Flogging Molly – Drunken Lulbies (Ukulele)

G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes

Em
To glisten once again

C
Five hundred years like Gelignite

Em                   D
Have blown us all to hell

G
What savior rests while on his cross we die

Em
Forgotten freedom burns

C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray

Em                   D
to the bigot and the gun

C                               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes

C                D
To glisten once again

         G        C            Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

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                      D
In their bloody gutless 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                              D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes

C                D
To glisten once again

         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

        C              D         G
Ah but maybe it s the way we're taught

   C              D      G
Or maybe it s the way we fought

      C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin

         C         D          G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost

       C               G
Though nothing left to gain

            C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave

         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I sit in and dwell on faces past

Em
Like memories seem to fade

C
No colour left but black and white

Em                     D
And soon will all turn 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                     D
Shall beat a new found flame

C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes

C                D
To glisten once again

         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
