The Jarvey Was A Leprechaun

D
A half a dozen tourists stood 
outside the
D         C
Lim'rick bar,
D
And thought they'd like to take a 
trip by
A              D
Irish jaunting car,
G                     C
They jumped up on the side seats and
 it
D                    C
started down the street,
D                              
But they never saw the character 
   A
upon the
          D
driver's seat.


D
The Jarvey was a leprechaun and had 
some
D
magic power,
D
He toured them thro' the Em'rald 
Isle at a
C                   A
thousand miles an hour,
D
A phantom horse was in the shafts 
and no one
D           C
was surprised,
D
For the Jarvey was a leprechaun and 
he had
A          D
them hypnotised.

Continues after the ad
D
He showed them Connemara on the way 
to
D          C
Ireland's eye,
D
They heard him say that Galway Bay 
was
A           D
frozen in July,
D                    C
He had them kiss the Blarney Stone 
on
D               C
Ballybunion Strand,
D
And a football team from Donegal was
A             D
Macnamara's band.

D
Now The Jarvey was a leprechaun and 
really
D
took them round,
D                                 
They went thro'' Tipperary town at
  C
 twice the
A
speed of sound,
D
He told them it was Mullingar when 
passing
D
by Clonmel,
D                    C
For the Jarvey was a leprechaun and 
the
A                  D
truth he couldn't tell!

D
He told them it was Cromwell lost 
the battle
D       C
of Clontarf
D                                 
He said the famous Finn Mac'coul 
      A
was nothing
       D
but a dwarf,
D                      C         
He swore the Giant's Causeway had
         D
 been built
                C
in the Phoenix Park,
D                                 
And it was in Killarney's lakes 
    A
that Noah
           D
built the ark!

D
The Jarvey was a leprechaun and did 
the trip
D
so fast,
D
Although the horse had spouted wings
 the
C                   A
pace just couldn't last,
D                              
(slow) C
He drove them up the airy mountain, 
down the
       A
rushy glen,
         D                D       
And the Jarvey and the passengers 
      A
were never
C       D
seen again.
