[Verse 1]

C      F         C    Am
I am a true born Irishman,
C               G         C
I will never deny what I am.
C      F           C         Am
I was born in the sweet Tipperary boys,
C              G       C
Three thousand miles away.


[Chorus]

C          G     C
Hurray, my boys, hurray.
C                         F
No more do I wish for to roam.
F        C            F          C        Am
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time,
C            G    C
To welcome Paddy Home.


[Verse 2]

C                     G                  C
The girls they are young and they're frisky.
C                          F
They will take you by the hand.
F        C       F             C        Am
Saying Jimmy McCree won't you come with me,
C                 G       C
To welcome the stranger home?


[Chorus]

C          G     C
Hurray, my boys, hurray.
C                         F
No more do I wish for to roam.
F        C            F          C        Am
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time,
C            G    C
To welcome Paddy Home.

[Verse 3]

C                G          C
Then in came the far away stranger,
C                         F
and settled all over our land.
F     C            F        C            Am
The horse and the cow, the goat and the sow,
C                 G       C
Fell into the stranger's hands.


[Chorus]

C          G     C
Hurray, my boys, hurray.
C                         F
No more do I wish for to roam.
F        C            F          C        Am
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time,
C            G    C
To welcome Paddy Home.


[Verse 4]

C                  G           C
The Scotsman can boast of the thistle,
C                F
The Englishman boast of the rose.
F     C       F            C       Am
But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle,
C                 G       C
Where the dear little shamrock grows.


[Chorus]

C          G     C
Hurray, my boys, hurray.
C                         F
No more do I wish for to roam.
F        C            F          C        Am
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time,
C            G    C
To welcome Paddy Home.


[Chorus]

C          G     C
Hurray, my boys, hurray.
C                         F
No more do I wish for to roam.
F        C            F          C        Am
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time,
C            G    C
To welcome Paddy Home.
