Gaelic Storm - Courtin In The Kitchen chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
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!

    G                                          D
She slipped up to her room, I said: "Good Lord Almighty!"
    G                                 C  (stop)

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

Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.

Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy.
