Tim (B major) Finnegan lived in Watling Street
A (G sharp major) gentle Irishman mighty odd
He'd a (E major) beautiful brogue so rich and sweet
To (B major) rise in the world he (F sharp major) carried a hod
(B major) See he'd sort of a tippling way
With (G sharp major) love for a liquor poor Tim was born
To (E major) help him on with his work every day
He'd a (B major) drop of the Craythor (F sharp major) every morn' (B major)

Verse 2
One (B major) morning Tim was rather full
His (G sharp major) head felt heavy, which made him shake
(E major) Fell from the ladder and broke his skull
So they (B major) carried him home, his (F sharp major) corpse to wake
(B major) Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And (G sharp major) laided him upon the bed
A (E major) bottle of whiskey at his feet
And a (B major) gallon of porter (F sharp major) at his head
Chorus 1
And (B major) whack Fol-De-Dah

His (B major) friends assembled at his wake
And (G sharp major) Missus Finnegan called for lunch

Such a (G sharp major) nice clean corpse

Then (B major) Peggy O'Connor took up the job
(D sharp major) Biddy she says you're wrong I'm sure
(E major) Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob
And (F sharp major) left her sprawling on the floor
(B major) Then the war did soon engage
(D sharp major) Woman to woman and man to man
(E major) Shillelah-law was all the rage
An a (F sharp major) row and a ruction soon began

(B major) Mickey Maloney he raised his head
When a (D sharp major) bottle of whiskey flew at him
It (E major) missed him falling on the bed
The (F sharp major) liquor scattered over Tim

(D sharp major) Timothy rising from the bed
(E major) Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
(B major) Tonamondeal, do you (F sharp major) think I'm dead?
