Flogging Molly ist eine Irisch-Amerikanische Band aus Los Angeles, USA.  Dort gründeten sie sich 1997 im Molly Malone's Pub. Ihr Stil setzt sich aus Rock, Punk, Folk und irischen Elementen zusammen. Die traditionelle irische Besetzung von Folk-Gitarre, Mandoline, Banjo, Akkordeon, Fiddle und Tin Whistle, wird durch Instrumente wie E-Gitarre, E-Bass und Schlagzeug verstärkt.  Bandgeschichte  Der aus Dublin stammende Dave King war in jungen Jahren der &quot;Number-One-Fan&quot; der folkloristisch angehauchten Heavy-Metal-Band Mama's Boys, die später als Celtus dem Irish Folk noch mehr Raum gaben.

Flogging Molly nacieron en una de las muchas tabernas de los nietos de los emigrantes irlandeses de principios del siglo pasado que huyeron de la Gran Hambruna que mató a un millón de personas e hizo emigrar a otro millón y medio. Muy influenciados por la música de sus antepasados, comenzaron a tocar en la taberna de Molly Malones, en Los Angeles, dotando al folk irlandés de bandas como The Dubliners de otro tipo de música, más parecido a The Pogues.

Bm         D         A           Bm
I want to believe in myself once again
A                         Bm
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
Bm             D             A         Bm
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
A                             Bm
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

D                          A
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
F#m                        Bm
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
D                       A
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
F#m                       F#m
But all I remember is the freedom of old (HEY!)

Bm               D          A          Bm
Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
A                   Bm
Flew all the way to California
Bm              D         A            Bm
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
A                           Bm
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout

D                          A
But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
F#m                         Bm
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
D                        A
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
F#m                                Bm
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head

Bm                     D      A               Bm
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Bm                D            A                 Bm
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
Bm                     D      A               Bm
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Bm                D              A            Bm
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
Bm                D              A            Bm
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

look elsewhere or figure it our yourself)

Bm                 D            A              Bm
The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
A                     Bm
Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
Bm           D             A              Bm
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
A                              Bm
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
D                          A
So I must remain in my new adopted land
F#m                          Bm
I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can
D                                         A
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
A     A    A
NAME! AME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!

The Worst Day Since Yesterday

G                   C
I'll wait for you till I turn blue
G                      D
There's nothin' more a man can do
G                      C
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
G                  D       G
Settle down, don't take a fit
G                    C
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
G                     D
They almost nearly won as well
G                     C
Ya wiped the floor with victory
G                   D       G
Then puked until you fell asleep


G                   C
Blackened was the banshee's wail
G                      D
These boots will never fill her jail
                      C
So you crawled into an empty boat
G                   D
For the Gulf of Mexico
G                   C
Till Cortez came an' when so did you
G                      D
From the ashes charred and blue
G                     C
Smellin' like a Salty Dog
G                   D       G
Back from Hell where you belong


C    G     C            G
Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
C               C 
The Antichrist aboard a rig
C             D         G
With us your cutthroat thieves
C                     G
The ship went down we all near drowned
 C                   G 
Ya stood there on the deck
C                          G
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
 C              D         G
And dragged you from the wreck

Well I worked on the railroad for two pence a day
  E             A         Am         E
Drank down one penny, the other I'd save
   E              A             E             A
I hammered and I hammered, for God knows how long
 E         A           Am            E
Well into madness with each setting sun
   E           A           E              B
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
     E         A              Am            E
With me by the ol' tree where no one could care

Chorus:

Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
     E              A                Am            E
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart, in her arms I'll be found

          E            A               E          A
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
 E              A           Am            E
Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear
       E              A         E            A
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
    E           A                Am           E
The ashes were fallin' like the snow drops of old
    E         A             E               B
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow
       E            A            Am         E
A big hole in that rock like the one in my soul

We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well
     E          A          Am         E
From four empty coffins to four early graves
             E             A              E            A

The only thing growin' was my will to die
         E            A         E            A
Till the gaffer said “Men, your work here is done”

