 3/4 (Capo on 5th fret)
D      A       G    D   
I am a true born Irishman
D         A         D
I'll never deny what I am
D              A            G          D
I was born in sweet Tipperary town
D             A        D
Three thousand miles away
 
-Chorus-
D         A       D
Hurray me boys hurray
D             A              G  A
No more do I wish for to roam
D                 A              G        D
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
D               A      D
To welcome poor Paddy home
 
D                A      D
The girls thay are gay and frisky
D              A       G A
They'd take you by the hand
D               A           G          D
Saying Jimmy mo chroi will you come with me
D                A        D
To welcome the stranger home
 
-Chorus-
 In came the foreign nation
And scattered all over the land
The horse, the cow, the goat, sheep and sow
Came into the stranger's hands
 
-Chorus-
 The Scotsman can boast of the thistle
And England can boast of the rose
But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle
Where the dear little shamrock grows.
