Am G

Well I lately wandered over here to search for my Uncle Dan,

Am C E7

He left the town of Galway in the year of '51,

Where he gone to I don't know

I've searched this country high and low,

Am G F E7

But back to Galway I can't go,

Without my Uncle Dan.

Have you seen my Uncle Dan McCann?

Typical bit of a Galwayman,

Am C E7

He Came out to the USA in the year of '51.

If any of you neighbours living here

Have seen or heard of him anywhere,

Am G F E7

You'd oblige me if you'd help me find

My Uncle Dan McCann.

Well let me tell you about my Uncle Dan

By God he was a mighty man,

Am C E7

He swam the River Liffey twice a day

And he ran three rounds of the Phoenix Park,

And dance and sing just like a lark,

Am G F E7

And he wasn't afraid to go home in the dark,

My Uncle Dan McCann.

So have you seen my Uncle Dan McCann?

Typical bit of a Galwayman,

Am C E7

He came out to the USA in the year of '51.

If any of you neighbours living here

My Uncle Dan McCann.

*Note: I often like to strum just on the chord here*

Well I found my Uncle Dan McCann,

Very prosperous Yankee man,

Am C E7

He holds a seat in Congress, and he's leader of his clan.

He's helped to write America's laws,

His heart and soul is in Ireland's cause,

Am G F E7

God help the man who opens his jaws

To my Uncle Dan McCann.

*Regular Strumming*

So here's to my Uncle Dan McCann,

Typical bit of a Galwayman,

He belonged to the fight in '69,

My Uncle Dan McCann.

So here's to my Uncle Dan McCann,

Typical bit of a Galwayman,

Am C E7

Came out to the USA in the year of '51.

If any of you neighbours living here

Am G F E7

You'd oblige me if you'd help me find

My Uncle Dan McCann.