Never again will I smell your sweet dream

Verse 1
Am
Her breath began to speak
As she stood right in front of me
The colour of her eyes
Were the colour of insanity
Crushed beneath her wave
Like a ship, I could not reach the shore
Am                            E
We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor

Chorus
Am                          C             G
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                            C           E 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Am                          C             G 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o

Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Verse 2
Am
Pressed against her face
I could feel her insecurity
Her mother'd been a drunk
And her father was obscurity
But nothin' ever came
Am                                 E
So pull yourself together girl and have a little fun

Verse 3
Am
Well she took me by the hand
I could see she was a fiery one
Her legs ran all the way
Up to Heaven and past Avalon
Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store
Am                               E
She said come with me now on the Devil's Dance Floor

Verse 4
Am
The apple now is sweet
Oh much sweeter than it ought to be
Another little bite
I don't think there is much hope for me
The sweat beneath her brow
Travels all the way
An' headin' south
Am                                        E
This bleedin' hearts cryin' cause there's no way out

Verse 1
D                  G                  D              A
Wednesday night is mornin' now as I'm walking in the rain
D                   G                  A            D
Birds are screaming in my ear, they're driving me insane
D                   G            D                      A
Half the clouds are empty so the sun bursts through the sky
    D            G                A             D
The puddles show reflections of a face about to die
D               G            D               A
Just around the corner I was going round the bend
  D          G                   A               D
I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name
   D                G               D             A
He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow
    D              G             A             D
Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone


Pre-Chorus 1
Bm
Bringin in the New Year as the bells began to ring
A
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
Bm
Time to get another before the final shout
F#
You should have heard him roarin when they dragged the bugger out


Chorus
          G             A             D

Verse 2
D               G                D               A
Jimbo came from slummin' town, a cold and dreary place
   D             G                  A                D
To summerland he found himself, the sun shone on his face
D                 G             D                  A
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl
D            G              A             D
Happily ever after till the tide ran out again
D                G                D                  A
Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry
     D               G                   A                D
I'll love you in the mornin, Christ I'll love ya till you die
     D              G                     D               A
I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before you know
    D            G             A             D
But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home


Pre-Chorus 2
Bm
Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin bag
A
Back and forth through painted brick the colours all seemed bland
     Bm
I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far
F#
So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar

     So he disappeared  into his final beer

Intro: Am, C, F, C, Am, C, F



    Am                 C
Feel the words from my lips,
        F               C
To your heart's fingertip,
     Am             C         F
Then you know where I come from,
        Am             C
Cause I know, yes I know,
          F               C
Everything there is to know,
Am                   C       F
Cause I lost everything I had
    C
See I,
                          G
I could have danced on the sun,
                  Dm
But my world came un-done
      Am
Laauuuuraaaaaaa



C
There's no need for tears,

                  Am
Will never be denied,

This pain in my head,
                  Am
Escaped from my heart,
F                                    E  G
No woman alive could touch who you were,
Am
So bye bye Laura,



There's no one to take your place,

Bye bye Laura,

The seed that you've sewn,

Will reach for the sky,
C
This love that you leave 
                Am
Will never be denied,
F
And after the song,
                 Am
The spirit lives on,
F
Though your not around,
                E    G
You'll never be gone,
          Am
So bye bye Laura,

Bye bye Laura,

Your beauty will never fade,
    C
But I,

Yet I,

But my world came un-done
           Am
So Bye bye laura, bye bye laura

Escaped from my heart,

[Intro]
        G Am G Am G Am C D G


G                     Am
Well I'd love to photograph your hand
     G              Am
Then shake it for a while
          G                   Am
Cause you learn so much about someone
   C     D     G
A brother or a swine


    G                   Am
The veins that plough beneath your path
        G             Am
With so many tales to tell
  G              Am
A picture out of focus
     C          D       G
In a frame where no one cares


D
Calm the ocean breeze
C                G
Quiet the raging sea
D
This stormy ship we sail
     G                  D
Is a bottle filled with rage


[Chorus 1]
             G                   C
Do you still walk the streets at night?
         G            C
With the wandlust you fight
            G               C        D        G
Back to the corner where we went our separate ways

