Intro - [C,F,G,C] [C,F,G,C]

       C             F
It was on the twenty third of June
   G             C
As I lay blasted in my room
  C                     F
A small bird sang on an ivy branch
        G                    C
And the song he sang was the jug of punch
    C           F
Turaluralie turaluralay
    G           C
Turaluralie turaluralay
  C                     F
A small bird sang on an ivy branch
        G                    C
And the song he sang was the jug of punch

C               F
I don't need my junkie friends
    C              F
All knockin' on my door
  C                F
I just wanna do an old time waltz
       G           C
With a buxom Irish whore

Chorus:
C             F
Call me Paddy Rolling Stone
       C                    F
I've a jug full of mountain dew
C             F
Call me Paddy Rolling Stone
         G                      C
When I'm howlin' at the ceilidh moon

(repeat chorus)

Break:
[C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C]
[C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C]

     C                F
Been drinkin' whiskey in the ditch
     C                     F
With Scruffy and Brick and Noel
C                 F
Now I've gone and lost my gear
        G              C
And I'm looking for my hole
C            F
We are Tex's Riders
       C                F
And we come from Nenagh Town
C                          F
One of these nights durin' one of those fights
            G                    C
We're gonna burn the whole place down

(repeat chorus x2)

   C                F
An when I die don't bother me
     C                 F
Just dig me a six foot hole
       C            F
With a candle at my head and feet
      G          C
And a jar of alcohol

(repeat chorus x2)

Outro: [C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C] x7
