A Comical Genius Tab par Dubliners (Accords Baryton)

Intro: play one verse instrumentally
 
A [Am]comical [C]genius was [G]thinking one [Dm]day
How he'd take up a [C]job and re[Em]ceive handy [Am]pay
He [Dm]didn't like [Am]beggin' and [Em]work was to [Am]hard
So he got a bright [C]notion to join [Em]up the [G]"Guards"
 
Diddlee [Dm]I dum diddlee [Am]I dum diddlee I [Em]dum dum [G]day [Dm]
 
Well he [Am]went up to [C]Dublin to the [G]depot went [Dm]in
Got a new suit of [C]blue as [Em]bright as new [Am]pins
They [Dm]drilled him they [Am]drilled him they [Em]drilled him so [Am]hard
The ould sergeant pro[C]claimed him a [Em]fully fledge [G]guard
 
Diddlee [Dm]I dum diddlee [Am]I dum diddlee I [Em]dum dum [G]day [Dm]
 
He was [Am]stationed some[C]where near the [G]town of A[Dm]thy
Rounds the roads of that [C]district he [Em]kept a close [Am]eye
Now the [Dm]girls they a[Am]dmired him [Em]as all brazers [Am]do
Fall in love with the [C]guard and his [Em]new suit of [G]blue
 
Diddlee [Dm]I dum diddlee [Am]I dum diddlee I [Em]dum dum [G]day [Dm]
 
Well they'd [Am]laugh and they'd [C]wink and they'd [G]nod as he'd [Dm]pass
Oh but this civee [C]guard has his [Em]eye on one [Am]lass
But [Dm]this little coll[Am]een she [Em]being a die [Am]hard
Soon made it quite [C]clear that she [Em]wanted no [G]guard
 
Diddlee [Dm]I dum diddlee [Am]I dum diddlee I [Em]dum dum [G]day [Dm]
 
One [Am]time while on [C]duty on a [G]dark winter's [Dm]night
He caught her out [C]cycling with[Em]out any [Am]light
Where's your [Dm]light miss, said [Am]he, for an [Em]answer sez [Am]she
It's next to me [C]liver, where [Em]you'll never [G]be
 
Diddlee [Dm]I dum diddlee [Am]I dum diddlee I [Em]dum dum [G]day
