The Hills Of Connemara chords by The Stillwater Hobos

G                            C       G
 Chorus: Gather up your pots and your old tin cans
                                    D
         The mash and the corn, the barley and the bran
         G                           C      G
         Run like the devil from the excise man
                                  D  G
         Keep the smoke from rising, Barney.


          G                   C        G
          Keep your eyes well-peeled today
                                     D
          The excise men, they?re on their way
          G                 C        G
          Searching for the mountain tay
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara.

   Chorus

          G                    C       G
          The mountain breezes as they blow
                       D
          Echo down to plains below
              G                C      G
          The big tall men are on the go
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara.


   Chorus

          G                     C            G
          Swing to the left now swing to the right?
                                   D
          The excise men, they can dance all night
          G                            C        G
          Drinking up the tay till the broad daylight
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara.

   Chorus

          G                            C        G
          A gallon for the butcher and big Nick Klein
                                    D
          A bottle for the poor old Father Stein
             G                 C     G
          To keep him off that altar wine
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara.

   Chorus

          G                      C        G
          Stand your ground, for it?s too late
                         D
          The excise men, they?re at the gate
          G                             C           G
          Glory be to Paddy for they?re drinking it straight
                               D   G
