Oraffertys Motor Car

    G                              
Now Denny O'Rafferty's motor car is
     C        D   G
 the greatest I declare
It's made up of bits and pieces that
    A                  D
 he picked up here and there
    Em             Bm             
The engine must be ages old but 
   C                 D
it's still got lots of power
       G                           
With a gallon of stout in the 
               C      D        G
petrol tank it does ninety miles an 
hour.


[Verse 2]
    G                              
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; 
      C        D    G
it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's 
              A               D
hat, now it's forty shades of green
   Em         Bm           C     
On TV and the radio and in every 
       D
public bar
    G                              
The burning question of the day is 
C          D     G
Rafferty's motor car.


[Verse 3]
    G                              
Now two of the wheels are 
          C           D     G
triangular and the third one's off a
 pram
The fourth is the last remaining 
           A            D
wheel from off a Dublin tram
    Em                Bm          
The number plate's in Gaelic and 
   C                D
the plugs won't even spark
        G                    
And the chassis came off of a 
                       C       
tinkers' cart that collapsed in 
  D       G
Phoenix Park.

[Verse 4]
    G                              
Now go for a ride in the motor car 
           C      D        G
and you'll end up with the shakes
The road from Cork to Dublin is a 
A                 D
veil of pains and aches
     Em                  Bm       
When traffic lights turn red ahead
       C                 D
 you'd best jump out the door
        G                          
For the moment that Denny treads on
                C          D      
 the brakes his foot'll go through
     G
 the floor.


[Verse 5]
    G                              
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; 
      C        D    G
it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's 
              A               D
hat, now it's forty shades of green
   Em         Bm           C     
On TV and the radio and in every 
       D
public bar
    G                              
The burning question of the day is 
C          D     G      A
Rafferty's motor car.


[Verse 6]
    A                              
Now if you could see the upholstery
      D          E        A
 your eyes would start to pop
It's nothing but empty beer crates 
       B                E
with a load of sacks on top
    F#m                  C#m      
The windscreen's gone to Lord 
                    D              
knows where and there's mothballs 
  E
in the horn
      A                          
And I reckon he'd only get half a 
            D       E      A
quid if he took it to the pawn.


[Verse 7]
    A                            
Now Denny was driving around last 
               D      E       A
week when the engine did the splits
It went up in smoke and nearly blew 
  B                 E
O'Connell Street in bits
     F#m                 C#m      
They searched around for Denny and
            D            E
 found he'd landed up by heck
 A                                 
Away up on top of the GPO with his 
D        E         A
L plates round his neck.


[Verse 8]
    A                              
Oh, what a wonderful motor car; 
      D        E    A
it's the greatest ever seen
It used to be black as me father's 
              B               E
hat, now it's forty shades of green
   F#m        C#m          D     
On TV and the radio and in every 
       E
public bar
    A                              
The burning question of the day is 
D          E      A
Rafferty's motor......
