Chords for The Dan Paddy Andy Festival Song - Mike Fitzgerald

When _ _ _ [F] you _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
hear the music rattling [F] down the mountains [C] and the glens,
[F] When the sound of [C] fiddles playing reaches [G] the world, _
[C] When the beating of the bauron and [F] the clatter [C] of the drum,
[F] These visions are [C] some distant crack and toll.
Where are [G] the leading only to, [F] like mountains [C] up above,
[F] And the cymbals tell [C] you light is [G] drawing near? _
And the gentle breeze is blowing o [F]'er the moorland,
Seems [C] to say the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here. _
The Dan Betty Andy Festival [F] once again [C] is here,
[F] But all the [C] signs say [Am] it's not [D] time of year.
_ [C] Let me music, song and dance, [F] young and old we'll be romancing,
[C] For the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ When you hear the laughter rising [F] from the pub beside [C] the road,
[F] And roaches [C] barely crowded to [G] the doors,
_ [C] Where some shanakis relating [F] the humours [C] of the past,
[F] Beauty exiles you [C] are back from foreign shores.
And [G] the sounds and conversations [F] intermingle in [C] that place,
[F] And the houses there [C] be buzzing [G] funs of the year.
_ And Albert singing rightly wrote, [F] a thing you can [C] be sure,
The Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ The Dan Betty Andy Festival [F] once again [C] is here,
[F] But all the signs [C] say [Am] it's not time of [D] year.
_ [C] Let me music, song and dance, [F] young and old we'll be romancing,
[C] For the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ When you see a marquee rising in [F] this rural [C] setting fair,
[F] And the flags of [C] many nations [G] flying high,
_ [C] Where the crowds are gaily dancing on [F] the famous [C] clothing floor,
[F] And there's romance [C] there for every girl and high.
You [G] may talk about great dances [F] like the famous County [C] Moor,
[F] And the ballrooms of [C] romance we hold [G] so dear.
_ The marquee up in Lyre [F] would surely bathe [C] them all,
When the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ The Dan Betty Andy Festival [F] once again [C] is here,
[F] But all the [C] signs say [Am] it's not [D] time of year.
_ [C] Let me music, song and dance, [F] young and old we'll be romancing,
[C] For the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ The holy Andy open air [F] recalls the days [C] gone by,
[F] Of crossroads dancing where our [G] parents met.
_ [C] And the air as clear as crystal and [F] the sun as [C] beaming down,
[F] Of the rattling out of Grand Nobel [C] Caddy said,
If [G] it's dancing you would rather [F] run the music you [C] desire,
[F] Than up the Lyre [C] of course you'll have [G] to steer.
_ When the summer days are over [F] you'll be welcome [C] in the hills,
When the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here.
_ The Dan Betty Andy Festival [F] once again [C] is here,
[F] But all the signs say [Am] it's not [G] time of year.

[C] Let me music, song and dance, [F] young and old we'll be romancing,
[C] For the Dan Betty [G] Andy Festival [C] is here. _ _
