David Allan Coe - Wild Irish Rose guitar chord

David Allan Coe - Wild Irish Rose

G

My daddy would not go to work on mornings

D

He’d been with Jack Daniel’s out all night long

G

Though daddy never cared too much for dancing

D G

He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.

C G

And son, he said, I never had much money

D

And I never had the time for fancy clothes

G C

And I’ve always been a fool for Jim Beam whiskey

G D G

And I guess I’ve always loved Wild Irish Rose.

Chorus:

C

Yes daddy was a gambler

G

My daddy loved the racetrack

D

What he saw in that God only knows

C

He loved his wife and children

G

But he also loved the horses

D G

And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.

D G D C G D G

G

My daddy always cried the morning after

D

Mom n him argued for so long

G

He said, when I do right no one remembers

D G

And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

C

But mom she accused my dad of cheating

D

She swore that she could smell it on his clothes

G C

So finally dad confessed his sins to momma

G D G

And he told her all about Wild Irish Rose.
