Chords for Robbie O'Connell - You're Not Irish

_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ When first I came to the [A] USA with my [C] guitar in hand
I [Bm] was told that [C] I could get a [D] job singing songs from Ireland.
[G] So I headed off to Boston
I was sure to [C] be alright, [D] but the very first [C] night I got on the stage [D] I was in for a big surprise
They [G] said you're not Irish.
You [A] can't be Irish.
You don't know Danny [G] boy
A-toodle-oodle-oodle-oodle or even [D] Irish eyes
[C] You've got the [G] hell of a nerve to say [D] you came from [G] Ireland.
So cut [D] out all the [C] nonsense and sing [D] _ _ [G] McNamara's band _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ But to tell [A] the truth, I got quite a shock and I didn't know [C] what to say
[D] So I sang a [C] song in Gaelic.
[D] I thought that might win the day
[G] But they looked at me [A] suspiciously and I didn't know [C] what was wrong
[D] And all of a [C] sudden they started [D] to shout and I'll sing a real Irish song.
[G]
Oh, you're not Irish
You [D] can't be Irish.
You don't know Danny [G] boy
A-toodle-oodle-oodle [B] or even [D] Irish eyes.
[C] You've got [G] the hell of a nerve to say [D] you came from [G] Ireland
_ So [D] cut out all the [G] nonsense and sing [D] _ McNamara's band
_ Well _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ the next [A] day I was on my way [G] for Chicago.
[C] I was bound.
[G] I was ready to [C] give it another [D] try
Not let it get me down.
[G] From the stage they looked quite friendly
But I'd hardly [C] sung one word [D] when a voice [C] called out from the back of the [D] room and what do you think I heard?
[G] _ You're not Irish you [D] can't be Irish you don't know Danny [G] boy
A-toodle-oodle-oodle [A] or even [D] Irish eyes.
[C]
You've got the [G] hell of a nerve to say [D] you came from [G] Ireland _
So [D] cut out all the nonsense [C] and sing [G] _ McNamara's band _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _
Well, I've traveled [D] all around the country
But it's always [C] been the same from [D] LA to [C] Philadelphia [D] and from Washington to Maine
[G] Sometimes now I wonder if it's a secret [C] society _ [D] and it doesn't [B] matter wherever I go
[D] They'll be waiting there for me saying you're not Irish.
You can't be Irish.
You don't know Danny [G] boy
A-toodle-oodle-oodle or even [D] Irish eyes.
[G] You've got the hell of a nerve to say [D] you came from [G] Ireland
So [D] cut out all the [Em] nonsense and [A] sing _ [G] McNamara's band _ _
