Liner Notes

I love my birthday, but not the day that it's on. #folk #acoustic #guywithukulele

Lyrics

March the 17th is the day I was born. Should've been Patty, but I ain't. F Dm F Dm For my Italian momma, the Green was never worn. Leprechauns and shamrocks made her faint.

G7 F
I used to like my birthday, made me feel really great, with pats on the back and beers G7 But people are such slobs and ruin a good time
Bb They changed my cheers to jeers.

Dm Em Dm F Green beer’s flowin’, streets a mess, Drunk guys screamin’, I’m not impressed. C Dm Bb Plastic hats, fake Irish pride, Another excuse to drink all night.

Cm C6 Saint Patrick’s Day sucks, it’s all the same, Dm F Every year, just a booze-filled game Cm C6 Singin’ bad songs, dancin’ off beat, F
Passed out cold in the middle of the street.

Dm Em Dm F “Take a shot!” Nah, I’m good, When the Guinness spills I head for the hills C Dm Bb I'd rather just enjoy my cake. And avoid all the noise you make.

Cm C6 Saint Patrick’s Day sucks, it’s all the same, Dm F Every year, just a booze-filled game Cm C6 Singin’ bad songs, dancin’ off beat, F
Passed out cold in the middle of the street.

(Outro – Spoken) Yeah… have fun with that hangover. Cm

Tell me how you really feel! Just kidding - a very cogent rant. And I love the ending!

I can understand this, when it's just a day for people to get sloppy drunk, and you're trying to celebrate something positive. You can tell you've experienced too many Boston St. Pat's day events. Nice visuals.

Seems like this is double posted, this one has a better reflection of the lyrics and all. Thanks again for skirmishing 😀
