Start Jamming...
In an Irish tour I always try and include Belfast and the North of Ireland.
After all I lived there for a while and I learned a lot playing in the clubs there.
So I have a certain home feeling for the [F] place.
Momma's in the kitchen baking up a pie.
Daddy's in the backyard.
Get a job, son, you [Ab] know you ought to try.
So I pack my bag and head down the road.
I got me a job for Mary Paul.
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far.
Now I know who I belong to.
I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting [Eb] blue.
[Db] I need someone to talk to.
There's always a great audience in Belfast.
I'm getting lonesome, [Ebm] I'm getting blue.
It's a pity almost no one else goes to play there.
[Ab] Now let me tell you where I'm going to.
Yes sir, going to my hometown.
Sorry, but I can't take you.
[Db] [Abm]
[Ab] Well,
[Eb] they don't want to.
[Bbm] [Abm] You know I'm kind of bossy [Ab] too.
Yeah?
Yeah, I have a suit against them all day.
[Db] Yeah, I [Abm] have a suit against them [Ab] all day.
[Eb] You want to look up?
[Db] [Abm]
Yeah, I'm going to.
