Mountains of Mourne [C]
Percy French ☘️
Intro: [F G C]
Oh, [C] Mary this London's a [F] wonderful sight
Where the [G] people are workin' by [F] day and by [C] night
They don't sow potatoes, nor [F] barley, nor wheat
But there's [G] gangs of them diggin' for [F] gold in the [C] street
At [G] least when I asked them that's [C] what I was told
So I just took a hand at this [F] diggin’ for [G] gold
But for [C] all that I found there I [F] might as well be
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C] sea
I believe that when writin' a [F] wish you expressed
As to [G] how the fine ladies in [F] London were [C] dressed
Well, if you'll believe me, when [F] asked to a ball
They [G] don’t wear no top to their [F] dresses at [C] all
Oh, I've [G] seen them myself and you [F] could not in [C] truth
Say if they were bound for a [F] ball or a [G] bath
Don't be [C] startin’ them fashions, now [F] Mary McCree
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F]down to the [C] sea
You remember young Peter O’[F] Loughlin of course
Well, [G] now he is here at the [F] head of the [C] force
I met him today, I was [F] crossing the Strand
And he [G] stopped the whole street with one [F] wave of his [C] hand
And [G] there we stood talking of [F] days that are [C] gone
While the whole population of [F] London looked [G] on
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea
[Outro - Slower]
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea

This Ole House - Shakin Stevens
Verse 1:

This ole [G7] house was home and comfort as we [C] fought the storms of life.
This old [C] house once rang with laughter, this old [F] house heard many shouts,
Now she [G7] trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks a[C]bout.
|Chorus:
|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,
|Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more.
|Ain't got [G7] time to fix the shingles, ain't got [C] time to fix the [C7] floor,
|Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges nor to [C] mend the window [Am] pane.
|Ain't gonna [G7] need this house no longer,
|I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints.
Verse 2:
This ole [C] house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole [F] house is a-gettin' old.
This ole [G7] house lets in the rain, this ole [C] house lets in the cold.

'Cause I [G7] see an angel peekin' through a broken window [C] pane.

|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,

This ole [C] house is afraid of thunder,this ole [F] house is afraid of storms.
This ole [G7] house just groans and trembles, when the [C] night wind flings its arms.
This ole [C] house is gettin' feeble, this old [F] house is needin' paint.
Just like [G7] him it's tuckered out, but he's a-gettin' ready to meet his [C] saint.
|Chorus:
|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,
|Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more.

|Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges nor to [C] mend the window [Am] pane.
