The Old Turf Fire chords

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [Am]

[CHORUS]
[Am]Oh, the old turf fire and the hearth swept clean
There's [G]no one so contented as myself and Paddy Keane
The [Am]baby in the cradle, you can hear its mammy say
Ah, will you go to sleep, A[G]lanna, while I [Am]wet your daddy's tea

[VERSE]
[Am]Now I've got a little house and land, as neat as it can be
You'll [G]never see the likes of it this side of Lisnakea
No pi[Am]ano in the corner and no pictures on the wall
But I'm happy and contented in my [G]little cottage [Am]hall

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [G] [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]Now the man that I work for, of noble blood is he
But [G]somethin' I'll be tellin' you, we never can agree
He [Am]has big towering mansions, he has castles great and tall
But I wouldn't change the roof that crowns my [G]own cottage [Am]hall

[CHORUS]
[Am]Oh, the old turf fire and the hearth swept clean
There's [G]no one so contented as myself and Paddy Keane
The [Am]baby in the cradle, you can hear its mammy say
Ah, will you go to sleep, A[G]lanna, while I [Am]wet your daddy's tea

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [G] [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]Round the old turf fire sit the old folk, bent with years
As they [G]watch us trippin' lightly, they're smilin' through their tears
So [Am]sadly they are dreaming of their youthful heart's desire
In those dear old days so long ago, around the [G]old turf [Am]fire

[OUTRO]
