Chorus (No chords first time):
A [D]row, a ruction, a [G]fracas, an af[D]fray
A [G]rough and tumble [D]free-for-all
A [A]broil, A brawl,A melee,
A [D]ruckus to be reckoned with and [G]now without de[D]lay
We're [G]taking the road to the [D]Dodder on down
To [A]march in the last [D]parade
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough and tumble free-for-all
A broil, A brawl, A melee,
A ruckus to be reckoned with if anyone wants to dare
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
For the Donnybrook affair.
[G]I will go, [C]I will meet you [G]there
[C]I will spend a [G]week or two with [D]you at Donnybrook Fair
[G]I will go, [C]I will meet you [G]there
But the [C]council's up in [G]arms,
They aim to [D]take it away, I [G]swear!
The [C]council's up in [G]arms
They aim to [D]take it away, I [G]swear.
A[(D)] license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
Break 1: D
[D]Play the harp and play the fiddle,
[G]Play the whistle [D]too,
[G]Bang the drum and [D]use the lungs
To [A]get the message through
But you [D]fight, you might get tar-and-feathered,
So, [G]bow and say a [D]prayer,
To the [G]Commission for the [D]Abolition
[A]Of the Donnybrook [D]Fair.
Chorus
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
A license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!

I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
And they aim to take it away, I swear
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear

They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
