Cadd9

Capo II

Ch. She Em 
played the fiddle 
G 
in an Irish band

But she D 
fell in love 
Cadd9 
with an English man

Cadd9 
Kissed her on the neck and 
G 
then I took her by the hand

Said, "D 
Baby, I just 
D 
want to dance"


1. I met her on Em 
Grafton street 
G 
right outside of the bar

She shared a D 
cigarette with me while 
C 
her brother played the guitar

She asked me Em 
what does it mean, the 
G 
Gaelic ink on your arm?

Said it was D 
one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?


She took Em 
Jamie as a cha
G 
ser, Jack for the fun

She got D 
Arthur on the table 
C 
with Johnny riding a shotgun

Am7 
Chatted some more, 
G 
one more drink at the bar

Then put D 
Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
Ch. You know, she C 
played the fiddle 
G 
in an Irish band

But she D 
fell in love 
C 
with an English man

C 
Kissed her on the neck and 
G 
then I took her by the hand

Said, "D 
Baby, I just want to dance"

With my pretty little Cadd9 
Gal
G 
way Girl
D Em 
 

You're my pretty little Cadd9 
Gal
G 
way Girl
D Em 
 


2. You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
After dancing the céili singing to trad tunes

I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
A cappella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me

Ch. 

3. And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

Ch. (same chords as the intro chorus)

: Happier

1: Walking down 29th and Park,
I saw you in another's arms.
Only a month we've been apart,
you look happier…

2: Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do

3: Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

4: 'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

5: Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?

6: Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you

7: But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you

8: Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you

: I see fire

Intro: Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

1: If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night, calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

2: And if we should die tonight, then we should all die together,
raise a glass of wine for the last time.
Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Ref: Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
3: Oh, should my people fall, then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls, we got too close to the flame
Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Ref: Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Bridge: And if the night is burning, I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns, then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down, it crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground, I hear my people screaming out

Ref: Now I see fire, inside the mountains
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze

Outro: I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

: Perfect

1: I found a G 
love for 
Em 
me.

Darling, just C 
dive right in and follow my 
D 
lead.

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet.
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me.

2: 'Cause we were just kids when we G 
fell in love,

not knowing Em 
what it was,

I will not C 
give you up this 
D 
time.

But darling, just kiss me slow,
your heart is all I own,
and in your eyes you're holding mine.

Ref: Baby, Em 
I'm 
C 
dancing in the 
G 
dark,

with D 
you between my 
Em 
arms,

C 
barefoot on the 
G 
grass,

D 
listening to our 
Em 
favourite song,

when you C 
said you looked a 
G 
mess,

I whispered D 
underneath my 
Em 
breath,

but you C 
heard it,

darling, G 
you look 
D 
perfect 
G 
tonight.


G D/F# Em D C D 
3: Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know.
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home.
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets,
to carry love, to carry children of our own.

4: We are still kids but we're so in love,
fighting against all odds,
I know we'll be alright this time.
Darling, just hold my hand,
be my girl, I'll be your man,
I see my future in your eyes.

Ref: Baby, I'm dancing in the dark,
with you between my arms,
barefoot on the grass,
listening to our favourite song,
when I saw you in that dress,
looking so beautiful,
I don't deserve this.
Darling, you look perfect tonight.

G D/F# Em D C D 

Ref: Baby, I'm dancing in the dark,
with you between my arms,
barefoot on the grass,
listening to our favourite song,
I have faith in what I see,
now I know I have met an angel in person,
and she looks perfect.
I don't deserve this,
you look perfect tonight.
G D/F# Em D C D G

G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
7 E5 6 D#+ 5 D6 4 C#7

Verse: D…D..U.UD.D.DU (1st part)
Verse: D.DUD.DUD.D.D.DU (C-G-D)
Chorus: D…D.DU.UD.D.DU
Break: D.D.DUDU (2×) into normal

1. I wish that G 
Heaven had visiting 
Em7 
hours

So I could just Cadd9 
show up and 
Cadd9 
bring 
G 
the 
Dsus4 
news

That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you

Chorus: Can Cadd9 
I just stay a while and we'll put 
G 
all the world to rights?
Dsus4 
 

The Cadd9 
little ones will grow and I'll still 
G 
drink your favourite wine
Dsus4 
 

And E5 
soon, they're going to 
D#+ 
close, but I'll see 
D6 
you another 
C#7 
day

So much has G 
changed since you've 
Dsus4 
been away


Break: G Cadd9 
G 
2. I wish that G 
Heaven had visiting 
Em7 
hours

So I could just Cadd9 
swing by and ask 
Cadd9 
your 
G 
ad
Dsus4 
vice

What would you do in my situation?
I hadn't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right

Chorus: Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
So much has changed since you've been away

Break: G Cadd9 
G 

3. I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own

Chorus: And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
So much has changed since you've been away
