G/// Am/// D/// G///

G
Oh, me name is MacNamara , I'm the leader of the band
C G A7 D7
Although we're few in numbers, we're the finest in the land
G
We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball
C G D7 G
And when we play the funerals, we play the March from Saul
[Chorus]
G
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
C G A7 D7
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play
G
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
C G D7 G
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[Interlude]
G/// Am/// D/// G///

G
Right now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair

The annual celebration, all the gentry will be there
G
When General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand
C G D7 G
Says he, I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band
[Chorus]
G
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away

McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play
G
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand

G
Oh, my name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come
C G A7 D7
To play with MacNamara's Band and beat the big bass drum
G
And when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand
C G D7 G
They shout, there's Uncle Julius playing with an Irish band
G
Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green
