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!
