Sullivan's John Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]O'Sullivan John
to the road you're [F]gone,
far [D]away from your [G]native land,
You've gon with the
tinker's [F]daughter[D]
far [G]along the road to roam,
O'Sullivan John [F]you wont stick it [G]long
till your belly will soon be slack,
As you roam the road with a mighty [F]loan,
and [G]a tool box on your back.

[Verse 2]
[G]
I met Katie Coffee with her neat [F]baby,
be[G]hind [D]on her back strapped [G]on,
She'd an old ash plant [F]in her [G]hand
to drive the donkey along,
Enquiring at every [F]farmers [G]house, as
along the road she passed,
And it's where would you get an
old pot to [F]mend,
and [G]where would she get an ass.

[Verse 3]
[G]
There's a hairy ass fair in the County [F]Clare
in [G]a place [D]they call Spancil Hill,
[G]Where my brother James got
a [F]wrap of [G]a haimes,
and poor Paddy they tried to kill,
They loaded him up in an [F]old ass and cart
[G]while Kate and big Mary looked on,
Ah, bad luck to the day that I went away,
[F]to[G][F][D]
[G][F][G]
[F][G][F]
[G]joi[F]n[G]
with [F]the[G][F][D][G]
[F]tinkers [G]band.
