Chords for Andy Irvine:The Close Shave

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's called The Close Shave. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I think I have a slight problem here with this.
_ It's my fault, but_
Oh dear, I do have a problem, don't I?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We'll have to chance it. _ _ _
I sit totally still. _ _
I don't think it's the lead, I think it's the connection inside. _

Come gather round, you diggers all,
The work, the gold, feels rare.
It's of a trick [Bb] was [F] played on me,
And it's caused me [C] to despair.
[F] I came to town the other day,
Me precious gold to trade,
And there I met a pretty maid,
Who did me heart betray.
[Bb] And her [F] lips were red as roses,
[Dm] And her [F] eyes a deep [C] sky blue,
[F] Her hair [A] as yellow as the [Bb] gold,
[F] She stole from me a view. _ _
We went [Bb] into a public [F] house,
And there we did imbibe,
Whiskey [Bb] and strong porter,
And [F] dreadful stuff [C] [F] besides.
T'was then she [Bb] asked me up to bed,
To which I did [F] agree,
But truth to tell, I fell asleep,
[Bb] Before [F] she'd earned her fee.
[Bb] And [F] her lips were red as roses,
[Dm] And her eyes a [C] deep sky [F] blue,
Her hair as [Am] yellow as [Dm] the gold,
She [F] stole from me a view. _ _
When I [Bb] awoke next [F] morning,
No trousers could I find,
But scattered [Bb] all around [F] the room
Were women's [C] clothes [F] so fine.
Me jacket, shoes and gold was gone,
And all that's left behind
Is a woman's dress, a yellow wig,
And a shaving kit not mine.
[Bb] Her lips [F] were red as [Dm] roses,
And her eyes a [C] deep sky [F] blue,
Her hair [Am] as yellow as the [Dm] gold,
She stole [F] from me a view. _ _
Why did she need [Bb] a wig?
[F] Why did she [C] need to shave?
[F] T'was then the [Bb] truth that [F] struck me,
And after a [C] blinding [F] rage,
She [Bb] pretty made some man I cried,
[C] And thanks [Bb] be, I [F] fell asleep,
For I'd rather lose a bag of gold,
Than wake up with that creep.
[Bb] Oh, her lips were [Dm] red as roses,
And her [C] eyes a deep sky [F] blue,
Her hair as yellow as the gold,
She stole from me a view.
_ _ Ah, you bastard! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
To venture in the [Bb] street [F] again,
I cautiously [C] inclined.
[F] I had a [Bb] shave put [F] on the wig,
And wore the [C] dress so [F] fine,
And as [Bb] I walked along [F] the street,
A [Am] digger [Bb] gave a [F] wink,
And I thought of [Bb] all the gold he had,
And I [Fm] offered him a drink.
[Bb] Oh, her [F] lips were red as roses,
And [Dm] her eyes a [C] deep sky [F] blue,
Her hair as yellow [Am] as the [Bb] gold,
She [C] stole from [F] me a view. _ _
Now you may think it sinful,
[Bb] You [C] may think it [F] bold,
To take advantage of the lads
Who [C] struggle for the gold.
[F] It's easy [Bb] putting on a dress,
And [C] drinking [Bb] whiskey [F] neat,
But leave your [Bb] shaving [F] kit behind
When they are fast asleep.
Oh, [Bb] her lips [F] were red as roses,
[Dm] And her eyes [C] a deep sky blue,
[F] Her hair as [Am] yellow [Bb] as the gold,
She [C] stole from [F] me a view.
[Bb] Yes, her lips [F] were red as roses,
[D] And her [C] eyes a deep sky [F] blue,
Her hair as yellow as the gold,
She stole from me a view. _ _
_ Now, don't applaud yet, _
Because Pizooki will just hang on. _ _ _ _
