Version 1
            [Intro]
G///    Am///   D///    G///

[Verse]
        G
Oh, me   name is MacNamara , I'm the leader of the band
C                      G                   A7            D7
Although we're few in   numbers, we're the finest in the  land
   G
We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball
    C                G           D7                     G
And when we play the funerals, we   play the March from Saul

[Chorus]
        G
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
C                  G                 A7             D7
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while  I the pipes do play
    G
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
  C             G          D7           G
A credit to old Ireland is  MacNamara's band

[Interlude]
G///    Am///   D///    G///

[Verse]
      G
Right now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair
    C          G                A7             D7
The annual celebration, all the gentry will be   there
     G
When General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand
     C            G                D7           G
Says  he, I never saw the likes of  MacNamara's Band

[Chorus]
        G
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
C                  G                 A7             D7
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while  I the pipes do play
    G
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
  C             G          D7           G
A credit to old Ireland is  MacNamara's band

[Interlude]
G///    Am///   D///    G///

[Verse]
       G
Oh, my name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come
   C            G                 A7                D7
To play with MacNamara's Band and beat the big bass  drum
    G
And when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand
     C                    G              D7             G
They shout, there's Uncle Julius playing  with an Irish band

      G
Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green
    C                G                  A7       D7
And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede that you have  ever seen
          G
There’s O'Brians, O'Ryans, Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland
        C                G             D7           G
But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in  MacNamara's Band

[Chorus]
        G
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
C                  G                 A7             D7
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while  I the pipes do play
    G
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand
  C             G          D7           G
A credit to old Ireland is  MacNamara's band

[Outro]
G///    Am///   D///    G///
