Hello, my name is Paddy, I play this here guitar
G                               C       D     G
Hello, my name is Paddy, I like whiskey in my jar
C                                G
I come here to [Insert Bar name] to play my songs for you
G                           C         D       G
If you don't like them, you know what you can do

Paddy's short for Patrick, who is Ireland's patron saint
G                             C            D       G
He drove away the serpents in story that's old and quaint
C                                  G
But Paddy's not concerned with any history to make
G                             C        D         G
He doesn't mind if any lassie wants to chase his snake

So, Paddy went a strollin' one nice November day
G                              C      D       G
He came upon a leprechaun, the little elf did say,
C                                       G
"If you can catch me Paddy, you'll be a rich man when you're old!"
       G                                  C         D      G
Paddy, killed that fucking leprechaun and stole his pot of gold

[Verse 4]
G                             C        D      G
So Paddy went a travelin', he hopped into his car
G                             C       D        G
He settled down in Hollywood, way out west out thar
C                                  G
He's had his ups n' downs, and he's made some big mistakes,
G                              C       D       G
Especially hanging out with Oj Simpson and Tom Cruise.

[Verse 5]
G                      C      D        G
Paddy took a fever, he nearly lost his head
G                                     C     D          G
And early the next morning they found Paddy stone cold dead
C                                       G
The doctor said, "good thing he has two sons who will survive him."
G                                        C         D     G
The other doctor said, "I think I know a song that could revive him."
