Real Old Mountain Dew chords by Traditional

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
   G         C
Let grasses grow, and waters flow,
   G       D7
In a free and easy way,
  G           C
But give me enough of the fine old stuff
    G     D7   G
That's made near Galway Bay.

Chorus 1:
N.C.
Oh, peelers all, from Dongegal.
 Em
Galway and E-Trim too—
    D7      G           C
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip
    G    D7    G
Of the real old Mountain Dew.

Verse 2:
    G             C
At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still
     G           D7
Where the smoke curls up to the sky.
    G             C
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell
       G    D7     G
That there's whiskey brewing nearby.

Chorus 2:
N.C.
For it fills the air with odor rare,
   Em
And betwixt both me and you,
   D7          G   C
When home you roll you can take a bowl
   G       D7    G
Or a bucket of the mountain dew.

Verse 3:
  G        C
Now learned men who use the pen
    G         D7
Who've wrote your praises high,
   G               C
This sweet 'pocheen' (potion) from Ireland's green
  G      D7    G
Distilled from wheat and rye.

Chorus 3:
N.C.
Throw away your pills—it'll cure all ills
  Em
Of pagan or Christian, Jew.
   D7        G     C
Take off your coat and free your throat
     G    D7    G
With the real old Mountain Dew.
