Irish [Am]cousin[Dsus4]
[G]He looked [C]so happy [Am]then
[C]I can't belie[G]ve tha[C]t he's gone at all,
[G]my
[C]Irish [G]cousin[C]
[D]He said surprise,
[C]and I c[Bm]ould not be lie[C]ve my eyes
[D]When I saw [C]love, [D]yes I saw lov[G]e[D][E]
[F#m][Bsus4][B][E][B][E][F#m][B][Bsus4][B]

when I last [G]saw my
[C]Irish [G]cousin[C]
[D]We had a [C]row in every [G]bar [C]in
Dublin
But we [D]loved it because we [C]were equal
to [D]very lonely [Dsus4]people
[F]Oh, is it too late [C]to tell him how I [D]miss him?
I [B]can't remember kissing him good[E]bye,
[F#m]my[Bsus4][B][E]
Irish [F#m]cousin[Bsus4][B]
[G]I let h[D]im d[C]own s[G]o m[D]any times,

He let me cry, he let me shout,
he said [Dsus4]that's what it's all ab[D]out
[G]Here comes the moo[C]n again,
[G]makes me think [C]of when I last [G]saw my
[C]Irish cousin
[D]He made me [C]laugh beyond the [G]call [C]of duty and I loved [D]him,
[C]I'm so glad I told [D]him
But maybe that's what did him [G]in,
I [C]wouldn't put it past [G]him[C][G]
[C]My
Irish [G]cousin, [C]he [D]said surprise,
[C]and I c[G]ould not beli[C]eve my eyes wh[D]en I saw love,[C] yes I[Dsus4] saw love[D][Dsus4][G]
Now [C]I'm [G]in my
[C]Ir ish
