Chords for Gaelic Storm- Darcy's Donkey

_ _ Um, here, outside, that is.
No then, this next song, this next [D] song was owed to a good friend of ours we met tonight.
Yes.
His name was Chuck.
His name is [A] Chuck, yes.
Yes, [F] where's Chuck?
Chuck is up there in [G] the back I think, hopefully he's still here.
[Am] _ Chuck, [E] where are you Chuck, where are you?
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] Chuck just had like 16 operations.
There he is.
Chuck, stand up for God's sake man.
Stand up, there he is. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ He's had _ a_
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Wow, that was good.
_ _ But Chuck has, he said he had 16 operations on his heart and his legs and stuff and he said he's [Bb] actually 70 years of age and he said he's delighted [Eb] to be, he's lucky to [Abm] be here.
And I said to him, Chuck, let's have 16 more, come [Gb] on, you know what I mean?
And he's here tonight, so this next song [Ab] is for Chuck.
[G] And I asked him, I [N] asked him, what's your favourite song?
And he said, it's the song about the donkey. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And for all the Gaelic Storm virgins in the audience, how [F] many people have [Bb] not seen the band before?
[E] St.
Patrick, you [Fm] obviously haven't seen the band before.
[F] _ _ _
_ [N] This song is about a little [G] donkey from Ireland and he died from drinking too much whiskey. _
_ [N] _ _ _ But before he [F] died, he won the race, he beat all the thoroughbreds, [C] damn the thoroughbreds, I said.
[Bb] _ _ _ At the local racetrack.
[N] _ And when he died, they [Gbm] stuffed him and they put him on the [G] wall in James's Bar in [N] Donegal.
And if you don't believe me, and how old is this little girl here holding up the banner? _ _
Two!
_ _ _ _ This _ _ [E] song is for you too, sweetheart.
She [Gm] says, I want Darcy's drunken donkey. _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ She's awesome.
She is awesome.
So we've got Chuck over there, who is a young, a very young 70.
And we've got this beautiful girl over here, who's by the looks of it a very old two.
Two _ _ going on 24.
And I cannot wait. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ By the way, by the way, is her around next? _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] I cannot, I hope to God there's nobody here from China Services in the [N] audience.
_ She wants a drunken donkey.
Dear God.
Right [G] then. _
[C] So if you don't [F] believe me, if you don't believe me, you can go [N] to the Google, the Google machine we call it.
_ _ For some reason if you put the word there in front of Google, it just doesn't sound that cool anymore.
_ Go to [G] the Google and check out James's Bar, [N] _ Ballantrae, Donegal.
It's a real place.
Yes, it is.
And they have a donkey stuffed in the wall.
No.
_ _ [F] _
We had to write a song about it.
Here [D] we go.
Ladies and gentlemen, the only [Abm] song in the world [N] that starts off with a spoon solo.
_ _ _ _ Get _ _ _ _ _ _ _
your video cameras out there, everybody.
Got it.
Post it to YouTube.
To YouTube.
Check it to, post it on the Google.
_ _ Or the Wikipedia.
_ _ _ _ Or the Twitter.
Or Twitter, sorry. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The Myspace.
Or _ the Facebook.
Yes.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ And for some reason if you put the word a, [N] the letter, sorry, not the word, a, in front of apple, a-apple, sounds stupid as well. _
_ How many people would eat a apple? _
_ _ _ That's all? _ _
How many people would eat a egg?
_ [D] _ _
There you go.
How many people would check out the Google [G] tomorrow?
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Check out their spoons. _ _
Sure.
That actually makes sense. _ _ _
_ [F] Boom.
Psh.
Spoon solo.
Take that, Bruce [N] Springsteen. _ _ _ _
The _ boss doesn't have spoons. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ Silence, [Fm] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ please. _ _
[F] _ _ [N] _ Chorus concentration. _ _
_ Hey, Bruce.
_ Get _ on [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ with it. _
_ _ _ _ You're gonna miss it. [N] Psh.
_ _ _ If _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ you'd let me be the camera, she'd take a [E] flash photo at the same [Dm] time.
[G] Blame me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] We're [C] good, aye.
[F] When he got a lick of the whiskey, [Dm] he swore that [C] he'd fly.
[Dm] He rocketed through the roundabout and down [Em] Virginia's bar.
[Bb] He bolted through the hedges [Em] of the track [F] about a try.
So here's to you, [Bb] to me, to [F] it all.
To the garner, the [C] garner, the trophy on the [F] wall.
Here's to [Bb] you, to me, one and [F] all.
The day the dinosaur's drunk and donkey won the race and on he go.
Ho! _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] Well, the garner chased the donkey [Bbm] and we followed [C] in pursuit.
For [F] fear they spilled the whiskey, [Dm] we begged them [C] not to shoot.
We [F] barreled through the [Bb] turnstiles, we got there [C] just in time.
[Bb] To place our bets before the [C] lot of them reached the [F] starting line.
The flag was up, the race was [Em] on, the donkey [Dm] looked behind.
He saw the cars were after him, but sure he [C] didn't mind.
[D] He had himself [Dm] another sip, a second [C] one as well.
[Bb] And he bumped again to knock the [C] competition [F] off to hell.
So here's to you, [Bb] to me, and one [F] and all.
To the garner, the [C] garner, the trophy on the [F] wall.
Here's to [Bb] you, to me, and one and [F] all.
The day the dinosaur's drunk and donkey won [C] the [F] race and on he go.
Everybody, be [Gb] the [G] donkey!
Be the donkey!
[C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ [G] _ _ Be _ [C] _ [D] _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] the [Em] donkey!
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Look [Em] behind!
_ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ _ Well, the donkey passed the [Em] poster board, [Am] a lap or two ahead.
[G] He finished off the whiskey [Em] and then toppled [D] over [G] dead.
We went to check the bets and [C] phones when everything [D] was done.
[C] The [G] garner [Am] came in second, [D] having 35 [G] to 1.
So he dragged the donkey's carcass [Am] down to James, he could have [G] liked.
To drink a ball, to win an egg, and to celebrate [D] the night.
[Em] We missed the poor old donkey, but still we [D] had to laugh.
[C] When James, he made a trophy [G] of the donkey's fella.
So [C] raise a beer in the air, and do the play with the [D] bear.
[C] Everybody [D] raise a glass to [G] Darcy's ass.
Darcy's ass!
[C] Everybody [D] raise a glass to [G] Darcy's ass.
Darcy's ass! _
Here's to you, [C] to me, and one [G] and all.
To the garner, the [D] garner, the trophy on the [G] wall.
Here's to [C] you, to me, [G] and one and all.
The day that Darcy's drunken donkey [D] won the [G] race, and then he go.
The day that Darcy's drunken donkey won the race, and then he go.
Woo! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank you. _ _ _
_ _ Thanks for the [A] work.
Alright [N] everybody.
