Dropkick Murphys are a celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996.  First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, the band made a name for itself because of its relentless touring and for its annual St.  Patrick's Day weekend shows in Boston.  The band's songs often deal with the working-class environment in which its members grew up.  The band put out a series of EPs and was signed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.  In 1998, the Dropkick Murphys released their first full-length album, Do or Die.

Dropkick Murphys est un groupe de punk oi celtique formé en 1996 à Boston. Il était composé à ses débuts de Ken Casey à la basse, Mike Mc Colgan au chant et Rick Barton à la guitare. Après de multiples recherches, le trio trouve son batteur, Matt Kelly, en 1997.  Le groupe sort son premier album en 1998 : Do or Die. Peu après, en 1999, Mc Colgan, le chanteur, quitte le groupe et laisse sa place à Al Barr, ancien membre du groupe The Bruisers. Puis c'est le tour de Rick Barton, à la guitare, de quitter le groupe en laissant son successeur à la guitare: James Lynch des Ducky Boys.

Dropkick Murphys, frecuentemente abreviado como DKM, es una banda de punk y celtic punk (o punk celta) formada en los barrios de trabajadores inmigrantes irlandeses, en South Boston, uno de los barrios de Boston. Ensayaban en el sótano de una barbería propiedad de un amigo, combinando varios tipo de música como punk rock, Oi!, folk irlandés, rock y hardcore, dando como resultado un estilo propio. Sus referencias musicales incluyen formaciones tales como Stiff Little Fingers, The Pogues, The Clash, AC/DC y Swinging Utters.

11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory

         Am                G                                Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by
         Am                                                C         G
My mind was bent on rambling, and to Boston I did fly
   Am                                              C           G
I stepped on board a vision, and I followed with the will
           Am                 G                                                   Am
Till at last, I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill
           Am        G                                 Am
It was on the 23rd of June, one day before the fair
          Am                                                 C           G
When Boston's sons and daughters and friends assembled there
        Am                                                             C       G
The young, the old, the brave and the bold, came their duty to fulfill
            Am                     G                             Am
At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill
   Am                   G                                    Am
I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say
        Am                                                     C       G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray
   Am                                           C                 G
I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still
          Am                         G                                  Am
See I used to crash at his mother's house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill
   Am               G                                   Am
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
              Am                                 C               G
She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
       Am                                                  C                         G
She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"
               Am                         G                         Am
Oh, she's one miss Fayes O'Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill
   Am                        G                                    Am
I dreamt I'd fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal
    Am                                                C         G
A-gainst an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill
        Am                        G                             Am
The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill
              Am                G                          Am
When I awoke in Cali-fornia, many miles from Fairmount Hill

Fairmount Hill

Where are the eyes that looked so mild, Hurroo Hurroo

Where are the eyes that looked so mild, Hurroo Hurroo
C                                        G 
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
Am                                      Em
When my poor heart you first beguiled
         C         G              Am                Em
Why did ya run from me and the child

We had guns and drums and drums and guns, Hurroo Hurroo

                    G                    Fm          C
          I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
          C             Am                  Fm    D7
          I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
                   G                Fm         C G
          When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
               C               Am          D7
          Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
             G                     Fm        C
          Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.


          Chorus:

          C        G
          Did they beat the drum slowly,
	            Fm             C
	  Did they play the fife lowly,
                   G                             Fm           G
          Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
                  Fm                            C   Am
          Did the band play the last post and chorus,
                  C              Fm              G   C
          Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.


	      C               Am       Fm      D7
          And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
	      G                       Fm        C
          In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
	                 Am           Fm D
          And though you died back in 1916,
	     G                        Fm       C
          To that loyal heart  you're forever 19.
	  C            Am               Fm      D7
          Or are you a stranger without even a name,
	     G    Fm                 C              G
          Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
             C           Am             D7
          In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
              G                    Fm           C
          And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.


          Chorus

	      C             Am            Fm               D7
          The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
	      G                               Fm           C
          The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
			    Am            Fm         D7
          The trenches have vanished long under the plow
	     G                        Fm           C
          No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
	      C            Am             Fm               D7
          But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
	      G               Fm          C            G
          The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
	     C           Am              D7
          To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
	        G                          Fm             C
          And a whole generation that were butchered and damned.


