Chorus (No chords first time):

D G D
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
G D

A rough and tumble free-for-all
A
A broil, A brawl,A melee,
D G D
A ruckus to be reckoned with and now without delay
G D
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
A D
To march in the last 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 C G
I will go, I will meet you there
C G D
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
G C G
I will go, I will meet you there
C G
But the council's up in arms,
D G
They aim to take it away, I swear!
C G
The council's up in arms
D G
They aim to take it away, I swear.

(D)
A 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 D
Play the whistle too,
G D
Bang the drum and use the lungs
A
To get the message through
D
But you fight, you might get tar-and-feathered,
G D
So, bow and say a prayer,
G D
To the Commission for the Abolition
A D
Of the Donnybrook 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
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
