And I'll [A] whoop the man that says it isn't [D] so
Singing [D] rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-[A7]lee
There is no one who can tell a lie like [D] me
You can [G] search until you tire, you won't [D] find a bigger [Bm] liar
I've been [A7] lying since the dawn of histo-[D]ry
I saw [D] Eve go pickin' apples off a [A] tree
She came [A7] over and she offered one to [D] me
I [G] turned and said, "Dear madam, go [D] try your luck with [Bm] Adam
I'm going [A] home to have some fish and chips and [D] tea."

She [A7] snipped away until his head was [D] bare
When he[G] couldn't run away, well she[D] married him next [Bm] day
And they [A] opened a barber shop in [D] Clare

I've been [A7] lying since the dawn of histo-[D]ry
With King [D] Billy at the Boyne I heard them [A] call
On his [A7] followers to follow till they [D] fall
Then he [G] said, "We'll win quite easy, and we'll [D] canonize the [Bm] beggar."
Then he [A] up and sang a verse of Derry's [D] Walls
