Verse:
        D
We were sitting on the wall upon a Sunday
   G                  D
To watch the girls go by
      D
And a'thinkin' we'd be marrit to one one day
       Em                  G
When a colleen caught our eye
   D
Oh man, she was the makin's of a fairy
    G               D
She made each boy'o swear
        G                    D

'Bout the colour of her eyes or hair
    G                 D

Sez Sharkey she'll be coming to the shop now

To buy some sort of thing

And I'll ask her if she has a mind to stop now
       Em                  G
And should I buy her the ring
        D
And when she sees the curtains on the window
   G                  D
And the tall clock on the stair
   G                  D
Keeping time to the minute no-one else will be in it

Sez Fagan 'tis the father I'll be plaising

        D
I'll tell him of the cattle that I'm grazing
       Em                  G
And the house I mean for to build

And when he sees the arable and pasture

And the fat stock grazing there

Verse:
        D
No, I never said a single word about her
   G                  D
But I met that girl that day
        D
And I told her that I couldn't live without her
       Em                  G
And what had she for to say
        D
She told me to go and ask her father
   G                  D
Which I did right then and there
   G                  D
And in less than an hour we were fighting for the dower
         Em       A        D
Of the darling girl from Clare

Chorus:
A   D
Now every man has got the finest plan

That she'll agree now, Oh you'll see now
     G                            D
But late last night when the moon was bright

I axed her if she would share
       G                     D
All me joy and me sorra, and begorrah on tomorra
          Em       A        D
I'll be married to the girl from Clare

       G                     D
