Easy And Slow Lyrics Chords

From the research I have done as to the writer of this song , it would appear that Seán O'Casey and Dominic Behan wrote it. If you have any further information about the author let me know. It would be safe to assume that Jim McCann made it famous. Jim McCann's biggest success in relation to his singing career was from the recording of the Grace song . Easy And Slow Sheet Music .

It[D] was down by Christ[A] Church that I[D] first met with Annie
A neat little girl and[G] not a bit[D] shy
She[D] told me her father had come[G] from Dun[D]gannon
And would take her back home in the[A] sweet bye and [D]bye

And[G] what's that to any man, whether o[D]r no
[G]Whether I'm easy, or[D] whether I'm[A] true
As I[G] lifted her petticoat, easy and[D] slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to[G] buckle her[D] shoe

And well made for holding, the most of the while
But any young fellow is really a fool
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far

We wandered by Thomas Street, down to the Liffey
The sunlight was gone, and the evening grew dark
Along Whitemans Bridge, and by God in a jiffy
My arm was around her, beyond in the park

You can search till your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be you sitting or walking or sporting or standing
Another like Annie you never will find

Here's the chords for the key of G Major.

She[G] told me her father had come[C] from Dun[G]gannon
And would take her back home in the[D] sweet bye and [G]bye

And[C] what's that to any man, whether o[G]r no
[C]Whether I'm easy, or[G] whether I'm[D] true
As I[C] lifted her petticoat, easy and[G] slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to[C] buckle her[G] sho
