My grandfathers accordion lyrics and chords by Jack Keogh
My grandfather's accordion still plays those notes today
He played The Reels Of Kerry and all the Irish tunes
You'll hear the notes are ringing out as you move from rome to room
All the neighbours gathered 'round to listed for the night
And when he played The Galway Shawl it would end with daylight.
Chorus
My grandfather's accordion's full of mystery and bright
He played it 'till the early hours which everyone admired
He put it down upon his knee and he would start playing
My grandfather's accordion still plays those notes today.
With a hat upon his head and a pipe stuck in his mouth
He told us all great stories every time that he was out
He had a good ''One Liner'' whatever the case may be
And we would all be happy to be in his company.
Repeat chorus.
Oh the beat of the bodhran and the fiddle in full flight
Old pops got out his box and played with all his might
The party it would start and the sparks flew from the ground
With the dancing of the hub-nailed boots, ah were dancing at each sound.
Repeat chorus twice.
Ah that's the job
He played The Reels Of Kerry and all the Irish tunes
You'll hear the notes are ringing out as you move from rome to room
All the neighbours gathered 'round to listed for the night
And when he played The Galway Shawl it would end with daylight.
