Mr. Connaughton by Ralph McTell
[Intro]
C#m H7 A H7 A H7 E
E H7 E A
Mr Connaughton my memory's long,
E H7 C#m H7
though the years have flown though the years have gone.
A E H7 C#m
Was your wife's name Marjorie or Mary?
C#m H7 A
Were you from Cork or Tipperary?
[Zwischenspiel]
C#m H7 A H7 E
E H7 E A
Mr Connaughton when we lived underneath
E H7 C#m H7
Oh you said it was a lucky man had a gap between his teeth
A E H7 C#m
And for a while I had a gap too
C#m H7 A
But it closed when my big teeth came through.
C#m H7 A H7 E
Oh it closed when my big teeth came through.
E H7 E A
Mr Connaughton you seemed to laugh such a lot
E H7 C#m H7
And that would make us smile too, as often as not
A E H7 C#m
Did you have a friend who was a soldier?
C#m H7 A
Well I'm gonna join the army when I'm older.
[Zwischenspiel]
C#m H7 A H7 E
E H7 E A
Well I know you paid a fiver for that old motorbike
E H7 C#m H7
And they said it wouldn't run, but I thought that it might.
A E H7 C#m
I was nearly asleep when it spluttered into life
C#m H7 A
And I clenched my fist and smiled a secret smile of delight
C#m H7 A H7 E
Was your first name Kevin or Mike?
E H7 E A
I remember when you built us a soap-box cart
E H7 C#m H7
With the wheels off a pram, and a plank out in the yard,
A E H7 C#m
And you gave us a bit of string but we steered it with our feet.
C#m H7 A
Oh boy it was the best one on the street,
C#m H7 A H7 E
And you said "Jesus, that's the best one on the street".
E H7 E A
I remember when your little girl was born
E H7 C#m H7
You brought her downstairs to show us all,
A E H7 C#m
And we were allowed to kiss her
C#m H7 A
And I wished she was my sister.
[Zwischenspiel]
C#m H7 A H7 E
E H7 E A
Mr Connaughton, you moved away
E H7 C#m H7
With your wife and your baby, but we stayed
A E H7 C#m
Till finally we got re-housed too
C#m H7 A
And I never will forget you
[Zwischenspiel]
