Courtin In The Kitchen

A fun little Gaelic Storm version of a classic.  It is my first attempt
at figuring a song out and, while basic, I hope some may find it of use!
I don't know how to differentiate the barre chords from the open, so I
used the asterisk.  Criticism (improvements) welcome!

At the age of seventeen I was apprentice to a grocer

    G                                          D
She slipped up to her room, I said: "Good Lord Almighty!"
    G                                 C  (stop)         
She came back down the stairs wearing nothing but her nighty!
         G              Bm        C*           D*
With her arms around me waist she slyly hinted marriage
     Em*    D*      C*         D*
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage!

G                            D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G                C           D

         G                                     D
Well the Captain came downstairs though he saw me situation
   G                             C              D
In spite of all me prayers I was marched off to the station
    G           Bm                C*             D*
For me they set no bail though to get home I was itchen'
      Em*    D*        C*           D*
And I had to tell the tale of how I came into that kitchen

       G                                              D
Well I swore she did invite me though she gave a flat denial
    G                              C              D
For assault they did indict me and I was sent for trial
    G       Bm                  C*              D*
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all me screechin'
    Em*   D*         C*          D*
And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen!

Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G                C           D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
G                C           D
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy...
