As recorded by the Dropkick Murphys (From the 1999 Album THE GANG'S ALL HERE) [Verse 1]
G               C             G             C
Another wake, another time, a premature goodbye

     G                         C
I've watched you grow and I've seen you pass

         D                G
I always knew it wouldn't last

                C                    G              C
Together now we mourn the loss and remember all the fun

      G                  C                   D            G
We'll drink the beer and hangout where death took another son

                   C                 G           C
So all for one and one for all do we ever wonder why

       G                   C                  D                G    N.C.
Though reasons clear, this friend so dear was taken before his time
[Chorus]
N.C.        A                           D
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man

       A                                    D
With a toast that tells of a love you never shared

         F                         A
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved

                     N.C.                        D     
Raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
[Verse 2]
G              A              D
Many bow their heads for this man they knew so well

            G                       A                 D
With solemn thoughts they drink and drug for a resurrection

 D
(Facing death you fear no danger)

      G                  A               D
While Mothers shed their tears through a veil of desperation

      G                 A                D
These fiends of vicious breed raise holy hell
[Chorus]
            A                           D
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man

       A                                    D
With a toast that tells of a love you never shared

         F                         A
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved

                     N.C.                        D     
Raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
[Verse 3]
    G              A                    D
How many times can fate be chanced, the dice be rolled

            G                 A          D
Is their no path of least resistance for the bold

 D
(Never sought and rarely taken)

G              A               D
Shocked and dismayed at how it stole his life

          G                 A                D
When this fateful course of action takes its toll
[Chorus]
            A                           D
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man

       A                                    D
With a toast that tells of a love you never shared

         F                         A
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved

                     N.C.                        D     
Raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
[Interlude] A D A D A D G A D [Chorus]
            A     N.C.                     
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man
N.C. With a toast that tells of a love you never shared N.C. So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved
               A N.C.                            D     
Raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
[Verse 4]
    G                A              D
Now let's all gather round in our costume suits and ties

        G                   A              D
Telling now this soul was a source of inspiration

 D
(Love him now, he lives no longer)

        G              A            D
But you never tell the tales of the times you turned your back

        G                A                   D
On this friend who never found the righteous path
[Outro-Chorus]
            A                           D
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man

       A                                    D
With a toast that tells of a love you never shared

         F                         A
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved

                     N.C.     G           A      D       N.C. D
Raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
