Drunken Lullabies Flogging Molly
OK. So after some playing around I've finally figured it out. The tabs on this site come close
but not quite. This is how I play it in my band's cover.
Song: Drunken Lullabies
Artist: Flogging Molly
Album: Drunken Lullabies
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
[--]
Intro:
[G-C-G-D]
G-C-G-D-G The C chords are not held for long. You can hear it in the song if you listen.
Verse:
[G]Must it take a life for hateful eyes
[Em]To glisten once again
[C]Five hundred years like Gelignite
[Em]Have blown us all to [D]hell
[G]What savior rests while on his cross we die
[Em]Forgotten freedom burns
[C]Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
[Em]to the bigot and the [D]gun
[C]Must it take a life for hateful [G]eyes
[C]To glisten once a[D]gain
Cause we [G]find ours[C]elves in the [Em]same old mess
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
[G]I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
[Em]Turn a darker shade of red
[C]And the bullet with this sniper lie
[Em]In their bloody gutless [D]cell
[G]Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
[Em]Through these bars of men made steel
[C]Is it a great or little thing we fought
[Em]Knelt the conscience blessed to [D]kill
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/flogging_molly/drunken_lullabies_crd_ver_2.html )
[C]Must it take a life for [G]hateful eyes
[C]To glisten once a[D]gain
Cause we [G]find our[C]selves in the [Em]same old mess
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
Ah, but [C]maybe it`s the [D]way we're [G]taught
Or [C]maybe it`s the [D]way we [G]fought
But a [C]smile never [D]grins without [G]tears to [C]begin
For each [C]kiss is a [D]cry we all [G]lost
Though [C]nothing left to [G]gain
But for the [C]banshee that stole the [D]grave
Cause we [G]find our[C]selves in the [Em]same old mess
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
[G]I sit in and dwell on faces past
[Em]Like memories seem to fade
[C]No colour left but black and white
[Em]And soon will all turn [D]grey
[G]But may these shadows rise to walk again
[Em]With lessons truly learnt
[C]When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
[Em]Shall beat a new found [D]flame
[C]Must it take a life for [G]hateful eyes
[C]To glisten once a[D]gain
Cause we [G]find our[C]selves in the [Em]same old mess
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
Cause we [G]find our[C]selves in the [Em]same old mess
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
Singin' [G]drunken [D]lulla[G]bies
