Irish Rovers - The Marvelous Toy Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
When I was just [C] a wee little [F] lad, full of [C] health and joy,
[Bb] Me daddy homeward [F] came one [G] night, and gave [C] to me a toy.
[F] A wonder [C] to behold it [F] was, with many [Bb] colours bright,
And the moment I laid [F] eyes on it, [G] it became my [C] heart's delight.
[F] Zip when it [C] moved, bop when it [F] stopped, whirr [Bb] when it stood still,
I never knew just [F] what it [G] was, and I guess I [F] never will.
[Gm] _ [C] _ [F] First [C] time that I picked it [F] up, I got a [Cm] big surprise,
[Bb] For right on its [F] bottom was two big [G] buttons, that looked like [C] big green eyes.
[F] I first pushed [C] one, and then the [F] other, then I [Bb] twisted its lead,
And when I set [F] it down again, [G] this is what [C] it did.
[F] Zip when it [C] moved, bop when it [F] stopped, whirr when [Bb] it stood still,
I [Gm] never knew [F] just what it [Gm] was, and I [C] guess I [F] never will.
[Gm] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] Then it marched [F] right, then it marched [C] under a chair,
[Bb] And when I looked [F] where it had [G] gone, [C] even there,
[F] I started to cry, [C] and me daddy laughed, [F] he knew [Bb] that I would find,
When I [Gm] turned around, [F] a marvellous toy [G] came a-chugging from [C] behind.
[F] Zip when it moved, bop when it stopped, whirr when it [Bb] stood still,
I [Gm] never knew [F] just what it [C] was, and I guess I [F] never will.
[Gm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
Years have gone by, [C] so quickly it seems, [F] now I have me own [C] little boy,
[Bb] And yesterday [F] I gave to him, [G] me marvellous little [C] toy, _
[F] His eyes nearly popped [C] right out of his head, [F] and he gave a squeal [Bb] of glee,
_ Neither one of us [F] knows just what it is, [G] but he loves it just [C] like me.
Zip [F] when it [C] moves, bop when it stopped, [F] whirr when it [Bb] stood still,
I never knew [F] just what it [C] was, and I guess I [F] never will.
[Bb] I never [F] knew just what it [C] was, and I guess I [F] never will.
[Bb] I never [F] knew just what it [C] was, and I guess I [F] never will.
