Слова: John Stamford

9  9    8   8   8  8  8  8
6  6    5   5   5  5  5  5
Oh, me name is Mac-Na-ma-ra, 

 8   8   8   8  -8  7   6
 5   5   5   5  -4  4   3
I'm the lead-er of the band

8   -9     -9   -9  -9  9   9
5   -5     -5   -5  -5  6   6
Al-though we're few in num-ber, 

  7   -8   8   8  -8  7   -8
  4   -4   5   5  -4  4   -4
we're the fin-est in the land

9   8   8    8    8   8    8 
6   5   5    5    5   5    5
We play at wakes and wed-dings 

 8  8  8   8  -8  7    6
 5  5  5   5  -4  4    3
and at ev-‘ry fan-cy ball

 8   -9  -9  -9  -9  9  9   7
 5   -5  -5  -5  -5  6  6   4
And when we play at fu-ner-als, 

-8  8    8   -8    -8   7
-4  5    5   -4    -4   4
we play the March from Saul


9    9    8   8   8    8   8   8   8     8
6    6    5   5   5    5   5   5   5     5
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang 

 8   8    8     8   -8   7  6
 5   5    5     5   -4   4  3
and the horns they blaze a-way

8  -9  -9   -9   -9   9  9   7
5  -5  -5   -5   -5   6  6   4
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon 

 -8   8  8   -8-  7   -8
 -4   5  5   -4   4   -4
while I the pipes do play

 9   8   8   8   8   8   8   8    8   8    8
 6   5   5   5   5   5   5   5    5   5    5
And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute 

 8   8   8  8  8   -8    7     6
 5   5   5  5  5   -4    4     3
and the mus-ic is some-thin' grand

8  -9  -9 -9 -9   9   7   -8  8  8  -8  -8   7
5  -5  -5 -5 -5   6   4   -4  5  5  -4  -4   4
A cred-it to old Ire-land is Mac-Na-ma-ra's band

Right now we are re-hears-in' 
for a very swell af-fair
The an-nu-al cel-e-bra-tion, 
all the gen-try will be there
When Gen-er-al Grant to Ire-land came 
he took me by the hand
Says he, "I nev-er saw the likes 
of Mac-Na-mar-a's Band"

9    9    8   8   8    8   8   8   8     8
6    6    5   5   5    5   5   5   5     5
Oh, the drums go bang and the cym-bals clang 

 8   8    8     8   -8   7  6
 5   5    5     5   -4   4  3
and the horns they blaze a-way

8  -9  -9   -9   -9   9  9   7
5  -5  -5   -5   -5   6  6   4
Mc-Car-thy pumps the old ba-zoon

And Hen-nes-see Ten-nes-see toot-les the flute 

 8   8   8  8  8   -8    7     6
 5   5   5  5  5   -4    4     3