        G               Am
Well we walked upon the railroad
          G               Am
Cause the train no longer ran
         G                          Am
Where we caught a glimpse of all we missed
         C         D           G
From the stars that filled our eyes

       G              Am
With a dollar in your only coat
      G                Am
And a fireball in your hand
    G                  Am
You set your sails for better days
        C       D    G
Down in South Australia


D
Dark though it has been
         C                   G
Your old spirit still shines within
           D
These last thirteen years depraved
      C                     D
Of us anything that's worth sayin'

[Chorus 2]
G          D        G               C
So raise a cheer to those forgotten years
            G               C       D         Em    C  Em  D  Em  C  D
Back to the corner where we went our separate ways

[Chorus 1] x2

        G                 Am
Now the carnival is goin' home
    G               Am
The ferris wheel is spent
          G               Am
For those rovin' years of endless jeers
     C        D         G
Have dried all that was left

Wanderlust Acoustic

Whiskey On a Sunday

     Bm                A
Your passin' broke the silence                     
        G            A
On that dark October day 
Bm		     A 	
The sun was headin' for the west 
      G               A
As it did I heard you say
  Bm		     A
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
      G		                  A
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be
    G		  A	    D	A	Bm
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
    G 		A	Bm
Did you ever listen to me?

       Bm                  A
Though now it seems you'll never know
    G              A
But every lad to a man must grow
     Bm              A
Till winter comes to celebrate
     G                  A
Then proudly chills the bone
Bm                A
When at last they bury me
  G                     A
Into this ground you'll someday see
    G            A         D  A       Bm
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
    G	      A		D
Did you ever listen to me?

     G
Though the face we wear
     D
Sometimes seldom speaks
     G
From the babe that cries
     D
To this grown man's feet
     G
May the hand still write
     D
And its' heart shape keep
     G					Bm
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree

[Bm, A, G]

Spoken Wheel

Verse 1
      Am	    G	      F
So I will pave this road till glory
         Am	G      F
Sets our broken spirit free
           Am           G              F 
From every cross-soaked nail pours endless rain
      C	       G         Am
With tears no eye should see
               Am       G       F
But they could fill our highest ocean
        Am     G     F
And the rivers in between
           Am	   	G		F
With every blade that flowers must grow then drown
C	G	       E
With love our cruelest sea

Chorus
           F           G    Am
So with a wonder and a wild desire
        F               G       Am
I will crawl from under every weight
        F          G     Am
With a wonder and a wild desire
          C            G           Am
Bless the day it was I shared your name
      F                   G     C
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Verse 2
            Am       G    F   
Hail the shower from the broadside
       Am      G    F
To the heavens down below
     Am       G                F
Draw one last breath from your fanning ship
         C         G  Am
Sink the hunger in us all
          Am         G         F
Shake the hand that speaks of freedom
     Am       G     F
Kiss hate one final blow
            Am      G          F      
Till each twilight falls then rests till dawn 
     C         G     Am
and tomorrow's never sleep

Chorus
           F           G    Am
So with a wonder and a wild desire
        F               G     Am
I will crawl from under every weight
       F            G     Am
With a wonder and a wild desire
          C            G           Am
Bless the day it was I shared your name
      F            G           C
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Verse 3
           Am       G        F
And of the fool we shall not mention
     Am           G         F
That depraves the cries of youth
     Am       G             F
Drag not your strength from government

But from the voices they abuse

Chorus

So with a wonder and a wild desire
        F               G      Am
I will crawl from under every weight
       F            G     Am
With a wonder and a wild desire
          C            G           Am
Bless the day it was I shared your name
          F       G      C
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Only time will tell when this rain of hell, shall wither in defeat

Separate the bread they forgot to share, till the milk still left to feed
            F               G             Am                  F
Though this body aches then disappeared into the ground, our seeds

Which is the broken spirit's soul

Resignate with perfect reason

Shut life's last gloomy door

With A Wonder And A Wild Desire

C		   F	C	F C
And the light of a fading star
C		 F C	   		F C
Is what you were, is what you are
C		   F	C		F C
Like the glow that christens the moon
C	           F C	   		F C
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

