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