Pride Of Erin Cifras

[Verse 1]
        E           B           C#m          A
As the old man sat there in his old rocking chair
        E                    B
The children they gathered around
        E            B             C#m          A
Asking questions on life "Tell us, what was it like"
               E          B       C#m    A
When you met Grandma, how’d it go down?
             E          B                E
And did you know it was love that you’d found?”
 
[Verse 2]
            E           B          C#m         A
T’was the Friday night ball at the local Town Hall
        E                        B
And as usual the whole town was there
          E           B           C#m          A
There was so much to see but just one girl for me
             E            B            C#m      A
And how I’d look for her flowing black hair
        E          B            E
And oh how I can still see her there
 
[Chorus]
        B
And its step two three, back two three
      A          E
It’s all coming back to me
     B                        A              E
Her eyes how they’d shine and how she would look at me
 B                        A           E
Waltzing around with the Sun and the Moon
          A        E       B
And we’d all spin around together
 A      E             B
Dancing the Pride of Erin
 
[Verse 3]
           E              B           C#m            A
There was something that night that I knew was just right
       E                     B
For somehow I faced all my fears
        E          B           C#m           A
So when I saw my chance well I asked her to dance
        E          B         C#m      A
And it lasted for near fifty years
        E          B          E
Yes we danced for near fifty years
 
[Chorus]
        B
And its step two three, back two three
      A          E
It’s all coming back to me
     B                        A              E
Her eyes how they’d shine and how she would look at me
 B                        A           E
Waltzing around with the Sun and the Moon
          A        E       B
And we’d all spin around together
 A            E       B
Dancing the Pride of Erin
 
[Verse 4]
           E              B          C#m                 A
Well the children shot through with something better to do
         E                          B
And the old man just sat still and stared
           E           B           C#m        A
Then he whispered softly “Are you waiting for me?
          E          B         C#m      A
Will you save me a dance up in Heaven?
    E          B        E
Remember the Pride of Erin?”
 
[Chorus]
        B
And its step two three, back two three
        A       E
It’s all coming back to me
     B                         A             E
Her eyes how they’d shine and how she would look at me
 B                        A           E
Waltzing around with the Sun and the Moon
          A        E        B
And we’d all spin around together
 A            E       B
Dancing the Pride of Erin
