Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 5th

Verse :
G+G            C majorC
One fine day in May, the sun was on the sea
G+G          A minorAm
I went for a swim
I took along my bottle
G+G            C majorC
Swam among the waves so very calm indeed
  G+G    C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
And green as all the grass that grows from Howth to Dalkey
G+G            N/C
Swam around Killiney Bay, lovely day
G+G         D MajorD
Down below I see a couple of hungry fishes
G+G             C majorC
Then I went along my way, rounding the bay
G+G       C majorC   G+G   D MajorD     C majorC
I thought I'd better say a prayer for dear old daddy

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Holy mo, me father loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC        G+G
Holy moly me, he loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Holy moly me!

Instrumental:

C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   G+G x2

Verse :
G+G           C majorC
Stood upon a rock and looked out on the sea
G+G          A minorAm
Sleeping like a baby long before he's born
 G+G             C majorC
I felt the morning breeze so very sweet indeed
   G+G   C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
Like fishes in the night and seaweed in the morning
G+G               N/C
Took a towel and dried me back, lit up a fag
G+G             D MajorD
Watched the smoky blue go blowing out in the sunlight
G+G            C majorC
Out beyond Killiney Bay, over the sea
G+G       C majorC   G+G   D MajorD     D MajorD
I thought I'd better say a prayer for dear old daddy

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Holy mo, me father loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC        G+G
Holy moly me, he loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Holy moly me!

Instrumental:

C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   G+G x2

G+G          C majorC
I am happy here, my bottle is in my hand
G+G            A minorAm
Half a quart of beer is all I really need
 G+G          C majorC
I whistled out today, today I never planned
G+G   C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Never knew that I could do without my brother
G+G           N/C
Or me sister or me aunt, bad as they are
G+G            D MajorD
Never knew that I could do without my mother
G+G                     C majorC
Threw my bathing suit away, those who have seen it
G+G     C majorC   G+G      D MajorD
Once will never mind it, the others won't recognise it

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Holy mo, me father loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC        G+G
Holy moly me, he loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Holy moly me!

Instrumental:

C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   G+G x2

G+G           C majorC
Ran along the sand and jumped from rock to rock
G+G           A minorAm
Going to get a tan in places I never dreamed of
G+G         C majorC
Anyone I meet will surely get a shock
G+G       C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Unless they're doing the same as me this lovely evening
G+G               N/C
Turning cartwheels in the sand, over I go
G+G            D MajorD
Standing on my head and landing on my bottom
G+G                C majorC
Such a lovely day today, happy I am
   G+G    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
That I've got more to do than worry about my father

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Holy mo, me father loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC        G+G
Holy moly me, he loves Nikita Kruschev
C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Holy moly me!

Instrumental:

C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   G+G x4