G
Oh when will this war be over?
C
And the madness leaves the air
G
This brick that's found between us
C
And the pulling of the hair

F		G
But if there's a reason
Am		G
I don't need to know right now

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried

But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Am	G	C
Oh and I always thought
Am	G	C
That you, you wanted me
Am	G	C	F
Oh and I always thought some how
F	G	Am
That you, you wanted me

Ahhh, but if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening
And the shadow of the cloud

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are

Seven Deadly Sins

Bb
And to hell we must sail

For the Shores of sweet Barbados
           Gm
Where the sugar cane grows taller

Than the god we once believed in
          Bb
Till the butcher and his crown

Raped the land we used to sleep in
     Gm                          F
Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes
      Gm  N.C.
That haunt Tobacco Island


  Gm
'Twas 1659 forgotten now for sure
      Bb
They dragged us from our homeland

With the musket and their gun
  Gm
Cromwell and his roundheads

Battered all we know
  Bb
Shackled hopes of freedom

We're now but stolen goods
 F
Darken the horizon
 
Blackened from the sun
      Am
This rotten cage of Bridgetown
   C
Is where I now belong


        Bb
And to hell we must sail

For the Shores of sweet Barbados

Till the butcher and his crown

Raped the land we used to sleep in

Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes
      Gm  N.C.
That haunt Tobacco Island


Gm
Red leg down a peg

Blistered burns the soul
     Bb
The floggings they're a plenty

But reasons there are none
     Gm
Our backs belong to landlords

Where branded is there name
 Bb
Paid for with ten shillings

Cheap labor never breaks
     F
The silver moon is shinin'

Cools the copper blood
           Am
Where the livin' meet the dead
    C
And together dance as one


        Bb
And to hell we must sail

For the Shores of sweet Barbados

Ag-ony, will you cleanse this misery?
           Bb               Gm
For it's never again I'll breathe
            F
The air of home
           Bb    Gm
From this sandy edge
            Bb             Gm
The rolling sea breaks my revenge
            Bb                Gm
With each whisper a thousand waves
        F
I hear roar

I'm coming home

 Whistles the wind
F           C
 Blowin' my way

 Sweepin' me back, back here to stay
F               C
 Can winners be losers?
F                    C
 Runnin' on the same track
F                    C                G
 While some head for glory, others we crash


        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G   
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong


F        C
 My isolation
F                       C
 Now there's a sobering thought
F          C                    G
 A minute alone, a lifetime too long
F                     C
 See the face in this mirror
F                 C
 So pale it could crack
F            C                    G
 Desperately wantin' the color it lacks


        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G   
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong


       F
So you drank with the lost souls
    C
For too many years
F                        C
Tied to their ankles now crippled with fear
F                           Am
Never been righteous though seldom were wrong
G
Life's only life with you in this song

 Where I am and where I want to be
F                  C               
 So you prayers in doubt

Doubt not for me


        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

 Whistles the wind

 Whistles the wind


              F
Though you'll find your way out
            C
But there's no goin' now
      F
Every woman and child
          C
Drags you down for the dive

It's not safe being free
           Am
Can't give back what you feel
               G                        C
He said you'll always be in heaven with me

Whistles The Wind

D
Build a bridge or maybe two
D
Together held with footsteps she outgrew
                 Em     G               D
But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone
D
She dances in a photograph
D
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
             Em         G       D
But that was yesterday, if only today
        G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep



(Chorus 1)

            D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' in the streets
C
Drinkin' their coca-colas
      A
After washing your filthy sheets


                 D
Chasin' down the avenue
D
After a childhood that she never knew
           Em
Choking on woodbine
G                        D
Cigarettes just kill the time
        G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep


(Chorus 2)
            D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' aoin and all
C
Empty are their pockets
          A
But their voices are filled with song

         D
Come day go day
                        A
Wish in my heart it was Sunday
                    G       A
Drinking buttermilk all the week
                 D
And whiskey on a Sunday (traditional)

G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep


(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

                       D
Slayed Richard and his court of Kings
D
He stole my heart and many other things
                  Em
But me I took his crown
G                            D
Wish he was here to steal it now

Other than that, play the chords in the first position.

