor)
Subject: Chords Add: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
The correct title is CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, and Brakn is closest to getting the words "right." I haven't heard the song in probably 15 years, but I remember that Brendan Shine recorded it. You can find the song on at least one of his albums (The Brendan Shine Collection). Here's a website to check out.

I think the chords go something like this:

       C                  F
I'm a podjean, from Tullawodgean
(or I'm a culchie from Tullawulchie)
C D D7 G
I've got money and a - a -cres of land
G7 C F
And I'm looking for a honey, with a bit of money
C G7
Catch me if you can, me name is Dan
C
Sure I'm your man.
G G7
And I'm off to Lisdoonvarna
C G C
At the end of the year
C
I'm off for a bit of craic
D7 G7
The women and the beer
C
And I'm awful shifty
F
For a lad of fifty
C G
Catch me if you can, me name is Dan
C
Sure I'm your man.
I'm not at my piano, so the above chords are off the top of my head. I think they're pretty close, though.

Let me know.
