Kelly's Wellies
----------------------

Intro: D with Dsus4 for flair at the end of the measure.
D
When I was a young un', I knew a lad from Ballybunion
A
He hadn't got a single penny to his name, you might say
D
He had a raggedy coat, and like two rubber boats
Bm A D
He kept his wellington boots on from December to May
Chorus:
G D
It was Kevin Kelly, with his chopped off wellies
A D
In the middle of the summer time he was looking fine!
G D A
His pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
G A D
With his ol' wellies he keep strolling along
D
As we got older and slyer and bolder
A
and the girls we had our eyes on they got older as well
G D
With paint on their faces and curves in nice places
Bm A D
Well we were dressed to impress them and we thought we were swell!
D
Well our duds were in fashion to kindle their passion
A
But there was Kevin on the dance floor looking anything but neat
D
He was tryin' to flirt in his hand-me-down shirt,
Bm A D
with the same ol' wellies on his two big feet!

Well we teased him and we mocked him, but sure that never shocked him,
Bm A
he painted on some laces and cut them down to look like shoes.
Em
He was poor but he had style, he made everybody smile
A
He wore his ol' wellies!
He wore his ol' wellies!
He wore his ol' wellies!
D G D A
Like he'd nothin' to lose!
D G D A D
D
The next time we found him, well the girls were all around him
A
He was busting the moves, he was happy as can be
D G
One of the girls came near, and whispered in my ear...
D notes: A F# D
"Only boys who wear their wellies have a chance wit' me."
