Spanish Lady

Tom : G
G Em Am D7
As I came down thru Dublin city at the hour of twelve at night
G Em Am D7
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady, washing her feet by candlelight
G Em G D
First she washed them then she dried them over a fire of amber coals
G Em Am D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet about the soul

[Chorus 2x]
G Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 2]
G Em Am D7
As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight
G Em Am D7
Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broad daylight
G Em G D
First she tossed it then she combed it, on her lap was a silver comb
G Em Am D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so fair since I did roam

[Chorus 2x]
G Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 3]
G Em Am D7
As I came back thru Dublin city as the sun began to set
G Em Am D7
Who should I see but the Spanish lady catching a moth in a golden net
G Em G D
When see saw me then she fled me lifting her petticoat over her knee
G Em Am D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady

[Chorus 2x]
G Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 4]
G Em Am D7
I've wandered north and south through Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close
G Em Am D7
Up and around the by the Gloucester Diamond and back by Napper Tandy's house
G Em G D
Old age has laid her hand on me cold as a fire of ashy coals
G Em Am D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady
