Lyrics
Shy Irishman
{Capo: 1st fret - Key of Bb}
[A] Won't you just [E] walk my [A] way
And [D] smile me a [A] smile
You're [D] sure to see a [A] light
The [E] strong [D] light of [A] love [E]
Chorus:
[A] I'm a shy [E] Irish-[A]-man, [D] love shy, all of my [A] days
I'm a [D] born faithful [A] soul, [E] hoping, but [D] set in my [A] ways [E]
If you [A] like [E] what you [A] see
Move [D] closer and [A] wink
I'll [D] drop what I'm [A] doing
And [E] ask [D] you, your [A] name [E]
If [A] after [E] courting [A] you
You [D] still like what you [A] see
We'll [D] marry and settle [A] down
To [E] life, [D] love and [A] joy [E]
Chorus twice ; ending quickly [A7/C#m C#m/A (long)A]
