Gaelic Storm

Courtin In The Kitchen

by Gaelic Storm
Gaelic Storm

Biography:

Gaelic Storm is a highly-acclaimed Celtic band. Their music ranges from traditional Irish and Scottish music to original tunes, in both the Celtic traditions. Gaelic Storm's origins can be traced back to 1996, when Patrick Murphy and Steve Wehmeyer joined with Steve Twigger and Uillean piper Brian Walsh to perform at O'Brien's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Santa Monica, California, of which Murphy was the manager. This led to a number of pub performances for the next year.

A fun little Gaelic Storm version of a classic. It is my first attempt
at figuring a song out and, while basic, I hope some may find it of use!
I don't know how to differentiate the barre chords from the open, so I
used the asterisk. Criticism (improvements) welcome!

G D
Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention
G C D
Don't ever fall in love - it's the devil's own invention
G Bm C* D*
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Em* D* C* D*
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's Kitchen

G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

G D
At the age of seventeen I was apprentice to a grocer
G C D
Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Henri used to go, sir
G Bm C* D*
Her manners were so fine, she set my heart a twitchin'
Em* D* C* D*
She invited me to a Courtin' in the Kitchen!

G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

G D
Next Sunday be the day that we were to have our flare up
G C D
I dressed meself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up
G Bm C* D*
The captain had no wife, he had gone a fishin'
Em* D* C* D*
So we kicked up our life to a hooley in her kitchen!

G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

[end solo]


G D
She slipped up to her room, I said: "Good Lord Almighty!"
G C (stop)
She came back down the stairs wearing nothing but her nighty!
G Bm C* D*
With her arms around me waist she slyly hinted marriage
Em* D* C* D*
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage!

G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

G D
Well the Captain came downstairs though he saw me situation
G C D
In spite of all me prayers I was marched off to the station
G Bm C* D*
For me they set no bail though to get home I was itchen'
Em* D* C* D*
And I had to tell the tale of how I came into that kitchen

G D
Well I swore she did invite me though she gave a flat denial
G C D
For assault they did indict me and I was sent for trial
G Bm C* D*
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all me screechin'
Em* D* C* D*
And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen!

G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G C D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy...
