Chords

[Intro] D A [Verse]
D
She stood beside my narrow bed

A             D
To check my E.K.G.

D
She shook her pretty little head

                    A 
At what’s become of me

D
I thought I glimpsed a path that led

Bm            A       D
Through rhododendron days

D
And fuchsia nights to the boatshed

A                     D
In which we two once lay
[Chorus]
Bm 
But she gazed only at my chart

          G                
The valleys and the peaks

G
Brought back the time she broke my heart

A                    D
In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Bm
But she gazed only at my chart

         G                 
The valleys and the peaks

G
Brought back the time she broke my heart

A                    D
In Macgillyduddy’s Reeks
[Verse]
D
I saw her on Killarney’s shore

A             D
One morning in July

D
When I still thought I was a thorn

                    A 
Trying to find a side

D
I met her in the little launch

Bm            A       D
That runs to Innisfallen

D
Hunched together, haunch to haunch

A                     D
Trying to keep my balance
[Chorus]
Bm 
But she upset my applecart

          G         
She kissed me on the cheek

G
And I was struck by Cupid’s dart

A                    D
In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Bm
Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

         G     
Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

G
I was struck by Cupid’s dart

A                    D
In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks
[Verse]
D
She was a systems analyst

A             D
For a dot com company

D
She said, “You think because we’ve kissed

                    A 
I’ll be yours eternally

D
I’ll sign another pre-nup

Bm            A       D
And we’ll merge our P.L.C.s

D
That’s why most girls go belly-up

A            D
In this economy
[Chorus]
Bm 
But when it comes to a jump start

          G         
Your forecast’s pretty bleak

G
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts

A                    D
Like Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Bm
Macgillucuddy’s Reeks

         G     
Macgillucuddy’s Reeks

G
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts

A                    D
Like Macgillycuddy’s Reeks”
