Jug of This (chord chart)

2012 March 11

It’s six days until St. Patrick’s Day! I’m going to share some of my chord charts of Irish songs each day leading up to Saturday’s festivities.

Don’t forget, I’ll be playing two gigs on St. Patrick’s Day!

  • Noon to 4 PM at the grand opening of the Black Rose in Lansing, MI – info
  • 5:30-8:30 at Lu & Carl’s in Brighton, MI – info

Here’s a traditional song the Clancy Brother’s sang. I haven’t been able to find any chord charts on the Internet, so I thought I’d share mine:

Jug of This – Clancy Brothers

Capo 1: All chords relative to capo

Ye mourners all [Em], as you pass by [Em]
Come in and drink [Em] if you are dry [D/A]
Just call your drinks [Em] think not amiss [G]
And pop your nose [D/A] in a jug of this [Em]

When I am old [Em] and can scarcely crow ]Em]
With an old grey beard [Em] and a head that’s bald [D/A]
Crown my desire [Em] and fulfill my wish [G]
A pretty young girl [D/A] and a jug of this [Em]

When I am in [Em] my grave and dead [G]|
And all my sorrows [Em] are past and fled [D/A]
Transport me then [Em] into a fish [G]
And let me swim [D/A] in a jug of this [Em]
