Start Jamming...
[Eb] I was just trying to get you in the mood to sing this song with us.
And there's a grand chorus and this is a song called The Liar.
And listen carefully to this because there'll be questions before you're [F] allowed out tonight.
The chorus says,
To me rightful Toor-o-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell a lie like me.
You can search until you tire,
You won't find a bigger liar.
I've been lying since the dawn of history.
Do you think you could get that?
Easy got as a wet foot.
It goes like this.
To me rightful Toor-o [C]-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you tire,
You won't find a bigger [C] liar.
I've been lying since [F] the dawn of history.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful [C] Toor-o-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who [F] can tell a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you tire,
You [F] won't find a bigger liar.
I've been lying since the dawn of history.
I was born about [C] ten thousand years ago,
In Balmullet, in the [F] county of Mayo.
[Bb] It was me that chased the [F] vermin,
Why St.
Patrick placed a [C] sermon,
And I, whoop, the man that [F] said it didn't so.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor-o [C]-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
[Gm] There is no one who can [G] tell a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you [F] tire,
You won't find a bigger [C] liar.
I've been lying since the [F] dawn of history.
I saw me go pick an [C] apple off a tree,
She came over and she offered one to me.
[Bb] Well I turned and said,
Dear madam, [F] you can try your luck with Adam,
[C] I'm on home to have some fish [F] and chips and tea.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor-o [C]-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell [F] a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you tire,
[F] You won't find a bigger liar.
[C] I've been lying since the dawn [F] of history.
I saw Delilah cutting [C] Samson's hair,
She snipped away until [F] his head was bare.
[Bb] When he couldn't run away,
[F] Well she married him next day,
[C] And they opened up a barber [F] shop in Clare.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor-o-laddy, [C] Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell a lie [F] like me.
[Bb] You can search until you tire,
[F] You won't find a bigger liar.
[C] I've been lying since the dawn of [F] history.
With King Gilly [C] at the morn, I heard him call
On [C] his followers to follow till they [Bb] fall.
Then he says we'll win [F] quite easily,
And we canonize [C] young Paisley.
And he up and sang a [F] verse of Dirty's Wall.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor [C]-o-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can [F] tell a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you [F] tire,
You won't find a bigger [C] liar.
I've been lying since [F] the dawn of history.
It was during World War [C] II I met them all,
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle.
[Bb] And one day I nearly [F] fainted,
I was having my house [C] painted,
There was Hitler hanging [F] paper in the hall.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor-o [C]-laddy, Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell a lie like me.
[Bb] You can search until you tire,
[F] You won't find a bigger liar.
[C] I've been lying since the dawn [F] of history.
Sing it out now.
To me rightful Toor-o-laddy, [C] Toor-o-lee,
There is no one who can tell a lie like me.
