[Intro]
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A Bm
My name is Sean O' Flaherty
E D
And a story I will tell
A Bm
Come gather round, quiet down
D E
As so you hear it well
Bm C#m
Listen for patience
D
As I sing this song
A Bm
For my voice it is weak
E F#m E
And my drink it is strong
A Bm
My father played the accordian
E D
A passion in his hands
A Bm
To end the day, he'd sit and play
D E
The music of his land
Bm C#m
He played it to forget
D
And he played to recall
A Bm
He played for his family
E F#m E
But for me most of all
A Bm
He said "Sean come and listen
E D
To what I have to say
A Bm
The time has come for you, my son,
D E
To learn how to play."
Bm C#m
"My hands have grown tired
D
I've counted my moons
A Bm
So please take my instrument
E F#m E
With it take my tune."
[Interlude]
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A Bm
The music, it was brilliant
E D
The music, it was grand
A Bm
The instrument would dance around
D E
Alive in my hands
Bm C#m
And I played it to forget
D
And I played to recall
A Bm
I played this old instrument
E F#m E
For my father most of all
A Bm
In the cold month of January
E D
My father passed away
A Bm
And in that time, I came to find
D E
The music hard to play
Bm C#m
But troubled I was not
D
With a drink in my hand
A Bm
For it's easy to forget
E F#m E
When it's hard just to stand
[Interlude]
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A E F#m E
Bm D E
A Bm
So I brought my old accordian
E D
To the pub as if to play
A Bm
But I pass it far, across the bar
D E
My drinking for to pay
Bm C#m
You can drink to forget
D
You can drink to recall
A Bm
But I'll drink to this old instrument
E F#m E
That hangs on the wall
[Outro]
