[Am][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
I'll [Am]tell you a story that happened to me
One [G]day as I went out to Youghal by the Sea
The [Am]sun it was bright and the [C]day it was w[G]arm
Says [Am]I, A quiet pi[G]nt wouldn't do[Am] me no [G]har[Am]m
I went in to the barman, I says give me a stout
Says the [G]barman,
I'm sorry all the beer tis sold out
Try [Am]whiskey or vodka, ten [C]years in the [G]wood
Says [F]I, I'll try [G]cider, I [Am]heard that [G]it's [Am]good

[Chorus 1]
Oh [Am]never, oh never, oh never again
If I [G]live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
I [Am]fell to the ground and I [C]couldn't get [G]up
After [Am]drinking a [G]pint
of the [Am]Johnny [G]Jump [F]Up
[Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
After [Am]lowering the third I headed
strait for the yard
Where I [G]bumped into Brophy
the big civic guard
Come [Am]here to me boy
don't you [C]know we're in the [G]law
Well I [Am]upped with my [G]fist
and I [Am]shot to [G]his [Am]jaw
He fell to the ground
with his knees doubled up
But it [G]T'wasnt I hit him
t'was the Johnny Jump Up
And the [Am]next thing I met down
in [C]Youghal by the [G]Sea
was a [F]cripple on [G]crutches,
and [Am]says he [G]to [Am]me
I'm afraid o' me life I'll be hit by a car
Would you [G]help me across
to the Railwayman's Bar
And [Am]after three pints of the [C]cider so [G]sweet
He [F]threw down his crutch[G]es
and he [Am]danced on [G]his [Am]feet

[Chorus 2]
Oh [Am]never, oh never, oh never again
If I [G]live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
'Cause I [Am]fell to the ground
and I [C]couldn't get [G]up
After [Am]drinking a [G]pint
of the [Am]Johnny [G]Jump [F]Up

[Verse 3]
Now I [Am]went up the Lee road a friend for to see
They [G]call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee
[Am]When I got up there, the [C]truth I do [G]tell
They [Am]had the poor bugg[G]er
locked [Am]up in h[G]is c[Am]ell
Says the guard testing him,
say these words if you can
'A[G]round the rugged rocks
the ragged rascal ran'
Tell [Am]them I'm not crazy, tell [C]them I'm not [G]mad
T'was [Am]only six [G]pints of that [Am]cider [G]I h[Am]ad
[Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
Now a [Am]man died in the Union
by the name of McNabb
They [G]washed him and placed him
outside on a slab
And [Am]after the corroner
his [C]measurements did [G]take
His [Am]wife took him [G]home
to a [Am]bloody [G]fine [Am]wake
'Twas about twelve o'clock
and the beer it was high
The [G]corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh
I [Am]can't get to heaven, they [C]won't let me [G]up
Till I [Am]bring them a [G]pint
of the [Am]Johnny [G]Jump [Am]Up

[Chorus 3]
Oh [Am]never, oh never, oh never again
If I [G]live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
'Cause I [Am]fell to the ground
and I [C]couldn't get [G]up
After [F]drinking a [G]pint
of the [Am]Johnny [G]Jump [Am]Up

[Chorus 4]
Oh [Am]never, oh never, oh never again
If I [G]live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
'Cause I [Am]fell to the ground
and I [C]couldn't get [G]up
After [F]drinking a [G]pint
of the [Am]Johnny [G]Jump [Am]Up
