Kelly's Wellies
----------------------
Intro: D with Dsus4 for flair at the end of the measure.
When I was a [D]young un', I knew a lad from Ballybunion
He hadn't got a single penny to his [A]name, you might say
He had a raggedy [D]coat, and like two rubber boats
He kept his [Bm]wellington boots on from Dec[A]ember to [D]May
Chorus:
It was Kevin [G]Kelly, with his chopped off [D]wellies
In the middle of the [A]summer time he was looking [D]fine!
His pants had [G]holes in the knees but he was [D]proud as you [A]please
With his ol'[G] well[A]ies he keep strolling al[D]ong
As we got ol[D]der and slyer and bolder
and the girls we had our eyes on they got [A]older as well
With paint on their [G]faces and curves in nice [D]places
Well we were [Bm]dressed to impress them and we [A]thought we were [D]swell!
Well our duds were in [D]fashion to kindle their passion
But there was Kevin on the dance floor looking [A]anything but neat
He was tryin' to [D]flirt in his hand-me-down shirt,
with the [Bm]same ol' wellies on his [A]two big [D]feet!
Chorus:
It was Kevin [G]Kelly, with his chopped off [D]wellies
In the middle of the [A]summer time he was looking [D]fine!
His pants had [G]holes in the knees but he was [D]proud as you [A]please
With his ol'[G] well[A]ies he keep strolling al[D]ong
Well we teased [Em]him and we mocked him, but sure that never shocked him,
he [Bm]painted on some laces and cut them [A]down to look like shoes.
He was poor [Em]but he had style, he made everybody smile
He wore[A] his ol' wellies!
He wore his ol' wellies!
He wore his ol' wellies!
Like he'd nothin' to lose[D]![G][D][A]
[D] [G] [D] [A] [D]
The next time we [D]found him, well the girls were all around him
He was busting the moves, he was [A]happy as can be
One of the girls came [D]near, and whispered [G]in my ear...
D notes: A F# D
"Only boys who wear their wellies have a chance wit' me."
