Gordon Bok – Fiddler Of Dooney (Guitar)

       G                    A
When I play on my fiddle in Dooney

     G
Folk dance like a wave on the sea

                          A
My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet

   G                   A
My brother in Moharabuiee

                G           Am
Oh, I passed my brother and cousin

                   G        Am
They read in their books of prayer

        C    G          C       Em
Ah, but I, I read in my book of songs

        Am            E     Am     A
Which I bought at the Sligo fair

        G                      A
When we come to the end of our time

         G
To Saint Peter, all sitting in state

                               A
He will smile on the three old spirits

    G                         A
But pass me first through the gate

                 G          Am
For the good are always the merry

           G    Am
Save by an evil chance

        C     G        C       Em
And the merry love the fiddle, aye

        Am    E       Am      A
And the merry love to dance

    G                          A
Oh, when all the folk up there spy me

          G
They will all come and gather round me

                                A
Saying, "Here is the fiddler of Dooney!"

        G                        A
They'll dance like a wave on the sea

                 G          Am
For the good are always the merry

           G    Am
Save by an evil chance

        C     G        C       Em
And the merry love the fiddle, aye

        Am    E       Am      A
And the merry love to dance

    G                          A
Oh, when all the folk up there spy me

          G
They will all come and gather round me

                                A
Saying, "Here is the fiddler of Dooney!"

        G                        A
They'll dance like a wave on the sea

        G                        A
They'll dance like a wave on the sea
