The Pogues – Gartloney Rats (Guitar)

C                              Gm
The boys from the village were festering sore

Gm                              F
For a day on the rant with some music and more

C                                  Gm
They'd drink porter in Maura's way over in fore

         F                        C
And they never get drunk but stay sober

C                             Gm
There was Harry the banjo and Dunne of the swan

Gm                                 F
With whose bone from the wing he'd beat the bodhran

        C                          Gm
And the song that he'd sing was of ganders and all

         F                        C
And he'd never get drunk but stay sober

C                                 Gm
There was woods on the guitar and auld squeeze box too

Gm                          F
Who came from a time before aeroplanes flew

     C                   Gm
He'd sit in a corner and mule quite a few

    F                        C
And never get drunk but stay sober

C                              Gm
There was Mahon the singer who knew all the songs

Gm                         F
And never was known for to put a foot wrong

     C                               Gm
He'd sing through the night till the break o' the morn

         F                        C
And he'd never get drunk but stay sober

C                   Gm
Harry the banjo now there was a man

Gm                  F
A bottomless pit if ever there was one

C                                Gm
More porter he'd draw than there is in the land

         F                        C
And he'd never get drunk but stay sober

C                       Gm
The Gartloney Rats they play away

Gm                            F
They'd play for the pints and not for the pay

        C                           Gm
And the pints they'd go down in the usual way

           F                        C
And they'd never get drunk but stay sober
