Glen Hansard – Mccormacks Wall (Guitar)

           C                F
Well, I’ve not been honest, darlin',

         G                    Am
No, I’ve not been straight at all.

        C        F
Well, I beg your pardon;

             G                  F
The night we jumped McCormack’s Wall

         C             F
I was so happy just to be with you

                  G           Am
I would have said anything at all.

            C                
Now I could scream your name

         F
Till you do the same,

      G              F
But I know you won’t respond

     G
Well, here we are.

       F
What’s there to do?

       C   F   G   Am
La din da...

       C   F 
La din da...

          G               F
I’m gonna ride black river

         C           F
With the lark in the morning

        G            Am
And the dew upon the dawn,

        C              F
Well, a-home we came a-crawling

         G            F
With our sickness and our song

    C          F
For all guitar makers;

        G                 Am
for the prisoners and the law;

           C         F
And to the fine wine drinkers

    G                   F
Who drank their bellies raw;

       C              F
And to all the good samaritans,

        G               Am
Whoever found us in the dark;

       C               
And to all who’ve been

   F
Or come between

    G             F
The lovers in the park;

       C                    F
And to all the Ó Díomasaigh singers

           G             Am
With their roots in holy ground.

       C              F
And forgiveness still lingers

       G               F
In the bells above the town.

      G
Well, here we are.

       F
What’s there to do?

       C   F   G   Am
La din da...

       C   F 
La din da...

          G               F
I’m gonna ride black river

       C   F   G   Am
La din da...

       C   F 
La din da...

          G               F
I’m gonna ride black river

           C            F
Well, this is a song of drinking,

          G                Am
And for a drink it will be sung,

         C                       F
And I’ll sing it right, and I’ll say goodnight —

               G               F
Unless they're serving another one
