Plastic Paddy Acordes

[Chorus]
D                                  G             D
He's just a Plastic Paddy, singin' Plastic Paddy songs
D                                G                A
In a Plastic Paddy pub that they call The Blarney Stone
D                                              G                  D
There's plastic shamrocks on the wall, there's Guinness and green beer
D                                        G                   A
And a sign in gaelic above the bar which says “God Bless All Here”
 
[Verse 1]
D                                           G              D
His guitar sounds like a wardrobe, and it's out of tune at that
D                                  G          A
His singin' voice it ranges from A sharp to A flat
D                                               G                  D
He's just desecrated “The Holy Ground”, ripped apart “Black Velvet Band”
D                                                      G               A
Sang “Seven Nights Drunk” and now he's sunk “The Irish Rover” with all hands
 
[Chorus]
D                                         G             D
'Cause he's just a Plastic Paddy, singin' Plastic Paddy songs
D                                 G               A
In a Plastic Paddy pub that they call The Blarney Stone
D                                             G            D
There's Aer Lingus posters everywhere showing pretty Irish scenes
D                             G           A
All peaceful and idyllic, and very bloody green!
 
[Verse 2]
D                                                 G            D
He's done awful things to “Molly Malone” and “The Fair Rose of Tralee”
D                                 G                A
He's murdered “Carrickfergus” and poor old “Mother Machree”
D                                                        G          D
He's just thrashed his way through “Galway Bay” and “The Wild Irish Rose”
D                                               G                A
And if he starts singing “Danny Boy”, I'm gonna punch him in the nose!
 
[Bridge]
D G D   D G A
D G D   D G A
 
[Verse 3]
D                                      G            D
"When Irish Eyes are Smiling" and “The Mountains of Mourne”
D                                   G                 A
In his search for Celtic chiché, he has left no stone unturned
D                                   G                   D
'Til he embarks upon “The Harp That Once Through Tara’s Halls”
D                                    G                    A
Accompanying himself on the Bodhrán, which takes a lot of - courage
 
[Chorus]
D                                         G             D
'Cause he's just a Plastic Paddy, singin' Plastic Paddy songs
D                                G                A
In a Plastic Paddy pub that they call The Blarney Stone
D                                            G             D
Now he's just sung in his mother tongue, the ancient Irish Erse
D                                     G            A
And cleared the pub completely by the forty-second verse!
 
[Verse 4]
D                                         G             D
'Cause he's just a Plastic Paddy, singin' Plastic Paddy songs
D                                         G               A
He's started singin' “Danny Boy”, so it's time that I was gone
D                                           G                   D
And just one thought comes to my mind, as I stagger through the door
D                     G                 D
Where are you when we need you, Christy Moore?
 
[Outro]
D                     G                 D       A D
Where are you when we need you, Christy Moore?
