Chords for Harry Secombe joins Val Doonican

_ _ _ _ _ _ Hello, darling.
_ _ _ Good to see you, Harry.
Nice to see you, though.
_ Thank you.
[D] And welcome home.
Nice to be back.
It was a great time out there.
Good trip.
Good trip.
As you can see, they're on top of the world, the lad said.
Well done.
Super.
They were really on top of the world.
[G] You enjoyed it, did you?
I certainly did.
A bit cold.
As you can see from my garments, I was suffering from [D] anorexia nervosa. _ _ _
You do [C] realize that some of the boys' people are in tonight.
I know.
[Ab] We can have a look at them, [Dm] actually.
We give them some applause.
Yes, well done.
We're in the midst of it.
_ I [D] want to say something to you.
Keep writing to them.
One thing they look forward to most of all is letters from home.
So keep writing.
It is very important.
Believe me.
And there's one thing you can clear up for me.
What's that?
There was an Irish lad who said something.
He made a request and I couldn't understand a word he said.
_ The fellow with the wellies?
Yes.
[N] I could see then how he didn't understand him.
And the fellow said, he said, oh, and then he made him say, oh, Valen know that, he said. _
So I'm the interpreter, am I?
Yes.
What he said was, when you said, what was your line?
He says, a mother's love's a blessing.
[G] _ In English, that means a mother's love's a blessing.
A mother's love's a blessing.
[D] Simple as that.
It's all clear.
How does it go?
You should learn it because you never know.
They might ask you to sing it again back there.
[Am] Can I have just a little bit of it and we'll sing it?
_ _ [D]
Great song.
Go on, [Am] go on.
It goes, a _ mother's love's a blessing.
_ [D] _ No [D] matter where you [Am] roam.
_ _ [D] Just keep her [Em] while she's [Am] living.
_ [Gb] Cause [Am] you'll miss her [D] when she's gone.
He's crying.
[Gm] _
It's a nice song, that, isn't it?
You'll have to learn that.
I've never heard that before.
[G] Will we tackle all the others?
What a grand thought.
Can we have a couple of microphones? _ _
[Dm] Wonderful.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] The green, green grass [A] of a [D] home.
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] Yes, [A] they'll all come to meet me.
[D] Arms reaching, smiling _ sweetly.
[A] It's good to touch the [E] green, green [Bm] grass [E] of a _ [A]
home.
_ _ [C] _ I know this one. [D] Walk tall.
_ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] All through the years that I [Fm] grew up,
Ma taught these things [D] to me.
_ [Eb] But I was young [Cm] and foolish then,
[C] and much too blind [Bb] to see.
[Eb] I ignored the things she said as [Bb] if I'd never heard.
Now I see and understand [F] the wisdom [Bb] of her words.
Walk tall, walk straight and look [C] the world right in the eye.
_ _ [Eb] That's what my mama told me [Bb] when I was about knee high.
She [Eb] said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high.
Walk tall, walk straight and look the [F] world right in the eye.
Walk tall, walk [Gm] straight and [F] look the world [Bb] right in the eye.
[Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ If [Ab] I ruled the [Cm] world,
every [Ab] day would be the [Gm] first day of spring.
_ Every [C] heart would have a [Fm] new song to sing.
_ [D] And we'd [F] sing of the joy every [Ebm] morning would [Bbm] _ bring.
[G] My [Dm] world would be a beautiful [C]
place
where we would [Am] weave such wonderful [Bbm] _ _
[Eb] dreams.
My [Fm] world would wear [Bbm] a smile on its face
[Fm] like the man in the moon [Abm] has when the moon [F] beams.
If I ruled the [Cm] world,
every [Ab] man would say [Gm] the world was [C] his friend.
[Gm] _ [C] There'd be happiness that [Fm] no man could end,
nor my friend.
Not if I ruled _ [F] _ _ the world,
[Bbm] every head would be held up [Bb] high.
[Dbm] There'd [Ab] be sunshine [Ebm] in every one's [F] sky
if the [Bbm] day ever [Cm] dawned when [Bb] I _
_ [Eb] ruled the _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ world.
Thanks, Bob.
You're [F] welcome. _
_ [Bb] Now Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of [C] notes,
fell in far of fortune and he bought himself a [Bb] goat.
He said, he sure [D] a goat's milk I'm going [B] to have me fill.
[G] But when he brought it in, he found it [Bb] was a bill.
All the young ladies that live in Killaloo,
[F] they're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to [Eb] do.
They'd [Gm] swear a bolster beneath their petticoat.
Just a little bit to go.
_ _ And leave [F] the rest to Providence and Paddy [Bb] McGinty to go.
How about that?
[Gm] We'll do the last one together.
_ _ _ [G] Amazing _ _ _ grace, [C] how sweet the [G]
sound
that _ saved a wretch [D] like _ _ me. _
[G] I once was _ lost, [C] but now I'm [G] found.
Was blind, but _ [D] now I [G] _ _
_ [Eb] see.
_ [Ab] Through _ many _ dangers, _ [Db] toils and snares
we _ had _ _ _ [Eb] to depart. _ _
_ It was [Ab] grace that brought _ [Db] us safe thus far.
And grace will [Cm] lead us _ [Cm] home.
_ [Db] _ _
[Ab] And _ grace will [Cm] lead _ [Eb] _ us [Db] home. _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
