I love you, I love you, I told you I do
C7M
It's all I've ever felt, I've never
Em
Felt so well
G7M
And if you don't know it, I wrote you
Am
This tune
C7M
To be here loving you when I'm in the
Em
Tomb
G7M
I've eddied the heart now, from Dublin
Am
To Paris
C7M
And if there was sunshine, it was never
Em
On me
G7M
So close, the rain, so pronounced is
Am
The pain
C7M
Yeah

[Primera Parte]
EmG
Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I
Understand
Am
I had to be there from the start, I had
C
To be the f*cking man
Em
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked
G
The ring off every hand
AmC
Had 'em plying me with drink, even met
With their demands
EmG
When the cherries lined up, I kept the
Spoilings for myself
AmC
'Til I had thirty ways of dying looking
At me from the shelf
EmG
Cloud-parting smile I had, a real good
Child I was
AmC
But this island's run by sharks with
Children's bones stuck in their jaws
Em
Now the morning's filled with cokeys
G
Tryna talk you through it all
Am
Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their
C
Daddy Fianna Fáil?
Em
And they say they love the land, but
G
They don't feel it go to waste
AmC
Hold a mirror to the youth and they
Will only see their face
Em
Makes flowers read like broadsheets
G
Every young man wants to die
AmC
Say it to the man who profits, and the
Bastard walks by
Em
And the bastard walks by, and the
G
Bastard walks by
AmC
Say it to him fifty times and still the
Bastard won't cry
Em
Would I lie?

Echo, echo, echo, the lights, they go

Go

Am
And I'll love you 'til the grass around
C
My gravestone is deceased
Em
And I'm heading for the cokeys, I will
G
Tell them 'bout it all
Am
About the gall of Fine Gael and the
C
Fail of Fianna Fáil
Em
And now the flowers read like

Broadsheets, every young man
Wants to die
