Verse 1
Darlin' (G major)
don't go to the city
You'll get (C major) lost there in the crowd (G major)
All the boys there in the city
Drink and (A major) smoke and talk too loud (D major)
The (G major) wo men in this city sneak
their (C major) whisky from a (G major) cup
Oh, is it itty (C major) (G major) -bitty when
(C major) Irish girls (D major) grow (G major) up?
Have you (C major) heard of
Maddy
Gilligan?
She's gone (G major) about three weeks
She's painted up her lips
And all the (A major) colours left her cheeks (D major)
She never (G major) goes to
Mass no more, (C major) she gave her virtue up (G major) .
Oh, is it pity, (C major) (G major) pity, when
Ir (C major) ish girls (D major) grow (G major) up?
Have you heard about the
Coonies, the
(C major) Russells and
Malloys? (G major)
Their girls all left the farm and
went to (A major) chasing city boys. (D major)
Their (G major) mothers pray to
Mary, that their (C major) girls won't turn corrupt (G major)
Oh, isn't it (C major) a (G major) pity, when
Ir (C major) ish girls (G major) grow up
Oh,
(C major) God forgive me saying it,
but I (G major) swear that it's all true
The
Lord should strike me dead,
should this be (A major) said, the likes of you (D major)
Your lips (G major) will not touch alcohol,
it's (C major) tea that you shall slup. (G major)
Oh, is it heady (C major) pity (G major) when
Ir (C major) ish girls (D major) grow (G major) up? (C major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
Darling, don't go to the city,
You'll get (C major) lost there in the crowd. (G major)
All the boys there in the city,
Drink and (A major) smoke and talk too (D major) loud.
And the (G major) women in the city
Sneak their (C major) whisky from a cup. (G major)
Oh, isn't (C major) it a (G major) pity
When
(C major) Irish girls (D major) grow (G major) up?
Oh, isn't it (C major) a (G major) pity
When
(C major) Irish girls (D major) grow (G major) up? (C major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
you
