The Broad Majestic Shannon Lyrics And Guitar Chords
By The Pogues Written By Shane MacGowan. one of my favorite Pogues songs ever. The chords here in the key of D Major are the same ones The Pogues use for the song. Also recorded by Liam Clancy. Also included is a video showing the tin whistle notes.
[D]The last time I saw you was[G] down at the [D]Greeks
There was whiskey on Sunday and [G]tears on our[D] cheeks
You sang me a song as pure as the [G]breeze
On the [D] road to [G]Glena[A]veigh
I [D]sat for a while at the [G]cross at [D]Finnoe
Where young lovers would meet when the [G]flowers were in[D] bloom
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shin[G]rone
Their[D] hearts in Tippe[G]rary wher[A]ever they[D] go
[D]Take my hand, and dry your [G]tears[A] babe
Take my [D]hand, forget your [G]fears[A] babe
There's no [D]pain, there's no more [G]sorr[A]ow
They're all [D]gone, gone in the [G]years [A]babe
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
There was whiskey on Sunday and [G]tears on our[D] cheeks
You sang me a song as pure as the [G]breeze
On the [D] road to [G]Glena[A]veigh
I [D]sat for a while at the [G]cross at [D]Finnoe
Where young lovers would meet when the [G]flowers were in[D] bloom
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shin[G]rone
Their[D] hearts in Tippe[G]rary wher[A]ever they[D] go
[D]Take my hand, and dry your [G]tears[A] babe
Take my [D]hand, forget your [G]fears[A] babe
There's no [D]pain, there's no more [G]sorr[A]ow
They're all [D]gone, gone in the [G]years [A]babe
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
