[C] Watched them all arrive in [G] fine wagons [D] and big cars
[G] And I wondered what it would be like [D] to be a [G] country star
My father used to tell me [D] that I was [G] far too small
[C] And I had no chance to go to the [G] dance to see the [D] bands at all
[C] But my mother would get round him [G] and I would get [D] my wish
[G] And we'd go to see the mainliners [D] in the marquee [G] and drumlish
[C] I'd watch him, Miss MacMahon, [G] as he played his lead guitar
And I wondered how he got that sound's love so [D] near and far
[C] When 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 Evans [D] were among my [G] favourites too
[C] How I envied Mickey Brady with [G] his fender [D]-coloured blue
[C] When Larry sang, he'd have to go, [G] no notes he'd [D] never miss
[G] You could hear that fencing echo [D] round the marquee [G] and drumlish
[C] [G]
[D] [Ab] Philomena's country flavour [Eb] would take the old [Ab] bandstand
[Db] And I'd watch him down O'Hara, pick [Ab] and play my [Eb] ramblin' man
[Db] And later on when I got home [Ab] I'd check the old [Eb] jam jar
[Ab] To see if I had saved enough [Eb] to buy my first [Ab] guitar
So [Db] next morning with my mother [Ab] we went to Longford Town
And she bought me that first guitar, I think it cost [Eb] twelve pounds
[Db] With radio and records [Ab] I'd practice all [Eb] alone
[Ab] Soon I had the job with the Highlows and [Eb] Gene Stewart from [Ab] Tyrone
[Eb] And
[Ab] [E] [A] then one Friday evening came [E] that biggest break [A] of all
[D] I was asked to join the Bookaroos [A] 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 am [A] today
And [D] now the people tell me [A] that I could go far
We play all over Ireland from Cork to [Dbm] Chastonbar
[D] The carnival is over [A] but I still got [E] my wish
[A] For I got my inspiration in [E] the marquee and [A] drumlish
No I won't forget the marquee in [E] my little town [A] homes

She makes me act and dress my best, keeps me [Gb] filled with happiness
