Old songs and old stories
        D
they keep us alive
        C
Without our past,
         D
we would never survive
     G
I am my island,
        D
my island is me
     C
So you know what you can do
      D            D
If you don’t like what you see

(refrão)
       G
Kiss me I’m Irish
         Em
I am the Wild Rover
          C
My eyes they are smiling
          D
And I’m seldom sober
          G
I like my whiskey
         Em
And I love to dance
           C
So if you’re feeling as lucky as me
      D
Take a chance…
          G      D                 G
And kiss me I’m Irish,         My heart beats a jig

            D
and me blood it flows green
         C
I’ve been a rogue and a rambler
        D
from ocean to sea
          G
And I like a 'bevy’, now and then,
            D
that I’ll never deny
         C
But I only drink on the days of the week
          D
that end with a 'Y’
                 G
I’m no saint, I’m no sinner,
             D
of that there’s no doubt.
               C
I’ll tell ya the truth I am the one
      D                  D
That your grandmother warned you about!
