Chords

[Verse 1]
     G                 C
Let grasses grow, and waters flow,

      G             D7
In a free and easy way,

    G                      C
But give me enough of the fine old stuff

       G         D7     G
That's made near Galway Bay.
[Chorus 1] N.C. Oh, peelers all, from Dongegal.
 Em
Galway and E-Trim too—

       D7            G                     C
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip

        G       D7       G
Of the real old Mountain Dew.
[Verse 2]
       G                          C
At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still

          G                     D7
Where the smoke curls up to the sky.

        G                          C
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell

             G       D7         G
That there's whiskey brewing nearby.
[Chorus 2] N.C. For it fills the air with odor rare,
      Em
And betwixt both me and you,

     D7                    G      C
When home you roll you can take a bowl

     G             D7       G
Or a bucket of the mountain dew.
[Verse 3]
    G               C
Now learned men who use the pen

       G                  D7
Who've wrote your praises high,

     G                             C
This sweet 'pocheen' (potion) from Ireland's green

   G           D7        G
Distilled from wheat and rye.
[Chorus 3] N.C. Throw away your pills—it'll cure all ills
   Em
Of pagan or Christian, Jew.

     D7                G         C
Take off your coat and free your throat

         G        D7       G
With the real old Mountain Dew.
