[Intro Verse] (clean)
B G#
Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street, a gentle Irishman - Mighty odd
E
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet,
B F#
To rise in the world, he carried a hod,
B
You see he'd sort of a Trippling way:
G#
With love for a liquor poor Tim was born,
E
To help him on with his work each day,
B F# B
He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'...

[Verse 1] (ring out chords)
B G#
One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy, which made him shake,
E
Fell from the ladder and broke his skull,
B F#
So they carried Him home, his corpse to wake
B G#
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed,
E B F#
A bottle of whiskey at his feet, and a gallon of Porter at his head
[Chorus]
B G#
And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner,
E B F#
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
B G#
Wasn't it the truth I told
E B F#
Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 2] (ring out)
B G#
His friends assembled at his wake, and Missus Finnegan called for lunch
E B F#
First they brought in tea and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
B G#
Biddy O'Brien begged to cry, such a nice clean corpse that you ever did see
E B F#
Tim brother, hey why did you die? Arrah hold your gob see Patty Magee
[Chorus]
