Chorus
Oh, I'm (Em)Barney Hare from the (D)County Clare,
And (Bm)Ireland I was (D)born in;
I (Em)pawned me coat for to (D)take the boat,
And I (G)landed (D)here this (Em)morning.
Ah now,
(Em)when I landed (D)on the quay,
Sure,
I (Bm)found meself in (D)danger;
Some (Em)boys
began to (D)follow me,
For they
(G)knew I (D)was a (Em)stranger.
Says (G)one
of them, "Give me that stick!"
From me
he tried to snatch it;
So I (C)brought
it (G)down u(Am)pon his (G)crown,
With a
(Em)blow that made him (C)scratch (G)it.
Chorus
Now I
(Em)walked in peace and (D)quietness,
Till I
(Bm)came to the big church (D)steeple;
Says a
(Em)fellah to me: "Take (D)in your feet,
Can't
you (G)see you're (D)trippin' the (Em)people?"
Says (G)I
to him, "Give me none of your guff."
Says he,
"Give me none of your Blarney."
So I (C)hit
him a (G)clout at the (Am)foot of the (G)snout,
And I
(Em)says, "Remember (C)Bar(G)ney."
Chorus
Ah (Em)now,
I can dance an (D)Irish jig,
Have you
a (Bm)job of journey (D)work, sir?
Sure,
I've (Em)got a heart as (D)big as gold,
I (G)plow
the (D)fields like (Em)Turks, sir.
At the
(G)harvest fair you'll find me there,
All the
latest songs I'll sing, sir;
I'm (C)Barney
(G)Hare from the (Am)County (G)Clare,
I can
(Em)make the rafters (C)ring, (G)sir.
