Verse 1
(D major) (B flat major) (F major) (E minor) (A major) If
it (D major) wer
en't for the Irish,
you'd (A major) have to forsake
Sweet (F sharp minor) Rosie (Fdim) O 'Grady and
(A major) Finnegan's Wake
And my (E minor) wild Irish (A major) rose
that you sing louder (D major)
Than the (B minor) overalls in (E major) Mrs. Murphy's (A major) chowder
If it (D major) weren't for the Irish,
(A major) you'd lose from the start
Your father's (D major) shil (Fdim) lelagh and
(A major) peg of my heart
There would (B major) be no stew the
Mulligans made
There would be no St.
Patrick's Day parade (A major)
There would (E minor) be no pickin' shamrock,
(D major) no (G major) wearin' of the (D major) green
And there'd (B minor) be no one to (E major) ever
take you (A major) home (E major) again, Kath (A major) leen
If it (D major) weren't for the Irish,
there (A major) never would be
A Johnny McCor (Fdim) mack,
a (A major) Mother McCree
When your (D major) Irish eyes are (B minor) smiling,
you would (G major) never see (E minor) them
And if it (D major) weren't for the Irish,
if it (G major) weren't for the Irish,
if it (B flat major) weren't for (A major) the Irish in (D major) me
(G major) All (C major) (F major) our Irish hearts are singing
gaily about me
father's old shillelagh we're wild about
And Irish stew,
the corned beef and cabbage
is wonderful too
Larny (B flat major) stones and (F major) lullabies,
leprechauns before your eyes
Hills of (B flat major) green and lakes of blue,
and (F major) think of the wonderful
(B flat major) jig ging they do
And if (E flat major) it weren't for the Irish,
there'd (B flat major) be no Paddy's Peak
No bringing (C minor) up father (F major) ,
no (B flat major) Maggie and Jigs
There'd be (F minor) no blackthorn
stick for (B flat major) your protection
(E flat major) And no (C minor) cop upon the (F major) beat to give direc (B flat major) tion
If it (E flat major) weren't for the Irish,
you'd (B flat major) find us before
No corned beef (C minor) and cab (F major) bage,
and (B flat major) no dinty more
You would (C major) never hear
of Paddy Duffy's cart
There would be no team
of Harrigan and (B flat major) Bart
You would (F minor) be without policemen
(E flat major) and force in every law
There would (C minor) be no Irish sweepstakes
(F major) and no (B flat major) George Bernard (F major) Shaw
(B flat major) If it (E flat major) weren't for the Irish,
there (B flat major) never would be
Us tenors (C minor) of morning,
(F major) the (B flat major) roles of Tralley
And the (E flat major) shows of George M. Cohan,
you would (A flat major) never see them
If it (E flat major) weren't for the Irish,
weren't for the Irish
(B major) Burn (E flat major) (C minor) for the (A flat major) Ir ish in (B flat major) (E flat major) me!
