Great Big Sea – Old Browns Daughter (Guitar)

      C             G            F            C
There is an ancient party at the other end of town.

   F                                     C                 G
He keeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is Brown.

   F                             C             G
He has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw.

      C             F             G                C
Oh, I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.

    C                G                  F            C
Old Brown sells from off his shelf most anything you please.

         F                               C             G
He's got juice hops for the little boys, lollipops and cheese.

    F                                   C                G
His daughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her serve.

    C            F                G                C
I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve.

         F                         C
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.

F                          C           G
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.

  F                         Am            C
I wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.

    F                           G           C
And blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

F                           G           C
Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

     C        G             F                C
Well poor Old Brown now has trouble with the gout.

   F                              C                   G
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out.

    F                                 C                G
And when I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the change...

     C                 F             G            C
That girl she makes me pulverized, I feel so very strange.

         F                         C
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.

F                          C           G
Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any pearl.

Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.

     C                    G              F            C
Miss Brown, she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word.

        F                                  C            G
Oh, but Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord.

      F                              C                   G
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be...

        C            F              G            C
But, by jingo, next election I will run for Trinity!

         F                         C
And it's Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl.

Blow me if I wouldn't marry Old Brown's girl.
