I'll Tell Me Ma chords by The Clancy Brothers
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) I can tell my ma when I go home
The (A major) boys won't leave the (D major) girls alone
They pull my hair and they stole my comb
But (A major) that's all right till (D major) I go home
She is handsome, (G major) she is pretty
She (D major) is the belle of (A major) Belfast city
She (D major) is courting (G major) one, two, three
(D major) Brief when you tell me
who is he (G major) (A major) (D major)
Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
They're at the door,
they're ringing the bell,
Saying, oh, my (A major) true love, (D major) are you well?
Out she comes, as (G major) white as snow,
(D major) Rings on her fingers,
(A major) bells on her toes,
(D major) Old Johnny Murray (G major) says she'll die
If she (D major) doesn't get the fella
with the roving eye. (G major) (A major)
(D major) Let the wind and the rain
and the hail blow high,
The snow come travelling from the sky,
She's as nice (G major) as apple (D major) pie,
And she'll get her (A major) own lad
(D major) by and by.
When she gets a (G major) lad of her own,
She (D major) won't tell her ma when
(A major) she comes home,
Let (D major) them all come (G major) as they will
For (D major) it's Albert (A major) Mooney (D major) she loves still
And tell my ma when I go
home
The boys won't (A major) leave the girls alone
(D major) They pulled my hair,
they (G major) stole my (D major) comb
Well, that's all (A major) right (D major) till I go home
She is handsome, (G major) she is pretty
She (D major) is the belle of Belfast (A major) city
She (D major) is courting (G major) one, two, three
(D major) Please, won't you tell me
who is he?
Albert Mooney (G major) says he loves her
(D major) All the boys are (A major) fighting for
her
(D major) They're knocking at the door, they're
(G major) ringing the bell
Saying, (A major) oh, my true love, (D major) marry you well
Out she comes as (G major) white as snow
Wrinkled (D major) her fingers, (A major) belled her toes
Old (D major) Johnny Murray (G major) says she'll die
If she (D major) doesn't get the fellow
with the robe and eye
Let them all come (G major) as they will
For (D major) it's Albert (A major) Mooney (D major) she loves still
