Chords for Donal Clancy - The Broad Majestic Shannon (2014, Germany)

[A] They're [C] once described as a cross between [N] the Clampley brothers and [C] the Texan coast.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
This is a pretty _ accurate description.
_ _ But he said he wanted to speak to my father and it turned out he wrote a song for my father. _
_ And his manager sent the recording and we put it on and [Fm] you couldn't [G] understand one word.
_ [E] Shame the guy on the thing. _
_ _ [F] _ _ So the song was forgotten about. _
About 10 years later my father [G] and I were in New York City and we were having a drink in a bar
and who walks in but Shane McGowan. _ _
_ And he says he never recorded the song. _ _
And he said I couldn't, my father said I couldn't understand it.
_ So Shane McGowan, [E] he got a beer and he [Abm] wrote out the words.
_ [G] And we had [C] the song then.
That's a great old song.
It's called The [Ab] Broad Magistic Shatter.
Try it, Dave.

[B] Last time I saw you was down at the [E] Greeks
[B] There was whiskey on Sunday and gin [Abm] on our cheeks
[B] He sang me a song just to cool down [E] the breeze
On [B] the road [Abm] leading up to [Gb] Wednesday _
_ _ [B] We sat for a while right [E] across the avenue
Where [B] young lovers would meet
When the flowers [Abm] were blue
[B] And the men coming home from the fair
[E] Gave him a rose
[B] Their hearts [Abm] were temporary [Ab] wherever [B] they go _
_ [E] Take _ _ _ _ _ [B] my hand _ _ _ and _ _ _ dry your _ _ _ tears, [Gb] _ Dave
_ Take [B] my _ hand, _ _ _ _ _
[E] forget _ [B] your sin, _ _ _ _ [Gb] Dave
_ There's [Abm] no _ _ pain, _ _ _ _ there's no [E] more _ _ _ _ _ [B] sorrow
_ There [Ebm] are _ none, _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ God [Gb] and me, _ _ _ [B] Dave _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Gb] I _ _
_ _ _ [B] sat for a while while you gathered [E] the ball
[B] Got the rusty tin can and the door [Abm] from the big ball
[B] Perfect cards being dealt and the rotary [E] all [B] that I filled
They shattered [Gb] through the town
_ _ [B] And the next time I see [E] you would be down at the Greeks
[B] There'd be whiskey on Sunday and tea on [Abm] our cheeks
[B] What a stupid _ laugh
And it's useless [E] to bawl about a [B] rusty tin can
And a note on a big wall
_ _ [Gb] _
[E] _ _ _ Take [B] my hand _ _ _ _ _ and dry your _ tears, _ _
[Gb] _ Dave
_ Take [B] my hand, _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] forget _
[B] your _ sin, _
_ [Gb] Dave
_ There's [Abm] no _ pain, _ _ _ _ _ there's no [E] more _ _ _ _
[B] _ sorrow
_ There [Ebm] are _ none, _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ God [Gb] and me, _ _ _ [E]

_ _ [B] I walked _ _ _ _ _
and the day was _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] dawning
And the small [B] birds _ sang _ _ _ _ [E] and the leaves [B] were _ _ _ falling
[Gb] _ _
Where we [Abm] once _ watched _ _ _ [B] the _ _ [E] rose _ _ _ fly
[B] _ _ _
_ [Ebm] By the broad _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
majestic [Gb] _ _ _ _
