True Irishman song lyrics and guitar chords
written by Edward Connors from the Soairse Irish Band, the guitar chords are courtesy of Marc Fahrbach. This song uses just two chords, there is a riff [music intermission that takes a different form from the medley] in the middle of the song. Play the Am chord for this part of the song. This is a very catch song, once it gets into your head it's very hard to get out. You can always change the guitar chords here if they don't fit your voice.The melody/tune is not written in the naturally Irish folk style which is a welcome break. A great piece of songwriting.