Verse 1
        C                    G
Tell me why must a man be of service
       C                       G
To his lord and the god seldom high
         C                            G
From the grave spring the name of our fathers
               C          Am         D
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
        C                              G
Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger
     C                        G
And fruitless the crop bitter soil
     C                    G
So I say my farewell to a nation
       C          Am              D
As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son


Chorus
           C                     G
So it's to youth I sing you this story

And it's of youth I sing it now
         C                          G
Like the train that derails without warning
       Am                      D
I must leave what I left far behind
       C               D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh

Verse 2
        C                          G
Tell me why must our peace be this puzzle
     C                             G
That fractures the land, splinters war
         C                           G
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
           C           Am      D
But in the end we must all die alone


Chorus


Bridge
        D
And the bark fell from tree
       C                   G
To the ground that they'll bleed
       D                             G
On the anguish that never learned to shout
         D
With the clash of the drum
      C             G
We'll surrender the gun
            D                          G
and on this sadness we shall no longer speak
      C                     G
Until time can live on our all forgotten songs
            C                   D
That's when I and we will sing again
      G          C        D            G
So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh

Tell me why must our grief still be greiving
      C                              G
For a language that never spoke it's loss
         C                                G
But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire
    N.C.
And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost


Chorus

Outro

Then she arrives to beautify

But slumber now must rest

Oh my Roisin Dubh
      C
I'll forever love

The youth you once possessed

To Youth

Within a Mile of Home

G                        C          G 
His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke 
                      Em 
He had seen all to be seen

A life once full, now an empty vase

With the blossoms on his early grave

Walk away me boy, walk away me boy

Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear

And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Fell apart as they hit the floor.

To the color we're born to mourn.

In his place there grew an angry festered wound 
                       Em 
Filled with hatred and remorse 
          G                        C        G 
Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched

The silent rage now that fills my lungs 
G                                 C        G 
For there are many ways to kill a man they say

With bayonet, axe, or sword 
   G                         C         G 
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise 
                          D       G 
Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun. 

     C           G 
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys

Drunken Lullabies

D                                 
If I ever leave this world alive, 
G                                 D
I'll thank ya' for things you did in my life.

If I ever leave this world alive,
G                                      D
I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight.
           A
Wherever I am, you'll always be.
          Bm         G          
More than just a memory.
     D               A       D
If I ever leave this world alive.

D
If I ever leave this world alive,
G                                    D
I'll take on all the sadness, that I left behind.

If I ever leave this world alive,
G                              D
The madness that you feel will soon subside.
          A  
So in a word, don't shed a tear.
        Bm                    G
I'll be here when it all gets weird.
     D     A                  D     A 
If I ever leave this world alive.
      D          D           D    A
Just before you go insane

     D               A   
If I ever leave this world
           Bm           G
Hey, I may never leave this world
         D               A       D   A 
But if I ever leave this world alive...she says
     D
I'm okay, I'm alright
                Bm           G
Though you have gone from my life
                 D
You said that it would,
               A
Now everything should,
     D    A 
Be alright
              D
She says, I'm okay!

I'm alright!
                Bm           G
Though you have gone from my life.
                 D
You said that it would,
               A
Now everything should,
     D     
Be alright.
A                 D
Yeah, should be alright.

If I Ever Leave This World Alive

G    D    G    D    C   Bb   D C Bb A G

G                D          
Next time out to sea 
G                         D
Bring enough soil to bury me 
C                    Bb
For I don't want my final jig 
       D  C  Bb A G
In the belly of a squid
G                        D
Take my trousers take my shirt 
G                       D
Just give me that sweet dirt 
C                        Bb
For the water's cold and grim 
       D    C    Bb   A  G
And I never did learn to swim
G                        D 
No her love never set me free 
G                    D
So I set off for the ocean
C                          Bb 
Now in my dreams she comes to me 
D   C  Bb  A  G
Whispering of peace 
G                        D
But I've known since the day 
G                        D
That we sailed for Santiago
C                     Bb 
Her dry embrace would kiss my face
D  C  Bb  A  G 
No never, No more 

