Wild Irish Rose chords by David Allan Coe

[Verse]
                 G
My daddy would not go to work on mornings
G                      D
He’d been out with Jack Daniel’s all night long
    G
Though daddy never cared too much for dancing
  G        D        G
He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.

[Verse]
  C               G
And son, he said, I never had much money
  G               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
G              D
What he saw in that God only knows
  C
He loved his wife and children
    G
But he also loved the horses
   G        D        G
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.

[Verse]
 G
My daddy always cried the morning after
 G              D
Mom 'n him had argued for so long
  G
He said, when I do right no one remembers
     G     D         G
And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

[Verse]
  C              G
But momma she accused my dad of cheating
  G                  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.

[Chorus]
C
Yes daddy was a gambler
  G
My daddy loved the racetrack
G              D
What he saw in that God only knows
  C
He loved his wife and children
    G
But he also loved the horses
   G        D        G
