Look At The Coffin / Isn't It Grand Boys lyrics and chords
An Irish folk song about a wake. The sheet music in the key of D for Tin Whistle is included. The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem song lyrics and guitar chords. I have given 2 sets of chords. The second version in the key of D Major is the same key that The Clancy's sing the song in the youtube video.

[G]Look at the coffin, with silver[C] handles
Isn't it[G] grand, boys, to be bloody well[D] dead? [Chorus] [G]Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a[C] bloody good [G]cry And always re[C]member, the[G] longer you live The[D] sooner you'll bloody well[G] die. Look at the widow, bloody great woman... Look at the mourners, bloody great hypocrites.. Look at the preacher, bloody well sanctified... Look at the choir boys, bloody young faggots... |
