Every Dog Has Its Day

Flogging Molly

 CGDmG
Lake Tanganyika,  where the crocodiles swim     
(fast 4/4) C G C G
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land
 CGDmG
Well I drank with the Sultan   down the Suez Canal    

Chorus:
 CG
Cause every dog has it's day
 CG
Like every woman, she gets her own way
 CG
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
 FCGCG
I'll captain that, too...   just to be there with you              

Verse 2:

 CGCG
Well there was old Jerry Rooney,   who was mad as a mule   
 CGDmG
Spillblood Maloney   had a head like one, too     
 CGCG
That night on the bridge    with my shovel in hand   
 CGDmG
Well he threatened to kill me    I'm sure he picked the wrong man    

CHORUS

Verse 3:
 CGCG
Well there was mutiny in Lagos    aboard the mean ship Skondi      
 CGDm
Ten or twelve days in prison    till the bastards set me free
 G
McCloskey, you're free

Instrumental:

 CGCGCGDmG

CHORUS

 CGCGCGDm

Verse 4:

(slow 3/4) C G C G
Now I love the sea, and she wants me back
 CGDmG
So I leave this ol' harbor   with the wind at me back   
(very slow) C G C G
Goodbye mother Theresa I hope the kids settle down
 CGDmG
I must head for the Chinas    Pray to God I don't drown     

CHORUS X3

End on C chord

That's the whole song. Ideally you'd have drums, fiddle, and mandolin to fill
out the sound a bit, but this is a wonderful song as it is. Remember to pick up
the pace for the ending choruses, and have fun with it!
