DShe stood beside my narrow bed
ATo check my E.DK.G.
DShe shook her pretty little head
At what’s become of Ame
DI thought I glimpsed a path that led
BmThrough rhododAendron dDays
DAnd fuchsia nights to the boatshed
AIn which we two once lDay
[Chorus]
BmBut she gazed only at my chart
The valleyGs and the peaks
GBrought back the time she broke my heart
AIn Macgillycuddy’s ReDeks
BmBut she gazed only at my chart
The valleGys and the peaks
GBrought back the time she broke my heart
AIn Macgillyduddy’s ReDeks
[Verse]
DI saw her on Killarney’s shore
AOne morning in DJuly
DWhen I still thought I was a thorn
Trying to find a sidAe
DI met her in the little launch
BmThat runs to IAnnisfallDen
DHunched together, haunch to haunch
ATrying to keep my balaDnce
[Chorus]
BmBut she upset my applecart
She kissed Gme on the cheek
GAnd I was struck by Cupid’s dart

Your forecGast’s pretty bleak
GThe NASDAQ goes by dips and starts

GThe NASDAQ goes by dips and starts
ALike Macgillycuddy’s DReeks”

[Intro]

D A

[Verse]

She stood beside my narrow bed

A D

To check my E.K.G.

She shook her pretty little head

At what’s become of me

I thought I glimpsed a path that led

Bm A D

Through rhododendron days

And fuchsia nights to the boatshed

A D

In which we two once lay

[Chorus]

But she gazed only at my chart

The valleys and the peaks

Brought back the time she broke my heart

A D

In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

But she gazed only at my chart

The valleys and the peaks

Brought back the time she broke my heart

A D

In Macgillyduddy’s Reeks

[Verse]

I saw her on Killarney’s shore

A D

One morning in July

When I still thought I was a thorn

Trying to find a side

I met her in the little launch

Bm A D

That runs to Innisfallen

Hunched together, haunch to haunch

A D

Trying to keep my balance

[Chorus]

But she upset my applecart

She kissed me on the cheek

And I was struck by Cupid’s dart

A D

In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

I was struck by Cupid’s dart

A D

In Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

[Verse]

She was a systems analyst

A D

For a dot com company

She said, “You think because we’ve kissed

I’ll be yours eternally

I’ll sign another pre-nup

Bm A D

And we’ll merge our P.L.C.s

That’s why most girls go belly-up

A D

In this economy

[Chorus]

But when it comes to a jump start

Your forecast’s pretty bleak

The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts

A D

Like Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Macgillucuddy’s Reeks

The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts

A D

Like Macgillycuddy’s Reeks”
