P. Stands for Paddy

Verse 1:

Am        G
I walked out one May morning
    Am        Em
For to take a pleasant walk,
 Am    G     D     C
I sat down beside an old stone wall
  Em       Am
To hear two lovers talk.
  Am          G
To hear what they might say, my dear,
    Am         Em
For to hear what they might say
    Am    G      D     C
So that I might know a little more about love
 Em     Am
Before I go away.

Chorus:

Am      G
P stands for Paddy, I suppose
Am      Em
J for my love John,
    Am  G    D     C
And the W stands for false William
  Em          Am
And Johnny is the fairest man
Am          G
Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Am          Em
Johnny is the fairest man.
  Am   G     D    C
And I don’t care what anybody says,
  Em          Am
But Johnny is the fairest man.

Am       G
“Come and sit beside meself my love,
    Am          Em
“No, I don't really have the time,
  Am  G   D       C
For you love another littel lad,
   Em          Am
And your heart’s no longer mine.
   Am        G
Your heart’s no longer mine, my dear,
    Am        Em
No your heart’s no longer mine.

For your heart’s no longer mine.”

I will climb a high high tree
     Am         Em
And I’ll rob the wild bird’s nest.

Back I bring what I find there

To the girl I love the best.
