Intro
LA MI FA#m MI
SIm RE MI
LA MI FA#m MI
SIm RE MI
LA SIm
My name is Sean O' Flaherty
MI RE
And a story I will tell
LA SIm
Come gather round, quiet down
RE MI
As so you hear it well
SIm DO#m
Listen for patience
RE
As I sing this song
LA SIm
For my voice it is weak
MI FA#m MI
And my drink it is strong
LA SIm
My father played the accordian
MI RE
A passion in his hands
LA SIm
To end the day, he'd sit and play
RE MI
The music of his land
SIm DO#m
He played it to forget
RE
And he played to recall
LA SIm
He played for his family
MI FA#m MI
But for me most of all
LA SIm
He said "Sean come and listen
MI RE
To what I have to say
LA SIm
The time has come for you, my son,
RE MI
To learn how to play."
SIm DO#m
"My hands have grown tired
RE
I've counted my moons
LA SIm
So please take my instrument
MI FA#m MI
With it take my tune."
[Interlude]

SIm RE MI
LA SIm
The music, it was brilliant
MI RE
The music, it was grand
LA SIm
The instrument would dance around
RE MI
Alive in my hands
SIm DO#m
And I played it to forget
RE
And I played to recall
LA SIm
I played this old instrument
MI FA#m MI
For my father most of all
LA SIm
In the cold month of January
MI RE
My father passed away
LA SIm
And in that time, I came to find
RE MI
The music hard to play
SIm DO#m
But troubled I was not
RE
With a drink in my hand
LA SIm
For it's easy to forget
MI FA#m MI
When it's hard just to stand
[Interlude]
LA MI FA#m MI
SIm RE MI
LA MI FA#m MI
SIm RE MI
LA SIm
So I brought my old accordian
MI RE
To the pub as if to play
LA SIm
But I pass it far, across the bar
RE MI
My drinking for to pay
SIm DO#m
You can drink to forget
RE
You can drink to recall
LA SIm
But I'll drink to this old instrument
MI FA#m MI
That hangs on the wall
[Outro]
