[Tune from Drunken Lullabies, by Flogging Molly]
[Fast—paced, foot—stomping, with a bit of an Irish rebel folk vibe]
[Verse]
G G Woke up to a noise like thunder and steel, Em Em My walls shook, my windows squealed. C C Out in the yard stood a man in a vest, Em D Said, “we’re repossessing this mess.” G G I said, “Hold on, now——this is my land! Em Em You’re takin’ nothin’ from my calloused hands!” Em Em He smirked, raised a paper, said, “Ain’t my call,” Em D And I saw the wrecking ball ready to fall.
[Chorus]
[Big shout—along!]
C G Oh no, you ain’t wrecking my home! C D I built these walls with my sweat and bones! G C Em You want this house? Better take me too! G D G You just ain’t wrecking my home. [Verse] G G They'd tossed my couch, my boots, my bed, Em Em My granddad’s chair and the books I’ve read. Em Em The kettle rolled down to the gutter below, Em D But I brewed a strong pot right there in the road.
[Chorus]
[Even louder]
C G Oh no, you ain’t wrecking my home! C D I built these walls with my sweat and bones! G C Em You want this house? Better take me too! G D G You just ain’t wrecking my home.
[Verse]
G G Called up my neighbors, called up my friends. Em Em Called up that lawyer who don’t make amends. C C We blocked the road, we filled up the street, Em D Said, “To get this place, it’s me you’ll have to beat!” G G The foreman sighed, said, “Man, don’t fight.” Em Em But I saw him sweating ‘cause he knew I was right. C C Then the mayor rolled up with a grin so wide, Em D Till we let him know he was trapped inside!
[Chorus]
C G Oh no, you ain’t wrecking my home! C D I built these walls with my sweat and bones! G C Em You want this house? Better take me too! G D G You just ain’t wrecking my home.
[Verse]
[Spoken, like a pub chant]
G G They sent the cops, they sent the suits, Em Em They sent their lawyers in shiny boots. C C But when we stood and made our stand, Em D They learned what it means to fight for land!
[Sung]
G G Next morning, they packed up and let us be, Em Em Said, “Forget it, mate, this ain’t worth the fee.” C C Now my house still stands and my flag still flies, Em D And I’ll be damned if they take me alive!
[Chorus]
[defiant and triumphant!]
C G Oh no, you ain’t wrecking my home! C D I built these walls with my sweat and bones! G C Em You want this house? Better take me too! G D G You just ain’t wrecking my home.
[Outro]
[shouted, fading into cheers!]
G D G You just ain’t wrecking my home.