          Chorus

	        C              Am         Fm        D7
          And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
	     G                      Fm             C
          Do all those who lie here know why they die,
                   Am       Fm                    C
          Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
                    G                       Fm             C
          Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
	              C             Am          Fm         D7
          Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
	      G           Fm        C               G
          The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
             C        Am           D7
          Oh Willie McBride it all happened again,
              G                  Fm          C
          And again, and again, and again, and again.

The Warrior's Code

Intro:
C F G

C
All of my dreams seem to fall by the side like a 
 F                                           G
Discarded thought or the day's fading light
         C
But I know if I could just see you tonight
F            G  
Forever

     C
At times we may fall like we all tend to do
             F                                              G
but I'll reach out and find that I've run into you
         C
Your strength is the power that carried me through
F            G
Forever

F G

Your kindness for weakness I never mistook
  F                                      G
I worried you often but you understood
         C
That life is so fleeting these troubles won't last
F            G
Forever
   C
Inspired me truly you did from the start
      F                                  G
To not be afraid and to follow my heart
                 C
There's a piece of you with me they can't tear apart
F             G
Forever

F                                                C

F                                                       C
Your strength is the power that carried me through

Forever

I'll tell you a story, believe me it's true

a tale you'd best hope, never happens to you,

old spicy mcHaggis, how he met his fate,

you I can save, but for him it's too late

G              C
Spicy was big, burly and strong
G                        D
his pipes were gigantic, and so was his schlong
G                 C
from city to city running around
G                              D
Always looking for chicks over four hundred pounds

G                    C
One night at the pub a girl caught his eye
G               D
big as a house, just the right size
G                      C
the broad was enormous, stacked to the hilt
D                   G
spicy soon noticed a bulge in his kilt
G                   C
the piper delivered his best pick-up line
G                   D
thought to himself, "this beast is all mine"
G                     C
the portly young lady could stand for no more
D                  G
grabbed his cojones and went for the door

G                     C
They got to her house and dimmed all the lights
G                   D
Spicy was in for one hell of a night
G                         C
he said that he loved her, he'd always be true

"But Mr. McHaggis, I've only just met you!!"

G                    C
By now he saw double through his drunken eyes
G                    D
neither had looks or appropriate size
G                      C
he came to his senses, thought to himself,
D                     G
"At this time of night I won't find nothing else"
G                      C
he took off his shirt, she lifted her skirt,
G                        D
they pulled out his unit and stared to flirt
G                      C
she asked for a glove, he gave her a shove,
D                G
had baby McHaggis nine months to-the-day.

(your gonna use the same slide as the intro for "SPICY"!)

SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY!

G                    C
One night at the pub a girl caught his eye
G               D
big as a house, just the right size
G                       C

D                  G

D                   G
grabbed his cojones and went for the door

G                  C
Three packs a day, he'll smoke 'til he dies
G               D             G
Spicy McHaggis, one hell of a guy!

"I don't know what you all are talking about...and who drank all my beer!?"

Sing Loud, Sing Proud

Verse 1:
G                           C                   G  D
Near a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl cal-ling
G                 C         D
Michael they have taken you away
        G               C           G                   D
For you stole trevelyens corn so the young might see the morn
D                                     G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
Verse 2:
G                         C                 G   D
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man cal-ling 
G               C                D
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
            G              C       G                       D
Against the famine and the crowd I rebelled they called me down
D                               G
Now you must raise a child with dignity
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
Verse 3:
G                           C                      G   D
By a lonely hobble wall she watched the last stalk fal-ling
       G                 C              D
As the prison ship sailed out across the sky
              G                C            G            D
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in barney bay
D                                  G
It's so lonely round the fields of athenry
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

              F             C               G
I've had far better sex while in jail
     C                            
I designed the Sears tower
            F                   C 
I make two grand an hour
                                               G
I cook the world's best duck flambe
                  F               C 
I'll take the pick of the litter
               F             C 
And girls jockey for me
            F               C               Am 
I don't need these lines to get laid 

[Chorus]

             C                
I'm the man of the night
           F          C
A real ladies delight
                                                G 
See, my figure was chisled from stone 
         F                 C               F              C  
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
                 F           C         G
Come last call, I'm never alone
             C                                 F             C
I own a house on the hill with a red water bed
                                                     G 
It puts Hugh Heffnor's mansion to shame
         F                C            F                 C  
With girls by the pool and italian sports cars
               F               C                 Am 
I'm just here in this dump for the game

[Chorus x2]

Ahh, fuck it. Who am I shittin'? 

