_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ OODLES THE A [G]
-HA
_ _ [D] _ _ [Am] Thank _
[G] _ you very [A] much _ _ _
[D] It was in the year of Philip VIII,
Yet [G] in the the lovely month of June
[E] When the gadflies were swarmin
[A] And the dogs howlin' at the _ moon _ _ _
_ _ on heat on this run here _ _
Howard _ [D] rose repeated sand-bidges
[G] For Stuttgart we began
_ _ Jockster [Am] packed his German phrasebook and jumped late [D] for the van _
_ Although _ _ _ some of the lads had never [A] been away from [Em] home before _
It was [A] the first time Whacker put his foot outside [D] of Inchicore
_ And before we left for Europe we knew we'd need [G] a plan
So we all [D] agreed that [A] Jockster was the man to drive the [G] van _ _
In [D] Germany the [G] Autobahn twist like the long mile road.
[A] There was every make a car and van
I'll carry in the full load for [D] transit and hiases [G] and then no Bedford from Tralee
With [A] the engine overheating from Long Hall and [D] Judy Free
_ Well, _ _ _ there was funds from Ballyfermich, _ Ballybock and [Em] Ballymorn
On [A] the journey of a lifetime and a crack was [D] 91 _ _
Well Jockster met a German's daughter on [A] the banks of the river [G] Rhine and he told her [D] she'd be [A] welcome in Ballyfermich [G] any time
_ [A] A big falsherote for a lane
_ _ And as [D] soon as we found Stuttgart, [G] we got the wagons in a rig
[A] Sean Ogg got out the banjo and Peter played the mandolin
[D] But it was fans from everywhere [G] attracted by the sounds [A] and the first black girl in Europe and Jockster passed [D] the flag in Rome
_ But _ _ _ the session it ended when we finished all [Em] the stuff [A] the air mattresses inflated and the sleeping bags [D] rolled out
As one by one we fell asleep Jockster had [G] a dream he dreamt himself and Jack [D] Charlton [A] sat down to [G] pick the team _ _
[A] Jockster _ _ _ [D] jumped they bought the greed and [G] pecky boners the right away [A] and that more and wheelin and McGraw were certainly play
Uh, [D] what tempers they began to [G] rise patience?
We're in Tim a jack [A] wanted Casper Reno, but Jockster wanted [D] Quinn
_ _ And _ _ _ the dream turned into a nightmare Jockster stuck the head [Em] in Jack
_ _ _ [A] Who wanted to bring Johnny Giles and him and [D] don't be back. _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh
Well the cops crew in the morning
It grew but loud and [G] shrill and Jockster woke up in [D] his sleeping bag [A] many miles from Arbor [G] Hill _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] And next morning none of the experts [G] gave us the slightest chance
[A] They said that the English team would lead us on a merry dance
_ _ _ All [D] with their Union Jack's all them English fans [G] for victory.
They were set
_ [A] Until Ray Houghton got the ball and he stuck it in [D] the net _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [D] What _ _ _ _ _ happened _ next is history brought tears to [Em] many eyes _ _
What [A] the day will be the highlight _ of many people's [D] lives _ _ _
Well Jockster claimed right over the top and the last time he [G] was seen
_ Was I'm [A] an arm with [D] Jack Charlton [A] singing revenge for [G] skippery
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ I [D] know hackers back in in [A] Chicago.
He's [G] living with his mom _ and
[D] Jack [A] Charlton has been proclaimed an honorary Irish _ man
Yeah, listen
_ [D] The Germans daughter [G] and the banks of the river _ _ _
Didn't [A] you show up in Bali firm at last weekend _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ Oh
