(Great Big Sea)
This is an improvement on the previous two tabs by Chords Barry O'Brien, and
Well come Ggather all around Amme.
There is sComething you should Dknow.
There is Gno place quite like thAmis place.
If we gCet it on the Dgo.
So, pile your books up in the corner.
Hang your jackets from the door.
There's thirty people in the kitchen.
And there's always room for more.
(Chorus)
GOh-COh-DOh, Come on now.
GLet's Clock the Dworld outside.
GOh-COh-DOh Come on I Gtell you now 
She's Cgoin' Dup toGnight.
G  Am  C  D

Well there'll be music all around you.
You should see the way it feels.
Come on off we go now heal in toe now.
To the jigs and reels.
Well somebody's got a fiddle.
And someone else brought a guitar.
We got Bobby on the squeeze box.
Got my chair and mason jar.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Well there'll be smiling there'll be laughing.
Well that's good enough for me.
There'll be dancing all around you.
This is where you want to be.
So pile your books up in the corner.
Hang your jackets from the door.
There's thirty people in the kitchen.
And there's always room for more.
