-5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
Oh, me name is Mac-Na-ma-ra,
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
I’m the lead-er of the band
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5
Al-though we’re few in num-ber,
3 -3 -4 -4 -3 3 -3
we’re the fin-est in the land
-5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
We play at wakes and wed-dings
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
and at ev-‘ry fan-cy ball
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 3
And when we play at fu-ner-als,
-3 -4 -4 -3 -3 3
we play the March from Saul
-5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
and the horns they blaze a-way
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 3
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon
-3 -4 -4 -3 3 -3
while I the pipes do play
-5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
and the mus-ic is some-thin’ grand
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 3
A cred-it to old Ire-land is Mac-Na-ma-ra’s band
Right now we are re-hears-in’
for a very swell af-fair
The an-nu-al cel-e-bra-tion,
all the gen-try will be there
When Gen-er-al Grant to Ire-land came
he took me by the hand
Says he, “I nev-er saw the likes
of Mac-Na-mar-a’s Band”
-5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
and the horns they blaze a-way
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 3
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon
-3 -4 -4 -3 3 -3
while I the pipes do play
-5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -1
and the mus-ic is some-thin’ grand
-4 4 4 4 4 -5 3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 3
A cred-it to old Ire-land is Mac-Na-ma-ra’s band
