Paddy Kelly’s Brew

I’m trying to learn this one today, it’s really fun and easy!

[G]Paddy Kelly is my name, making [C]whiskey is my [G]game
And I live away up there behind the [D]hills
I [G] can make a drop that’s pure and there’s [C] nothing it won’t [G] cure
It surpasses any [D] medicine or [G] pill

Chorus:
[G] Because it [C] tastes as sweet as honey as it [G] trickles down your throat
It looks as clear and pure as morning [D] dew
It [G] can make a fellow sing though he [C] doesn’t have a [G] note
Won’t you try a drop of [D] Paddy Kelly’s [G] Brew

[G] It can cure your rheumatism, it can [C] cure a wheezy [G] chest
It can cure you of the gout and gallstones [D] too
It [G] cures headache, toothache, backache, falling [C] hair and all the [G] rest
Fallen arches, corns and [D] bunions and the [G] flu

Chorus

[G] Any summer day you’ll find me [C] poaching in the [G] glen
Or setting snares for rabbits on the [D] hill
But [G] the nicest thing of all is when [C] evening shadows [G] fall
Just to watch the bottles [D] filling from my [G] still

Chorus

[G] I’ve a pound or two to spend, I’ve a [C] bottle for a [G] friend
I’ve got customers galore who buy my [D] brew
At a [G] wedding or a wake, I [C] supply the stuff they [G] take
And I keep a good supply the [D] whole year [G] through

Chorus

[G] Now, my friends, I will confess that the [C] world is in a [G] mess
And the politicians don’t know what to [D] do
I’ll [G] supply them with a plan that will [C] cure the ills of [G] man
Throw away the guns and [D] hand out Kelly’s [G] Brew
