Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Johnny Doyle
| G | C | G |
I've | travelled round these islands, from | shore to shining | shore |
| G | D |
I've | met so many heroes from the | team that I adore |
| G | C | G |
I | followed Glasgow Celtic, from | Lisbon to Aber | deen |
| D | G |
But I always remember Johnny Doyle | in the | Green. |
| G | C | G |
He | came from Ayr United, to | join his favourite | team |
| D |
To play for Glasgow Celtic, would | fulfill his dream |
| G | C | G |
Around | about St. Patrick's Day, | signed by Big Jock | Stein |
| D | G |
He played only for the jersey, Johnny | Doyle in the | Green. |
(Chorus)
| C | G |
And | Johnny Doyle | told me, not long before he died |
| C | G |
He said I | love my Glasgow | Celtic |
| D | G |
Because I'm just a | Celtic | boy. |
In Europe 1980, we all know what Johnny did
He capped a great performance, against Real Madrid
He rose with two defenders, to win the ball so clean
With Sabido and Camacho, was John Doyle in the Green.
chorus
So in your prayers remember, a gallant Celtic son
His young life cut so cruelly, in 1981
The nineteenth of October, turned a gray and rainy day
And then I heard John Doyle, had sadly passed away.
