Tom: F (intro) C Dm C Dm C Dm F C C Dm Mc Cormack and Richard Tauber C Dm Are singing by the bed. C Dm There's a glass of punch below your feet F C And an angel at your head. There's (C) devils on each (Dm) side of you With (C) bottles in their (Dm) hands. C Dm You need one more drop of poison Am And you'll dream of foreign lands. F Bb When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt C F And got syph down in Cologne F Bb And you heard the rattling death trains C F As you lay there all alone, F C Frank Ryan brought you whiskey Bb C In a brothel in Madrid Bb And you decked some fucking blackshirt C Who was cursing all the Yids. F At the sick bed of Cuchulainn Bb F We'll kneel and say a prayer Bb F And the ghosts are rattling at the door C F And the devil's in the chair. ( F F Bb F ) F Bb And in the Euston Tavern C F You screamed it was your shout F Bb But they wouldn't give you service C F So you kicked the windows out. F C They took you out into the street Bb C And kicked you in the brains, Bb So you walked back in through a bolted door C And did it all again. F At the sick bed of Cuchulainn Bb F We'll kneel and say a prayer Bb F And the ghosts are rattling at the door C F And the devil's in the chair. ( F Bb C ) C Dm You're member that foul evening C Dm When you heard the banshees howl, C Dm There was lazy drunken bastards F C Singing 'Billy is in the bowl.' C Dm They took you up to midnight mass C Dm And left you in the lurch C Dm So you dropped a button in the plate Am And spewed up in the church. F Bb Now you'll sing a song of liberty C F For blacks and paks and jocks F Bb And they'll take you from this dump you're in C F And stick you in a box. F C Then they'll take you to Cloughprior Bb C And shove you in the ground Bb But you'll stick your head back out and shout, C "We'll have another round." F At the graveside of Cuchulainn Bb F We'll kneel around and pray Bb F And God is in His heaven, C F And Billy's down by the bay. ( F Bb C )