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress 
G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress 

G    D    G    D    C   Bb   D C Bb A G


G                 D
Many moons to the day
G                     D
That I threw her love away
C                      Bb 
Now every whale spouts "go to hell" 
D      C     Bb    A     G
As the wind laughs in my face
G                        D 
I've grown harder on the eyes
G                D
And salty to the taste
C                      Bb 
My pride has gone with the wake
     D    C Bb   A   G
As I wait a cold wet grave 
G             D
I rose to the smell
G               D 
Of a wet desert hell
C                Bb 
And I thought to myself
        D    C  Bb A    G 
How'd I wind up in this jail
G                      D 
Till a voice called to me
G                    D 
From deep within the sea 
C                    Bb
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman
     D   C Bb    A  G 
Your ass belongs to me 

G            C     D
The sea is a cruel mistress
G            C     D 
The sea is a cruel mistress

Cruel Mistress

Verse
D              G           D
I saw her there fade from afar 
D                G
Her hair gray charcoal 
       D             A
Takes a drag from her tar. 
 G            A
I kissed her a smile, 
       D              G
but her blood red shot eye 
        G         A                 C
Said the son never shines on closed doors


Verse
D                   G             D
It's been eight long years since I saw 
   D           G
The woman who's labored 
         D         A
Since the day I was born. 
     G            A
These wrinkles now face 
       D              G
To that cold dark damp place, 
         G            A                   D
Where the son never shines on closed doors. 


Chorus
            G            A                   D
She said the son never shines on closed doors 
 G         A            D             A
I open to find only hurricanes blow. 
G          A              D                G
Takes me away, to the green fields of May, 
           G            A                   D
Because the son never shines on closed doors. 


Verse
D                    G               D
Death comes like a thief in the night 
  D                  G
To steal while you sleep, 
          D             A
the soul's flickering light. 
    G             A
Well maybe it's then, 
             D          G
she said I'll see you again, 
           G            A                   D
Because the son never shines on closed doors. 


Chorus
            G            A                   D
She said the son never shines on closed doors 
  G         A            D             A
I open to find only hurricanes blow. 
G         A               D              G
Take me away, to the green fields of May, 
           G            A                   D
Because the son never shines on closed doors.

Outro
      A             G           D
And we all go the same way home, 
       A             G           D

Son Never Shines On Closed

G             D      G             C
Death valley queen where have you been
             G             Em 
Since they crowned you in glory
        G              D 
Filled your head with dreams
        G             D             G 
But it still goes to show in every desert
           C              G         D         G 
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
               D              G 
I remember you well from that town
         C             G          Em 
You did dwell with the face of an angel
       G          D 
In a dump hot as hell 
         G           D
When I asked for a kiss
      G         C 
You kindly dismissed
       G           D             G
So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter
 D      G      C          D
Tell me dear what did you fear
                 G             C          D 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
G                C         G         C 
So death valley queen go marry your king
      G               D            G 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 

Off I did set on my trail of regret 
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown 
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours 
After several gallons of porter 
When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke 
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head 
So death valley queen go marry your king 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 

           D     G           C         G         D
Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way
          D   G           C                 D
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say 
     G        D          G
That I have always loved you
     G       C           G 
Yeah I have always loved you
     G  D  G C
Yeah I 
     G
Yeah I
         C 
I have always loved you 

When I returned downtrodden and burned 
There were billy goats grazing 
Where once you'd be found 
So I hung out to dry 
On this limb for a lie 
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland 
Tell me dear what did you fear 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin 
So death valley queen go marry your king 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 
I said death valley queen go marry your king 
And a-roving I'll end up for certain

# Repeat till end of song

G                            C           G 
His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke 
       Em             D
He had seen all to be seen 
  G                      C    G 
A life once full, now an empty vase

Walk away me boy, walk away me boy

Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three

Fell apart as they hit the floor.

In his place there grew an angry festered wound

Filled with hatred and remorse 
          G                         C        G 
Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched

With bayonet, axe, or sword 
          G                   C         G 
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise 
               D                   G 
Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun.

