Great Big Roaming Ass chords

[VERSE 1]
Would y[D]ou ever think, if you looked at me, that I was [A]in me [D]prime?
My [A]clothes are torn and me shoes are worn and me age is forty [A7]nine
Oh, [D]I had [A]friends and [G]pals ga[A]lore, but alas, those days are past
And the [A]only friend that I have left is a [A7]poor old, shook old [D]ass

[CHORUS]
Oh, a [D]kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old [A]ass to [D]me
And [A]many's the night he brought me home when I was on the [A7]spree
He's [D]highly [A]bred, he’s [G]badly [A]fed for I don't own much grass
He's a [A]hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, [A7]great big roaming [D]ass

[VERSE 2]
I [D]bought this ass for a half a crown some many [A]years a[D]go
We [A]chanced to meet upon the street at the fair of [A7]Ballinasloe
He [D]took me [A]high and he [G]looked so [A]fly with skin as smooth as glass
And [A]sure I put down with a half of a crown and [A7]sailed home with me [D]ass

[CHORUS]
Oh, a [D]kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old [A]ass to [D]me
And [A]many's the night he brought me home when I was on the [A7]spree
He's [D]highly [A]bred, he’s [G]badly [A]fed for I don't own much grass
He's a [A]hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, [A7]great big roaming [D]ass

[VERSE 2]
Oh, I'll [D]ne'er forget the day we met, at the [A]fair of Ballina[D]sloe.
[A]Up and down through streets and town, the pair of us did [A7]go.
And [D]to de[A]part t'would [G]break my [A]heart, for no one could take his place,
And [A]tell all of what I think of him, sure I [A7]think he's no dis[D]grace.

[CHORUS]
Oh, a [D]kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old [A]ass to [D]me
And [A]many's the night he brought me home when I was on the [A7]spree
He's [D]highly [A]bred, he’s [G]badly [A]fed for I don't own much grass
He's a [A]hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, [A7]great big roaming [D]ass
