I heard it from the dubliners. I think I use D and A for this and another chord or two. Not done it for ages.
I cannot give the lyrics on here for the song but I will email them if you would like them

Re: St pats day
hi vegabondrambler
please read here http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10687
it will tell you the best way to get a reply to a question and how not to ask in another non related topic.
Maybe "Them Dancehall Girls" is an irish song but it is a new question getting asked in an already active thread. I have never heard of it.
cheers

The song was made famous in the 1957 recording by the late Slim Dusty , but was written in the original "Day Dawn Hotel" in Ingham in north Queensland (Australia) in 1943 by an Irish cane cutter Dan Sheahan after some American soldiers had drank the pub dry.
Dan Sheahan had gone to his favourite pub for a cold beer but the Publican told him that there was no beer left thanks to some American soldiers going on a drinking binge there the night before. Dan Sheahan sat in the corner of the pub with a glass of wine and wrote "A Pub without Beer". The song was later transformed to "A Pub with No Beer" by composer Gordon Parsons, who had spotted the words of "A Pub without Beer" in "The North Queensland Register" newspaper, and later recorded by Slim Dusty.
There's a bit of trivia for you to dazzle the punters with this St Pats day!

Re: St pats day
Hi, jamiejah,
I know this is a bit late but I have not been reading the Forum this last couple of weeks?
We don't celabrate St Pat's Day up here in the North as they do in the South, but it is starting
to be; more than it ust'd be. However if you would like a song from the North for St Pat's Day,
try (The County of Armagh). That's apple country; like Cider man!
Luck and Health to all!!!
Re: St pats day
I have no doubt at all, at some stage on "St Patricks Day" some old timer will sing this wee old song.
