Clash Of The Tartans

10,000 Shots

Real McKenzies is a Celtic punk band founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1992, described as "a guitar-and-bagpipe wailing Celtic punk rock-and-roll". They have set themselves apart from other punk bands by including bagpipes in all of their studio albums and at most of their concerts, much like the similar bands Dropkick Murphys and Flatfoot 56. Their current piper, Matt MacNasty, has been with the band since its release of "Loch'd and Loaded" in 2001. Read more on Last.fm

I will build my love a tower
         A                E
Near the pure and crystal fountain
A                  F#m
And upon it I will pile
        A                F#m
All the flowers from the mountain
        E   A      E
Will ye go, lassy, go

All around the bloomin' heather

The battle moves on

We’ve taken hits but still we stand strong

Even with no end in sight

    Eb
I remember a time
                  Ab
So much easier to pick out the blind
           Eb
All tucked warm in their beds
                  Bb
With a blanket of lies
   Eb
To give truth a breath
                             Ab
Of fresh air we will have to make them confess
     Eb       Bb        Eb
And atone for falsehood shrines


Pre Chorus

So we can hold, so pridefully

A place we built, in harmony

Through us they will never die

You sip your wine

Life has always needed lads to piss away the time… HEY!!!

Due West

Verse 1
Bb          F                 Gm                   F
  Woke up today and caught in last night's smoke, 
  Eb              Bb             Cm     F
I hung my wet and stinky kilt to dry. 
        Bb           F                Gm               F
There's not a lot of room in here my eviction's in the works I fear 
    Eb              F             Bb
But still I hold my finger in the pie.
         F             Gm               F
And so I open wide the door to find the day, 
     Eb                Dm                 Cm     F
That son of a bitch so bright she made me blind. 
    Bb         F             Gm            F
But slowly I adjust to see a paradise turn grey 
Eb                 F                   Bb
full of those that left their dreams behind.

Verse 2
Bb              F                 Gm             F
  The corporate girl, the company guy bent outta shape with strain 
 Eb        Dm             Cm    F
300 days a year to earn a dime. 
     Bb                   F            Gm                    F
They get a heart attack a-walkin' or a stroke on the phone a-talkin' 
Eb             F                Bb
Paid in paltry cash a trade for time.


Chorus

  I'm just a burnout! I've got no common sense,
                                           F
I've spent my rent on a binge on Wednesday night.
Eb                 Bb               F                Gm
Thursday stayed in bed till 5, then borrowed cash to stay alive,
     Eb               F               Bb
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right.

Verse 3
Bb                    F              Eb               F
  I know you all have scrutinized my failing flailing life, 
  Eb              Dm             Cm    F
A part of me just wishes I could care.
    Bb          F             Gm             F
But honestly my own decree is simply to live happily! 
    Eb              F                Bb
And die with all my memories left to share!


Chorus x2


Outro
Gm           F            Eb          Bb
  I'm just a burnout, but got not one lament

Cause I only ever wanted to be content!

Well I know a three eyed kitten
    Bb
She lives not far away
    C
She loves The Real McKenzies
        F             C F
But she don’t like me always
       F
She’ll always be my kitten
           Bb
And she’ll never be a cat
      C
Cause she’s my three eyed kitten
                           F
So what do you think about that?

Three Eyed Kitten

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

                      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#

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                     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

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.

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
