Muldoon Solid Man

The Chieftains


Tom: Am

       C      Am
I am a man of great influence
    G             C    Am
And educated to a high degree
            C          Am  G
I came when small from Donegal
C      Am     G          C          Am
And me cousin Jimmy came along with me
       Am              F   C
On the city road I was situated
     F       C             F       Am
In a lodging house with me brother Dan
        C             Dm  C
Till by perseverance I elevated
C     Am          G                 D     C
And I went to the front just like a solid man

[Chorus]

   Am                      C
So come with me and I will treat you dacent
C    Am      G               D    C    Am
I’ll set you down and I will fill your can
    C         Am             Am        G
And along the street all the friends I meet
C          Am      G     E      D     C
Say "There goes Muldoon, he’s a solid man."

[Verse]

  C                    Am
I control the Tombs, I control the island
   G                 C      Am
My constituents they all go there
     C                  Am   G
To enjoy their summer’s recreation
C      Am       G          C          Am
And to take the enchanting East River air
     Am                   F        C
I am known in Harlem, I’m known in Jersey
     F        C         F     Am
I am welcomed hearty at every hand
    C                    Dm        C
And come what may on St. Patrick’s Day
C    Am    G           D     C
I'll march away like a solid man


[Chorus]

   Am                      C
So come with me and I will treat you dacent
C    Am      G               D    C    Am
I’ll set you down and I will fill your can
    C         Am             Am        G
And along the street all the friends I meet
C          Am      G     E      D     C
Say "There goes Muldoon, he’s a solid man."
