lyrics

C G
Hiking through the forest I heard a mournful whine
Dm G F G C
And there I spied a tiny man tangled up in vines
C F
He said “I am a leprechaun and if you can set me free
F C G C
I will grant your every wish and share my luck with thee

C G
I freed the little fellow - he tried to run and hide
Dm G F G C
But he tripped beside a wishing well and fell down deep inside
C F
Ho shouted “help, I cannot swim!” And would have drowned no doubt
F C G C
But I sent down a bucket on a rope and pulled him out

G C
I pulled him out, I pulled him out
G C C7
He would have drowned beyond a doubt

F C G C
CHORUS He was the luckiest leprechaun you could ever hope to see
F C G C
But I’m afraid that all his luck was bad as bad can be

C G
He said “Im truly sorry and now to make amends
Dm G F G C
I’ll take to a treasure where the rainbow ends
D F
We found the end of the rainbow but there was no pot of gold
F C G C
Just a rusted chamber pot packed with muck and mold

G C
Muck and mold, muck and mold
G C
Truth be told there was no gold

CHORUS

C G
His promises and magic tricks went from bad to worse
Dm G F G C
And every wish he tried to grant turned out to be a curse
C F
A tricky little fellow - he always had a plan
F C F G C
But some unfortunate accident would knock him down again


C G
He was trampled by an elephant when he stepped upon its trunk
Dm G F G C
He was bitten by a rattlesnake and squirted by a skunk
C F
He bets on horses everyday but has never won a dime
F C F G C
And he’s been struck by lightning seventy-seven times

C G
If you’re ever in the forest and spy this tiny man
Dm G F G C
Turn and run away from him as quickly as you can
C F
And if he catches up with you I’ll tell you what to say:
F G F G C
These are my three wishes: please go away!

C G C
Go away! Go away!
G C C7
This is not your lucky day!

CHORUS X3
