Intro: [G G G C] [C G D G] repeat X 2

G
I am a ceilidh cowboy
                       C
I'm a stranger in this town
                           G
You should hear your women squeal with joy
       D                  G
When I get their knickers down
G
I'll dance them and romance them
                           C
Till they're nearly out of breath
                      G
Then when I take them out for air
     D                 G
I'll fuck them half to death

     C
Been sitting on the fridge close to the edge
G                                      D
Runnin out of coke and dyin for a poke
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/pogues/ceilidh_cowboy_crd.html ]
G
Don't lock up your wives and daughters
                            C
Don't lock up your cats and dogs
                         G
Like I came down here my feet all bare
      D                 G
And I sleep in a hollow log

Chorus: (repeat X 2)
C                     G
Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay
      C             G
Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee
      D         G
Yodle odle odle ay

Break: [G G G C] [C G D G] repeat X 2

My name is Father Emmett
I've been banished from my home
Cos all the women loved me
And I always had the bone
I can play the concertina,
guitar, bazouki and citern
When I dance the Siege of Ennis
The floor beneath me starts to burn

For a jar or two just to get me through
I'll do a turn for you... and absolve you too

I'll take care of your missus
All night long the whole night through
While you jump on that young one over there
That's makin eyes at you

Chorus: (repeat X 4)
C                     G
Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay
      C             G
Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee
      D         G
Yodle odle odle ay
