Another Irish Drinking Song (cover)

Here is the tab I used for this song: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/da_vincis_notebook/another_irish_drinki...

Use that and my video to learn it, and you can play, too! Trust me, it's not hard! But the words are... Good luck with that!

This is an a cappella song by Da Vinci's Notebook. As you can see, my version is not a cappella. Also, it's just a little bit different, but I tried to keep the lyrics the same.

Speaking of which:

-----

Gather 'round, ye lads and lasses, set ye for awhile;
Hearken to me mournful tale of the Emerald Isle.
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone,
And lift our voices in another Irish drinking song!

Consumption took me mother and me father got the pox,
Me brother drank the whiskey 'til he wound up in a box.
Me other brother in the troubles met with his demise,
Me sister has forever closed her simlin' Irish eyes.

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Kenny was killed in Kilkenny and Claire, she died in Clare.
Tip from Tipperary died out in the Derry air.
Shannon jumped into the river Shanon back in June,
Ernie fell into the Erne and Tom is in the Toome.

"Cleanliness is godliness," me Uncle Pat would sing.
He broke his neck a slippin' on a bar of Irish Spring.
O'Grady, he was eighty though his bride was just a pup;
He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Irish up.

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Joe Murphy fought with Reilly on the banks of old Doneen,
He took out his shillelagh and he stabbed him in the spleen.
Crazy Uncle Mike believed he was a leprechaun;
In fact, he's just a leper, and his arms and legs are gone.

When Timmy Johnson broke his neck, it was a cryin' shame.
He wasn't really Irish, but he went to Notre Dame.
MacNamara crossed the street and by a bus was hit,
But he was just a Scotsman, so nobody gave a-- Augh!

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar,
The road rose up to meet him as he fell out of his car.
Irony was what befell me Great-Grand-Uncle Sam;
He choked upon the very last potato in the land.

Connor lived in Ulster town, he used to smuggle arms
Until the British caught him and cut off his lucky charms.
Dear old Father Flanagan, who left the Lord's employ
Drunk on sacramental wine beneath the altar boy.

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Someday soon I'll leave this world of pain and toil and sin,
The Lord will take me by the hand to see all of me kin.
I only wish that when the Savior comes for me and you
He kills the cast of Riverdance, and Michael Flatley too!

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Now everybody's died,
So until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink
And then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight
Until the early morning light,
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.

Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again.
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up,
And then go drinking once again!

You can't really tell, but I'm wearing a festive shirt. It has a shamrock on it and says, "I'm not lucky, I'm good." Heh.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

@wesmatron Good suggestion!

[wesmatron]

@777DarkLink777 :) Personally, if I were finger-picking this I'd stick a capo at 2nd fret and play in C (so it would actually be in D) but the C, F, and G shapes have good bass notes for picking, but if just strumming it I'd do it like you have in D with no capo.

@wesmatron Oh hey, you're right. o.o My bad. I guess I played it a bit differently than the tab... huh. Thanks for pointing that out!

[wesmatron]

@777DarkLink777 Except you're playing D, A, and G :)
