[D]
[G] But I was just a little boy, my [D] one and only wish
Was [C] to get to see the show bands play the [G] marquee and [D] drumlish
[C] I'd watch them all arrive in [G] fine wagons and [D] big cars
[G] And I wondered what it would be like to [D] be a country [G] star
My father used to tell me [D] that I was far [G] too small
[C] And I had no chance to go to the [G] dance to see the [D] bands at all
But [C] my mother would get around him [G] and I would get [D] my wish
[G] And we'd go to see the mainliners [D] in the marquee and [G] drumlish
[C] I'd watch him as MacMahon [G] as he played his lead guitar
And I wondered how he got that sound to stop so near and far
When [C] Big Tom sang Gentle Mother, [G] sure I can [D] tell you this
[G] That everyone would sing along [D] in the marquee [G] and drumlish
[D] [G]
Larry and the Mighty Athens [D] were among my [G] favourites too
[C] How I envied Mickey Brady [G] with his Fender [D] coloured blue
[C] When Larry sang he'd have to go [G] low notes he'd [D] never miss
[G] You could hear that Benson echo [D] round the marquee [G] and drumlish
[C] [D]
[Ab] Telling me this country flavour [Eb] would take the [Ab] old bandstand
[Db] And I'd watch young Dan O'Hara [Ab] picking, playing by a [Eb] ramblin' man
[Db] And later on when I got [Ab] home I'd check the [Eb] old jam jar
[Ab] To see if I had saved enough [Eb] to buy my [Ab] first guitar
So [Db] next morning with my mother [Ab] we went to Lawnford Town
And she bought me that first guitar I think it cost [Eb] twelve pound
[Db] With Radio One Records [Ab] I'd practice [Eb] all alone
[Ab] Soon I had the job with the high lowest [Eb] and Gene Stewart [Ab] from Tyrone
[Eb] And [Ab]
[E] [A] then one Friday evening [E] came that biggest [A] break of all
[D] I was asked to join the [A] Buckaroos with the Mighty [E] Brian Paul
[D] We played all over Ireland, [A] England and the [E] USA
[A] And I owe a lot to Brian [E] for what I [A] am today
And [D] now the people tell [A] me that I could go far
We'd play all over Ireland from Cork to Tasselbar
[D] The carnival is over [A] and I still [E] got my wish
[A] For I got my inspiration [E] in the marquee [A] and drumlish
No I won't forget the marquee [E] in my native [A] town drumloose
[E] [A] [N]