          C          
I'm a pitiful sight 
          F                 C
And I ain't all that bright
                                            G 
I'm definitly not chisled from stone
          F                C 
I'm a cheat and a liar
        F             C
No woman's desire
        F               G            C 
I'll probably die cold and alone 


                               C
But just give me a chance
                            F
Cause deep down inside
                                         G>
I swear I got a big heart of gold
                               C
I'm a monogamous man
                               F 
No more one night stands
                                                   G>
Come on, honey, let me take you home

Murphy, Murphy, darling dear
  G            D             A 
I long for you now night and day
     D                          G         D
Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy
  G             D           A               D
I feel now I've lost you to health and good cheer

D                           G              A
Darcy, when I met you I was five years too young
  D              G              A        D
A boy beyond his age, or so I'd tell someone
Bm                        G                
Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care
        D                 G             A          D
Still I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share

[Chorus]

D            G
Darcy, Darcy darling dear,
    D              A          
You left me dying, crying there
D                    G
In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer
  A               D       D      G D A D G A D
I fell for you my darling dear 



D                       G             A
You shut me off and you showed me the door
        D           G             A              D
But you always came crawling back begging me for more
Bm                       G            
I showed you kindness, a stool, and a tab
         D            G         A     D
Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass
       G                              D              A
(Yeah, you left him bloody, battered, penniless, and poor)
            D                 G                A                  D
You know, I often stopped and wondered how you made it through my door
        Bm                          G         
With my brother's new non-duplicate registry ID
         D                 G                  A             D
Well you bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me.

    D                                    G                A  
You weren't the first to court me mister you won't be the last
        D             G             A              D
Oh, I'm sure I wasn't honey, I know all about your past
Bm                              G
Listen to the big shot with his pager on call
          D             G            A        D
You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall
       G                         D        A
(Yeah, you got him high, but you left him low)
D             G              A            D
Mind your own business, boy, how was I to know
     Bm                        G
That he was just a fiend and a no-good cheat
          D          G                 A               D
Well it's all in the past bitch 'cause now I've got it beat.

Verse 1:
     Eb                       G#
I've lost all the time that I have in this world
     Eb                   G#         Bb
I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see
      Eb                      G#
And I can't get it back and I can't move forward
    Eb             G#          Bb       Eb
I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
G#                         Eb            Bb
Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just
    Eb                      G#           
For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me

Verse 2:

            G#                         Eb            Bb
Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat
  Eb                       G#
A second chance to prove I know right from wrong
  Eb                   G#                  Bb            Eb
I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

Verse 3:

If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man
  Eb                               G#              Bb
I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see
      Eb                                 G#
But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted 
     Eb                G#              Bb             Eb
This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak

Intro: C F G C, C F G C

    C        F             G            C
The season's upon us, it's that time of year

C          F               G         C
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer

        C             F                 G          
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be 
C
hung

        C            F          G           C
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung


        C                 F          G        C
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho

     C            F            G           C
True Love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe

     C            F                          C
Some families are messed up while others are fine

       F                    G                      C
If you think yours is crazy... well you should see mine

C F G C C F G C

   C            F           G          C
My sister's are wackjobs, I wish I had none

      C            F          G            C
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons

   C          F        G           C
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit

        C         F                 G           C
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit

   C             F             G       C
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs

            C            F             G             
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the 
C
halls

     C           F            G       C  
With family like this I would have to confess

       C          F          G              C
I'd be better off lonely, distraught, and depressed

My mom likes to cook, push our buttons, and prod

   C                         G           C
My brother just brought home another big broad

    C          F             G             C
The eye rollin whispers come loud from the kitchen

    C              F               G         C
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin


C          F              G           C
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod

       C       F             G         C
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog

    C            F             G             C
Who won't run or fetch sure he couldn't care less

   C          F              G           C
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess

The Season's Upon Us

SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot
