[F] [A#]
[Dm] Okay, [F] here's a song about an Irishman who had a little [C] bad luck.
[F] [C] And I've been told this is a [F#] true storocket, [B] till to my [D#m] dismay I found,
[F#] That halfway up I met the [C#] bloody barrel [F#] coming down.
Now the barrel broke me shoulder [C#] as to the [F#] ground it sped,
[B] And when I [F#] reached the top I [G#] banged the pulley [C#] with me head.
[B] I clung on [F#] tightly, numb with [B] shock from this [D#m] almighty blow,
[F#] And the barrel spilled out half the [C#] bricks fourteen [F#] floors below.
Now when these bricks had fallen [C#] from the barrel [F#] through the floor,
[B] I then [F#] outweighed the barrel and [G#] so started down [C#] once more.
[B] Still clinging [F#] tightly to the rope, [B] me body [D#m] wracked with pain,
[F#] Halfway down I met the [C#] bloody barrel [F#] once again.
[D] [G] Now the force of this collision [D] halfway down the [G] office block,
[C] Caused multiple [G] contusions [A] and a nasty state [D] of shock.
[C] Still clinging [G] tightly to the rope [C] I fell [Em] toward the ground,
[G] And landed on the broken bricks [D] the barrel had [G] scattered round.
Well I lay there groaning on the [D] ground, I thought I'd [G] passed the worst,
[C] But the barrel hit [G] the pulley wheel [A] and then the [D] bottom burst.
[C] A shower of bricks [G] rained down on me, [C] I didn't have [Em] a home,
[G] For as I lay there bleeding I [D] let go the bloody [G] rope.
The barrel being unsecured [D] then started down [G] once more,
[C] And it landed [G] right across me [A] as I lay there [D] on the floor.
[C] It broke three ribs [G] and my left arm, [C] and I can [Em] only say,
[G] That I hope you'll understand why [D] Murphy's not at work [C] today.