Walk away me boys, walk away me boys

Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                 D                    G 
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Verse 1
G
Many's the day, I took for granted
Am                              Em
Breathing the air that silenced some
    Em
The North wind blew, It's head asunder
Am                                      Em
Beating it's breast with a war drenched song

Prechorus 1
G      Am               C
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber
G          Am      D
Cry what's left to sleep
         G            Am              C
When you dream of the love ya left forever
G           Am       D
But pity no more nor greive

Chorus
D            G           C
So we're the kings of it all
    Am          D
The day we were born
D              G            Am      D
Yeah we're the kings of the Kilburn High
D          G             C              Am            D
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
D          G              Am          D
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
D           C            D       Em
We were the kings of the Kilburn High

Intro

Verse 2
G
Listen to the sound of dead men dying
Am                           Em
March as they flee but exile bound
      Em
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors
    Am                                   Em
For gone is the green and their hallowed ground

Prechorus 2
G        Am                  C
Toast to tears of times past glories
G            Am          D
This ageless clock chime stalls
D        G        Am              C
Where to kiss the lips of love forgotten
G               Am          D
To fly where no others have soared

Chorus

Prechorus 2

Verse 1
G               C          G 
I saw her there fade from afar
G                 C
Her hair gray charcoal
        G             D
Takes a drag from her tar.
  C            D
I kissed her a smile,
        G              C
but her blood red shot eyes
          C         D                G 
Said "the son never shines on closed doors.

It's been eight long years since I saw

The woman who's labored

Since the day I was born

These wrinkles now face

Where the son never shines on closed doors

I open to find only hurricanes blow.
C        D            G               C
Takes me away, to the green fields of May,
            C         D                G
Because the son never shines on closed doors.

G                               C           G
There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land
G                           D             G
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
G                            C              G
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
G                             D          G
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again

But those of us, those of us, who forget where we're from

Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn

C             C

To the way life used to be

G                           C             G
A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak
G                             D      G
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
G                             C          G
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
G                        D          G
The damage now glistens, see how it glows

Yesterday is better than it is today
G                        D              G
And today will be better tomorrow, they say
G                                  C            G
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
G                                     D               G
That's "live and let live," we're all different, that counts

C                C                         G

Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies

Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
D                      C
So come down from your heaven, Lord

Let me show you Hell on earth

Wipe the blood from your lip

Theres no thorn in the side left to grow

So lets cherrish the names that we lost for an age

With the rue now the supper must go

Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend
The grass glistens now for alls eyes
So lets sever the shame we have come to reclaim
With the waters retreat feel the shore for us
         G                    A                    B
Woth the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more

Verse:
Rip the dreet from his heart
Theres no sorrow tonight
For onc bannished dreams sleep devine
Where the silence you hear is the prosper we shared
The only blade is a razor sharp smile
Still the church bell rings the colective sings that still roam
But the only thing left is the pain of nothing once more

Chorus:
Don't look back
For whats dead now is safe
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe

Verse:
Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in the ground
Where the roots claimed the earth many tioled
To a land that now stands under no-ones command
And her beauty let no man destroy
So rember the gun and the damage it's done
The last drop as been silled for you and I
Let there be no desperre for the rule we once shared
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines

Where the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more
Where the ghost still haunt for the day we come to the fore

Chorus:
Don't look back
For whats dead now is safe
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's

Paddy's Lament

Verse 1
Em
It took me everything I had
                   Am
To give all that I could

Walk beside me while I sleep
                          Em
Steer me from the slumber wolf

Tangled forest of the mind
                     Am
Speaks to me of self-despise

Close the window through the pane
                  B7
Hear the siren's serenade...


