_ She's my girl, she's my world, she's [Gb] my life to me.
She's [Ab] my girl, she's my world, she's [Db] my wife to be.
She makes me act and dress my best, keeps [Gb] me filled with happiness.
Well I [Ab] don't know, I'm just lucky [Db] I guess.
What a lucky day it was when [Gb] I met her.
_ [Ab] What a lucky street to meet [Db] with the best.
But don't ask me how I [Gb] come to win her.
Well [Ab] I don't know, I'm just lucky [Db] I guess.
She's my girl, she's my world, [Gb] she's my life to me.
[Ab] She's my girl, she's my world, [Db] she's my wife to be.
Well she makes me act and dress my best, [Gb] keeps me filled with happiness.
[Ab] Well I don't know, I'm just lucky [Db] I guess.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ If I could only [Eb] start over [Bb] and have a new life [F] to begin.
_ _ [Bb] I would live [Eb] like a rover _ [Bb] and thrive [F] like a leaf [Bb] on the wind.
For [Eb] I'm dreaming tonight of [Bb] old _ sweethearts and believe me I've had quite [F] a few.
_ _ [Bb] But I would dream of [Eb] old _ sweethearts the [Bb] way that I [F] dream about [Bb] you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ When I was just a little boy my [D] one only wish
[C] was to get to see the show bands [G] play the Marquee and [D] Drumlish.
[C] I'd watch them all arrive in [G] fine wagons [D] and big cars
and I wondered what it would be like to be a [G] country star.
_ My father used to tell me [D] that I was [G] far too small
[C] and I had no chance to go to the dance [G] to see the bands [D] at all.
But [C] my mother would get round him and [G] I would get my wish
[G] and we'd go to see the mainliners in the Marquee and Drumlish.
_ [C] I'd watch him, Miss MacMahon, [G] as he played his sleepy car
and I wondered how he got that sound [Gbm] love so near and far.
[C] When Big Tom sang Gentle Mother, [G] sure I can tell you [D] this
that everyone would sing along in the Marquee [G] and Drumlish.
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
Larry and the Mighty Evans [D] were among my [G] favourites too
[C] how I envied Mickey Brady [G] with his Fender colour blue.
[C] When Larry sang he'd have to go [G] low notes he'd never [D] miss
you [G] could hear that Benson echo round the [D] Marquee and [G] Drumlish.
_ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Ab] Philomena's country flavour would take the old bandstand
and [Db] I'd watch him Dan O'Hara [Ab] pick and play my ramblin' [Eb] man
and [Db] later on when I got home [Ab] I'd check the old [Eb] jam jar
[Ab] to see if I had saved [Eb] enough to buy my [Ab] first guitar.
So [Db] next morning with my mother we [Ab] went to Longford Town
and she bought me that first guitar I think it cost twelve pounds.
[Db] With radio and records [Ab] I'd practice all alone
soon I had a job with the High Lows and [Eb] Gene Stewart from [Db] Tyrone
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[E] _ [A] and then one Friday evening came that biggest break of all
I was [D] asked to join the Bookaroos with the Mighty [E] Brian Paul
[D] we'd played all over Ireland, England [A] and the [E] USA
[A] and I owe a lot to Brian [E] for what I am [A] today
and [D] now the people tell me [A] that I could go far
we'd play all over Ireland from Cork to [Dbm] Castlebar
the [D] carnival is over [A] but I still got [E] my wish
[A] for I got my inspiration [E] in the [A] Marquee and Drumlish
no I won't forget the Marquee and [E] my little town [A] drums.
