Am G Am With achin' heart and steady hand, I'm puttin pen to paper, father dear Am G Am I trust these words'll find you and pray that you can read 'em through your tears Dm Am They say a man that's born to sing can scare away his woes G Am And banish all his anger and his pain Dm Am But the screamin' in my head killed the singin' in my soul G Em G Am And I fear I'll never recall the tune again [Verse 2] Am G Am Em G Am I've trouble with the sleepin', my shadows weight impossible to bear Am G Am I hear my sister weepin' and callin to me from that other where Dm Am The names o' them I loved are carved into my skin G Am The greatest crew a fighter ever had Dm Am They call us gypsy bastards and say it like it's sin G Em G Am That all our wars are merry and all our songs are sad. [Chorus] Am C G Tell 'em I went out dancin', tell 'em I went to war Dm Am G Tell 'em whatever you want to all the same Am C G It's said a man dies first when he's parted wi' his soul Dm Am G Am Em G Am And second when folk forget to speak his na -- a -- me [Verse 3] Am G Am Em G Am Derry born and barely raised, I'd hardly bear to see the place again Am G Am 'Till in merrie bloody England I found myself a brother to the end Dm Am It's proper that youre grievin', yer poorer for me leavin' G Am The best and fairest any given day Dm Am Let Matty, Marco, Luke, and John bless the slab im lyin on G Em G Am Kiss me arse and send me on me way [Chorus] Am C G Tell 'em I went out dancin' tell 'em I went to war Dm Am G Tell 'em whatever you want to all the same Am C G It's said a man dies first when he's parted wi' his soul Dm Am G Am Em G Am And second when folk forget to speak his na -- a -- me [Verse 4] Am G Am Em G Am A half a dozen monkeys the devil sent to snap me o'er his knee Am G Am I slapped their filthy tongues back in their skulls and did it laughin' wickedly Dm Am Smash the right and fuck the left, I'll curse 'em with my dyin' breath G Am As bent as each to other I would say Dm Am The only drum I march to is me Irish bloody heart G Em G Am kickin' out against its brittle cage. [Chorus] Am C G Tell 'em I went out dancin' tell 'em I went to war Dm Am G Tell 'em whatever you want to all the same Am C G It's said a man dies first when he's parted wi' his soul Dm Am G Am And second when folk forget to speak his na -- a -- me [Chorus] Am C G Tell 'em I went down swingin' tell 'em I went to war Dm Am G Tell 'em whatever you want to all the same Am C G It's said a man dies first when he's parted wi' his soul Dm Am G Am And second when folk forget to speak his na -- a -- me Em G Am Speak my name (4x)
