At the end of the day I like a little drink, to raise up me voice and sing

     F                              C                                   D7                G       G7

An hour or two with the mind-drop brew and I’m ready for any-thing

At McClosky’s Inn there were sisters four, the land lord’s daughters fair

         F                                 C                             D7                 G        G7

      F                         C                        D7                          G       G7

McClosky’s Inn was beckonin’ and me heart was filled with glee

           C                 G7               C        F               C           G7         C

BUT, there on the shore were the sisters four with a bundle upon each knee

                   F                            C                                 D7                      G       G7
