Leprechaun (Live)

Greg Connor

Recorded live at the MINNESOTA COFFEE TABLE with Colleen Dillon and Mark Lofgren.

I was G wondering through the woodland on a C lovely springtime G day
When I Em spied him peaking at me from C behind the knurled D oak
So I G sprung myself and grabbed him C before he got G away
His Em arms and legs were C flailing as I D held him by the G coat

He was G just a little leprechaun a C practiced sycophant G
All Em wrinkled up and ugly and C dressed in forest D green
He G offered me three wishes if C freedom I would G grant
To Em simply let him C go and D never more be G seen

I A accepted those three wishes and D this is what I said

May my C path always be lovely and my G glass always be full
And Em Irish luck accompany me C wherever I may D go
If you G grant these 3 wishes I’ll C always call you G friend
I’ll Em spend my life C thanking you D until the bitter G end

I G think about him often that C little leprechaun G
I Em wish that I could tell him just how C happy he made D me
I G know I’ll never find him I C know that he is G gone
But Em when I go a C wondering I D look behind the G trees
