          C     F        C     C            C     C       F     G
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile. We'll never want to leave ya
          C     C        F     C          C       Am      G   C
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile 'til we come back to see ya

As we were walkin' down to Wales one day we chanced upon young Tommy Clancy
       C         C               F    C                    C         Am        G  C
And we called to him, "Could you go a drink?" (whoop) Said he "lads, That's my fancy!"

[Chorus 2]
          C     F        C     C            C     C       F     G
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile. We'll never want to leave ya
          C     C        F     C          C       Am      G   C
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile 'til we come back to see ya

[Verse 2]
       C        F            C       C        C        C               F   G
Oh, we drank to Tommy and he did the same. We drank to all his hellish brothers
       C        C            F           C           C       Am      G  C
And we drank to home and the girls we've known, then had one for our mo-thers

[Chorus 3]
          C     F        C     C            C     C       F     G
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile. We'll never want to leave ya
          C     C        F     C          C       Am      G   C
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile 'til we come back to see ya

[Verse 3]
            C          F             C      C                C         C                  F G
And then we sang those songs that we sang before (whoop). We sang that we would drink for-e-ver
         C         C          F         C       C         Am      G  C
When the last drop passed our lips that day, we sang this song to-ge-ther

[Chorus 4]
          C     F        C     C            C     C       F     G
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile. We'll never want to leave ya
          C     C        F     C          C       Am      G   C
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile 'til we come back to see ya
