Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem - When I Was Single chords
Start Jamming...
[C#] When I was single I wore a plaid shawl, Now that I'm married [G#] I've nothing at all,
Oh but still [C#] I love him, I'll forgive him, I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He came up our alley and he whistled me out, But [A#m] the tail of his shirt from his trouser sung out,
Oh but [C#] still I love him, I'll forgive him, I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He gave me a handkerchief, red, white and blue, But before I could [G#] wear it he tore it in two,
Oh but still I love him, [C#] I'll forgive him, I'll go with [C#] him wherever he goes.
He took me to an alehouse and he gave me some stout, But before I could drink it [G#] he altered me out,
Oh [C#] but still I love him, I'll forgive him, I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He borrowed some money to buy me a ring, And then he and the [G#] jeweler went off on a fling,
Oh but still I love him, [C#] I'll forgive him, I'll go with him wherever he goes.
There's cakes in the oven, there's cheese on the shelf, If you want any more you [G#] can sing it yourself,
Oh [C#] but still I love him, I'll forgive him, I'll go with him wherever he goes.
[N]
