Golden Jubilee

    G                              
Way down in the county Kerry, in a 
                    C
place they call Tralee
                    G              
A grand old couple they lived 
   D              D7
there, Kate and Pat Magee.
           G                       
They were going to have a party on 
       C
their Golden Jubilee
     G                             
Now Kate she turned to Pat and said
 D              G
 listen here to me.

Chorus:
     G                             
“Put on your old knee-britches and 
                      C
your coat of emerald green,
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, 
    G               D
put on your old caipin.
       G                           
For today's our Golden wedding and 
                  C
I want you all to know,
     G                  C         
Just how we looked when we were 
   G      D     G
wed, fifty years ago”.

      G                          
It’s well that I remember, how we 
                       C
danced on the village green,
You held me in your arms, dear Pat, 
    D                  D7
and called me your cailin.
     G                           
Your hair was like a raven's wing 
                      C
but now it's turning grey,
      D            D7             
Come over here me sweetheart dear,
      D                G
 and listen to what I say.


Chorus:
     G                             
“Put on your old knee-britches and 
                      C
your coat of emerald green,
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, 
    G               D
put on your old caipin.
       G

    G                              
Oh how I do I remember, when first 
           C
I was you bride,
In the little chapel on the hill, 
      G                 D
where we stood side by side.
   G                               
Of good friends we've had many, of 
                    C
troubles we've had few,
                    G              
Come over here me sweetheart dear, 
           D            G
and here's what we must do.


Chorus:
     G                             
“Put on your old knee-britches and 
                      C
your coat of emerald green,
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, 
    G               D
put on your old caipin.
       G

                  C

     G                  C         
Just how we looked when we were 
   G      D     G
wed, fifty years ago”.
