 -3  -4   4  -4  -5    4  3  -2*  -2
Sure it takes a great big I-rish heart
2   2   -1 1* -1   -3
To sing an I-rish song
3* -3 -3*  -4   4   -5
An I-rish tune with all
 -4   3   -3   3    2
Those en-dear-ing charms
 3 -3  -4     3      3   -3    3
And a voice that's sweet and strong

 2    2 -1*  2  -2    3
Jip, jip my lit-tle horse
 -3     -3  -4  4    3
Sure, that's a tune sir
 -3  -3 -4 4  -3   3
Sung by an I-rish-man
 2     2   1   2   -1
More pow'r to him, sir

1   -1 -2  2  -1   1  2  3  4
Ev-'ry-bod-y sings of Ir-e-land
-3  -4   4  -4   4   -3  3  3*   -3
But it takes a great big I-rish heart
3   -3  4  4  -4   4
To sing an I-rish song
