Molly Brannigan chords by 
Oscar Brand
N/A•
Verse 1
G
There's a story about a fellow
who walked into a pub,
A
a waterside cafe,
G
and said, I want a scotch and soda,
make it fast.
The bartender says,
you want a scotch and soda, sir?
You can have it quickly.
The first fellow says, bartender,
you make a foot of me.
The bartender says,
no, I'm not making a foot of you.
At that point, another customer came in and said, give
me a scotch and soda, bartender.
Bartender says,
A
sure, you want a scotch and soda,
here it is.
D
The first fellow was very angry,
G
says, Bartender,
I thought you said
you wanted to make a fun
of me.
Bartender says, I'm not making fun of you,
D
I'm making fun of him.
G
D
In this song, the Irish are making fun, in a way,
G
of the Irish.
D
G
A
of some of the Maudlin songs
G
which became popular many,
many years ago.
And with all the jokes in this song,
with all the humor,
with all the poke and fun,
it still turns out to be what
D
I think one of the loveliest.
It's called Molly Brannigan.

G
How, 'am dear,
D
A
did you ever hear of pretty
E
G
Molly Brannigan?
D
Hey, she's gone and left me
and I'll never be a man again.
G
D
Not a spot on my hide
G
will another summer tan again.
Since Molly's gone
D
A
D
and left me all alone for to die.
A
The spot where me heart was
G
D
you could easy roll a tarlet in
G
A
As big as any paving stone,
G
from Dublin to the Devil's Glen
D
She had to take another heart,
A
G
she might have give mine back again
A
And not have left me weeping all
D
G
D
G
D
along for to die
A
D
G
D
A
I can remember when the milk in time
G
was passed and gone
She took me to the meadow
D
G
and she swore I was the only one
D
A
G
Ever she loved all the face of a cruel one
D
A
D
After that delayed me all alone for to die
Sure I can remember,
G
D
as we walked out, the rain begun,
G
D
I clothed her in me pantaloons,
G
her devil a waistcoat had I on,
D
my shirt it was to find run,
A
D
not the base, the cruel one,
G
A
after that to leave me all alone,
D
G
D
G
D
A
full to die.
D
G
D
They decide of me bodies
A
as weak
G
as what a cruel man,
And devil a bit upon me bones
D
A
Bm
since Molly Booth's a cruel man.
G
A
If I had a blunderbuss,
D
G
go and fight a duel, 'am,
But what need I care
D
A
D
when I am only to die?
I feel myself as weak
G
D
as man is meant to man,
G
will you come into my wake
D
G
when I call that last meander,
'am?
A
I feel myself as valiant
D
as the gallant Alexander,
G
ma 'am,
A
D
when I hear you cry around my grave,
A
D
Why did he die?

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