Verse 2
Em
Could have been the comeback kid
                               Am
The southpaws' legend glove to fill

No shadow boxer but the one
                         B7
A true contender for the crown

Now this punch drunk grinning soul
                      Am          D     G
In its' corner begs 'no more'


Chorus
    D         C
Hey now, stay proud

Em
The chamber echo never speaks

The rushin' tide devours my feet

No global warming fills this soul
                            B7
For hell it freezes what it stole

From the beggar's empty plate

To our world that stuffs its' face

While the paint never dries

Come hear the meant for mothers with childless hands

Picture an ending before it's begun

The art of forgiveness is not what we're taught
Am                Dm
Reek of the havoc already made
G                       C          G
The cradle was damaged, dug by the grave
Am                        Dm
Where you lie in the sin, for mortal's the soul
G                      Am
Forgive me this father before I go cold
Am                      Dm
From burden of grief and all I regret
G                       Em
Spare me the conscience before I forget

Hand in your pocket, burnt by the fire

Cold as the stone you threw at the wall
G                       C          G
Blood never boils till the pressure is high
Am                        Dm

Man With No Country

[Verse 1]
C
I've been walking miles forever
C
Through these footprints of my life
C
When I offered you my sadness
           Am   G  Am
You took home with delight
C
Eat my heart when you are hungry
C
I have nothing more to give
C
Let us not forget each other
           Am   G   Am 
When our wounds begin to spill

[Chorus]
         F                C      
So say a prayer for me in silence
         F                C
Let no cathedral mock our hearts
         F                C
That's when I will be forgiven
            Am  G  C
Let us never fall apart

[Verse 2]
I've been wrong on more occasions
Than I'd like to recognize
But there's room in our vocation
If we read between the lines
Every house needs a foundation
So the mortar we'll supply
We'll be broke but never broken
Let us laugh until we cry

[Chorus]

A Prayer For Me In Silence

Who are walking away
A  E
Tragic
    G            D           G         D       E
The pubs are all closin, the system is broken, decayed.

Because

Yeah this life
     D
In a modern town.
    G                             A
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out.
     A                      D
It's not a good day left to be in a fight.
    G                         A
Cuz livin is hard through the struggles of life.
   G                       D        G
If nothing gets done it'll never be right.
                  A A A G/D
But don't shut em down
[Chorus]


A   E
Lately
    G            D
The twenty-first century's been
A  E
Crazy

It's the sign of the times.
A   E
Buildings
     G         D                G           D             E
Decomposing in slumber, there's no work for all till they wake.


[Chorus]


[Bridge]
F        C
Too many faults no reasons
F             C
The rain that falls dry bleedin
F        C            E         
Upon the ashes of our homes, our homes, save our homes
[/Bridge]

Manic
The word on the street here is
Panic
There's a riot on hand.
A  E
People
      G           D               G        D            E
Takin care of the people, there's no other way or we'll break.


[Chorus] Repeat once more

[Outro] Played the same as the pre-verse
A                                            G         D       A
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families(But don't shut em down)
A                                            G         D       A

Verse 1
        D
In this present state of grace
          A
I hold my head up high
           G
Though the water damage froze
        D
Another flood will soon be by
G            D
 Here and now is all we'll be
             A                              D
So it's this present state of grace I offer thee


Chorus 1

Welcome home to the men

              Bm            G
Back to their lives and the lies
        D             A
Shat on them by government
            D             G
Through the barbs and the pokes
        D                 G
And the ones we'd like to choke
          D                A             D
It's this present state of grace I offer thee

Verse 2
        D
In this present state of grace
           A 
A poor man robbed me blind
         G
Though I offered him the cash
                 D
He said 'don't insult my pride'
G                  D
 To each their own, we're just flesh and bone

And this present state of grace I offer thee


Verse 3
        D
In this present state of grace
          A
I saw the wall capsize
    G
And through the banks they fell
         D
Into the swelling tide
G                 D
 Let them eat cake for our mistakes
         A                              D 
And this present state of grace I offer thee


Chorus 2
                  Bm               G
So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
          D
Under the carpet sweep behind
            Bm          G
Where passengers making turns
            D              A
Towards the coming great divide
         D             G
The true prophet never spoke
        D                  G
He just smiles and saw the joke

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.

Drogadependiente, doctor o paciente,

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser.

Derrame de combustible, exterminio forestal.
El motor contaminante no se detendrá.
Para ser hay otro día en el planeta inferior.
Como cualquier día, como todo día
Con o sin mi reflexión.

Sufrir, gozar.

Beautiful Girls

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,

I'm going where the people know my name

y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
