B7 Em
I saw him at my local folk club
C G
With his brand new Martin guitar
B7 Em
Pony-tailed hair and a challenging stare
A7 D
That told me he'd like to go far
B7 Em
He hammered out songs in E Minor
C B7
Broke many a pick and a string
E7 A
Till someone requested a song tried and tested
D A7 D
That everyone else could sing
And he said
G
It's too Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Too Daniel O'Donnell for me
Am
If I sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
I'll lose credibility
I can sing Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Or songs of the life at sea
Am
But if I sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
I'll never get paid my fee
verse 2
B7 Em
For years he did all the floor spots
C G
But hardly a penny he made
B7 Em
He was always out looking for that special booking
A7 D
That told him he'd made the grade
B7 Em
He tried the cittern and bodhrán
C B7
Then he took to the didgeridoo
N.C.
G
Too Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Too Daniel O'Donnell for me
Am
If you sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
You'll lose credibility
You can sing Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Or songs of the life at sea
Am
But if you sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G Am E Am D G
You'll never get paid your fee
verse 3
B7 Em
And then just yesterday evening
C G
At a western night in a bar
B7 Em
With his shiny gelled hair and his new rhinestone glare
A7 D
I saw our old folkie star
C B7
And introduced each of his band
D
"Please, can you sing No Man's Land"
G
It's too Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Too Garbutt or Bogle for me
Am
If I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
I'll lose credibility
I can sing Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Ever so tunefully
Am
But if I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
I'll never get paid my fee
Am
Yes, if I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
It could just be the death of me
