[F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So up in the Blue Stag Mountains [Bb] Darcy kept a [F] bit of a still
We were sneaking home a bottle [Dm] when the guards came [C] up the hill
[F] Loosed the booze tray Darcy [Bb] and before we [F] could reply
[Bb] He dumped it in the nose bag [C] of his donkey [F] standing by
The donkey had a ganky [Bbm] leg and only [F] one could eye
When he got a lick of the whiskey he swore that [C] he could fly
[Dm] He rucketed through the roundabout and down by [C] Jamesy's bar
[Bb] Then he vaulted through the hedges [C] at the track of [F] _ Ballantrae
It is to you, [Bb] to me and [F] one and all
That the Garda and the Garda [C] and the Goat be on the wall
[F] It is to you, [Bb] to me and [F] one and all
That they, that Darcy and the donkey [C] won the race that's [F] on the gall
Well _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ the Garda chased the donkey [Bb] and was followed [F] in pursuit
For fear they spilled the whiskey [Dm] we begged them [C] not to shoot
[F] Barrelled through the [Bb] turnstiles we got there [F] just in time
[Bb] To place our bets before the [C] lot of them [F] reached the starting line
The flag was up, the race was [Bb] on, the donkey [F] looked behind
But he saw the Garda after him, for sure he [C] didn't mind
[Dm] He had himself another sip and a second [C] one as well
[Bb] Then he bopped and kicked and knocked the [C] competition [F] all to hell
It is to you, [Bb] to me and [F] one and all
That the Garda and the [C] Garda and the Goat be on the wall
[F] It is to you, [Bb] to me and [F] one and all
That they, that Darcy and the donkey [C] won the race that's [F] on the [Gb] gall

_ _ _ Well the donkey passed the post, a [C] barrel of her [G] two ahead
He finished off the whiskey [Em] and then hobbled [D] over there
[G] We went to check the bets and [C] found when everything [G] was done
[C] The Garda came in second [D] and paid thirty-five to one
[G] So he dragged the donkey's carcass [C] down to James' [G] for a pint
To drink up all our winnings and to celebrate [D] the night
[Em] We missed the poor old donkey, still we [D] had to laugh
[C] But James he made a trophy [D] of the donkey's [G] better half
So [C] raise a beer in the air, to the famous [D] song yeah
[C] Everybody [D] raise a glass that [G] D'arcy's ass
_ [C] Everybody [D] raise a glass that [G] D'arcy's ass
