Reel In The Flickering Light Album: Christy Moore Subtitle: (Colm Gallagher) Time: 4/4 Key: C Tempo: 107 [Verse 1]
As CI walked home one Fevenin' I know Dmthis takes some Gbelievin', I Cmet a group of Fcreatures with the Cstrangest Glookin' Cfeatures. A Cpoor old dog with a worm and a weed and Dma fine old pigeon, yes indeed, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up sprightly and Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light.
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 2]
On his Cthin and wispy Fspindles he was Dmdeft and he was Gnimble, His Ceyes were scienFtific and his Cdancing Gwas terCrific. The Crats and the worms they made a din and Dmthe nettles in the corner took it in, "Oh EmGod," says I, "Ftonight's the night we'll Cdance to the Greel in the Cflickering light!"
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 3]
Then he Clooked at me diFrectly with a Dmgaze that could disGsect me, And he Casked me in a Fwhisper "Have Cyou got Gany Csisters?." "Good CGod Almighty' says I to him "what Dmsort of a man do you think I am? I've Emonly one and she's Fnot your type, she wouldn't Cdance a Greel in the Cflickering light!"
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 4]
Says he "CDoes she come from another Fplanet? Does Dmshe have a bee in her Gbonnet? Does she Cdo her daily Fduties? You never Cknow we Gmight be Csuited." And the Crats and the worms began to laugh and Dmsome of them started shufflin' off. We're Emgonna to have some Ffun tonight, gettin' Cready for the Greel in the Cflickering light.
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 5]
I could Csee he had no Fscruples when I Dmlooked into his Gpupils, They were Cpurple or maFgenta like a Cstatue Gduring CLent. CI said "I'll get her right away" Dm"Good man" says he, "now don't delay, We're Emgonna have some Ffun tonight." Then he Cflipped his Glegs in the Cflickering light.
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 6]
Then up Cstepped a red carFnation and they Dmgave her an oGvation. She was Cwarm and enFchanting as she Cslowly Gstarted Cdancing. The Cbright auld pigeon peeled his eye and the Dmnettles and the weeds began to sigh, EmDaddy Longlegs said "FMy, oh my, are we Cready for the Greel in the Cflickering light?"
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Verse 7]
She was Cgentle, she was Fcharming and I Dmheard him call her GDarlin'. He was Cgraceful as a Fwhisper on his Cdelicate Glegs of Csilver. The Crats and the worms were still as mice and the Dmpoor auld pigeon said "That's nice." A Emshimmering veil of a Flovely bride and they Cdanced to the Greel in the Cflickering light.
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
[Chorus]
Oh, Cround we go, Dmheel to the toe, EmDaddy Longlegs Fjumped up spright And Cdanced a Greel in the Cflickering light
