removing the 3rd fret B string to the standard A7 chord.





    D                A7              DMy father came here from his home in Ireland,
       G               D                A7He was quiet but they said that he was wise.
       D                D7              G                EHe and Mother did their best, gave us a home and all the rest,
                     E7             A7But to talk to us he never had the time.
           D             A7                 DSure, he'd say "Pass the butter." or, "Come here young man."
          G                   D            A7Or, "Keep quiet." or, "No you can't have a dime."
          D              D7               G               EUntil the day when I was leavin' when Dad finally found a reason
                E7            A7For sharing his philosophy of life...

         D                     A7           DHe said: "A monkey fart should smell like a banana,
G                    D                  A7English farts should smell like cups of tea;
    D            D7             G               EThe farting of a fairy should be very light and airy,
                      E7                   A7When a father farts I hope you'll think of me.
   D                  A7               DAn Irish fart should always lilt with laughter,
          G                   D                   A7It should melt your heart and melt your shorts as well,
         D                     D7             G               
  EA lion's fart should roar with power, cuckoos should fart every hour,
                         E7             A7A nun's fart should have meaning but no smell;
  D                        A7               DA strong man's fart should sound out like a trumpet,
  G                    D            A7A pretty girl's should barely even squeak,
       D               D7           G                EBut the person you can trust is the one who'd rather bust
     E7                            A7Than ever let one rip right on the street..."


           D               A7            DWell, from my old man this really was an earful,
  G             D                  A7I tried to understand just what he meant;
               D             D7          G                 EHis words were primitive but strong so I wouldn't get them wrong,
                    E7           A7He was saying to be careful as I went.
       D            A7         DHe was saying to be happy as I could be,
       G               D             A7He was saying watch my step and as I pass,
     D               D7            G            ETo beware who I look up to, and whatever else I might do,
          E7 (Hold)                                        A7Know that most of what you get from folks is just escaping gas...
