[G]
Here's a song that I learnt from Luke Kelly when he was alive.
Luke [F] was an amazing singer.
He's in character altogether actually.
[G]
It's called The Currow of Kildare.
If you know it, you can join in.
I've yet to [N] actually get an audience to join in and make my song.
I've been in the games 30 [Gm] years.
[C]
[Fm] If you do join in, I'll be amazed.
[A] I [F#] can understand why people [F] don't join [G] in with my song.
