[INTRO]
G/// Am/// D/// G///
[VERSE]
Oh, me [G] name is MacNamara , I'm the leader of the band
[C]Although we're few in [G] numbers, we're the [A7]finest in the [D7] land
We [G]play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball
And [C]when we play the [G]funerals, we[D7] play the March from [G]Saul
[CHORUS]
Oh, the [G]drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
[C]McCarthy pumps the [G]old bassoon while [A7] I the pipes do[D7] play
And [G]Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
A [C]credit to old [G]Ireland is [D7] MacNamara's [G]band
[INTERLUDE]
G/// Am/// D/// G///
[VERSE]
Right [G]now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair
The [C]annual cele[G]bration, all the [A7]gentry will be [D7] there
When [G]General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand
Says [C] he, I never [G]saw the likes of [D7] MacNamara's [G]Band
[CHORUS]
Oh, the [G]drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
[C]McCarthy pumps the [G]old bassoon while [A7] I the pipes do[D7] play
And [G]Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
A [C]credit to old [G]Ireland is [D7] MacNamara's [G]band
[INTERLUDE]
G/// Am/// D/// G///
[VERSE]
Oh, my [G]name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come
To [C]play with Mac[G]Namara's Band and [A7]beat the big bass [D7] drum
And [G]when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand
They [C]shout, there's Uncle [G]Julius playing [D7] with an Irish [G]band
Oh, I [G]wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green
And [C]I'm the funniest [G]lookin' Swede that [A7]you have [D7] ever seen
There’s O'[G]Brians, O'Ryans, Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland
But, by [C]yimminy, I'm the [G]only Swede in [D7] MacNamara's [G]Band
[CHORUS]
Oh, the [G]drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
[C]McCarthy pumps the [G]old bassoon while [A7] I the pipes do[D7] play
And [G]Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
A [C]credit to old [G]Ireland is [D7] MacNamara's [G]band
