G                   Em          Am             D7
As I came down thru Dublin city at the hour of twelve at night
G                      Em            Am                  D7
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady, washing her feet by candlelight
G                     Em                  G              D
First she washed them then she dried them over a fire of amber coals
G                Em              Am            D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet about the soul

[Chorus]
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 2]
G                   Em          Am             D7
As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight
G                        Em            Am                  D7
Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broad daylight
G                   Em                  G                       D
First she tossed it then she combed it, on her lap was a silver comb
G                Em              Am            D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so fair since I did roam

[Chorus]
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 3]
G                   Em          Am              D7
As I came back thru Dublin city as the sun began to set
G                        Em           Am                   D7
Who should I see but the Spanish lady catching a moth in a golden net
G               Em                           G                  D
When see saw me then she fled me lifting her petticoat over her knee
G                Em              Am                 D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady

[Chorus]
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay
G                   Em
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Am                  D7
Whack for the toora loora lay

[Verse 4]
G                             Em            Am                   D7
I've wandered north and south through Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close
G                     Em             Am                                 D7
Up and  around the by the Gloucester Diamond and back by Napper Tandy's house
G                    Em         G                      D
Old age has laid her hand on me cold as a fire of ashy coals
G                Em              Am            D7
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady
