D C Am G (4 times)
Now, a guitar:
chords: F Eb
Time for some singing:
A F hand held over a Eb candle in angst fuelled bra F vado Eb
A F carbon trail Eb scores a moist stretched F palm Eb
(etc.)
And you C listen with a F tear in Bb your eye
to their C hopes and be F trayels and your Bb only reply
is Slainte mhath.
The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:
F Princes in exile Eb raising the standard Dram F buie Eb
Pa F rading their anecdotes Eb tired from old cam F paigns Eb
(etc.)
Take it a Ab way
Take it a Bb way
Take it a Csus4 way
Take it a Bbsus4 way, take it away
Take it a Csus7 way, take it away
Take me a C way! Bb F
C Bb F
From the C dream on a the barbed wire
at Flanders and Bb Bilston F Glen
From a C Clydeside that rusts
from the tears of its Bb broken F men
(etc.)
And that's all folks!
