The Irish Rovers Songs

1/6/2015

I will soon launch a new section for The Irish Rovers Lyrics And Chords. There are a rake of songs by this Canadian / Irish ballad group already on the site, most of which were sent in by Marc over the years, and guess what ? Marc has started to place chords to more of the groups songs. If you are a fan of the band and have any of the lyrics and chords will you please send them into me. Please don't copy chords that are on other sites as this site prides itself on getting unique content first.

I've been looking for lyrics/chords for a song from the Irish Rovers Unicorn Album (1973). the song on the album is called "HIring Fair". If you know of it I would appreciate any help in finding it.
Thanks.

The Irish Rovers play this in the key of Eb. Here's the chords
in an easy version of D.

He said, [D]"You're welcome with me, Johnny. And you're with a decent [A]man."
But little I knew what I had to do for Grady of Stra[D]van.

As I went down to the Hiring Fair in a place they call the [A]Strand,
Twas there I hired for seven long years with Grady of [D]Stravan.
And before I went and hired with him, he was very nice to [A]me.
He promised me eggs and bacon, and he then shook [D]hands with me,

Saying "You're welcome with me, Johnny. And you're with a decent [A]man."
But little I knew what I had to do for Grady of Stra[D]van.

[D]When I went up to my bed that night, I let out an awful [A]bawl.
For the fleas they made a fierce attack, and I got no sleep at [D]all.

When I came down for my breakfast, what do you think I [A]see,
But a dozen squawling children saying "Is there anything there for [D]me?"
