[Verse 1]
[G]Now,
Denny
O [C]'Rafferty's motorcar
is the [A]greatest, [D]I d[G]eclare.
It's made up of [C]bits and [G]pieces
that he [A]picked up here and [D]there.
The [C]engine [A]must be ages old, but
it's still got [D]lots of [G]power.
With the gallon, stout, and the [C]petzl
tank, it does [G]90 [D]miles [G]an hour.
Oh, what a wonderful motorcar,
it's the [D]greatest ever [G]seen.
It used to be [C]black as me father's
hat, now it's [A]forty shades of [D]green
On
TV [C]and the [G]radio and in [D]every public bar
[G]The burning question of the day is
[A]Rafferty's [D]motor[G]car
Now two of the [C]wheels are triangular
and the [G]third [D]one's off a [G]pram
The fourth is the [C]last re
[G]maining wheel from [A]off a
Dublin [D]tram
The [C]number plates in
Gaelic [E]and the [D]plugs won't even [G]spark
And the chassis came off of a tinker's
car that col[D]lapsed in
Phoenix
[G]Park
Now go for a [C]ride in the motorcar and
[A]you'll end up [D]with the [G]shakes
The road from
Cork to
Dublin is a [A]vale of pains [D]and aches
When [C]traffic lights turn [Bm]red the hedge,
at [A]best, jump [D]out the [G]door
For the moment that any thread's on the brakes,
his [D]foot'll go through the [G]floor
Oh, what a wonderful motorcar,
it's the [D]greatest ever [G]seen
It used to be [C]black as me father's
[G]hat, now it's [A]forty shades of [D]green
On
[C]TV and the [G]radio [C]and in [D]every public [G]bar
The burning question of the day is
[A]Rafferty's [D]motor[G]car[Ab]
Now if you could [C#]see the upholstery,
[Ab]your eyes [Bb]would star[Eb]t to pop[Ab]
It's nothing but [C#]empty [Ab]beer crates
with a [Bb]load of sacks on [Eb]top
The windscreen's [Bb]gone to
[C]Lord knows [F]where and there's
[Bb]mud balls [Eb]in the [Ab]horn
And I reckon he'd only get [Db]half
a quid if he [Eb]took it to the [Ab]pond
Now
Denny was [Db]driving [Ab]around last
week when the [Bb]engine [Eb]did the [Ab]splits
It went up in [Db]smoke and [Ab]nearly blew
O [Bb]'Connell
Street in [Eb]bits
They [Db]searched [Bbm]around for
[C]Denny and [Cm]found he'd
[Bb]landed [Eb]up by h[Ab]eck
Away up on top of the
GPO with his
[Eb]LP sound in hi[Ab]s neck
Oh, what a wonderful motorcar,
it's the greatest [Eb]ever [Ab]seen
It used to be [Db]black as me father's
[F]hat, now it's [Bb]forty shades of [Eb]green
On
TV [Bbm]and the ra[Cm]dio and in ev[Bb]ery pu[Eb]b lic ba[Ab]r
The burning question of the [Fm]day is
[Bb]Rafferty's [Eb]mother[Ab]

[Outro 1]
