***The Broad Majestic Shannon - by Shane MacGowan from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" Note: I have added some fills that I play on guitar that duplicate other instruments on the song. I also added the bridge that was missing.

    D                       G           D
The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks

          D                     G            Bm
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks

    D                             G
You sang me a song as pure as the breeze

     D            G       A
on a road leading up Glenaveigh

  D                      G           D
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe

            D                          G               Bm
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom

D                                              G
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone

      D              G        A         D
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go

        D                  G     A
Take my hand, and dry your tears babe

        D                 G     A
Take my hand, forget your fears babe

           D                     G  A
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow

            D     G             A
They're all gone,   gone in the years babe

D G D Bm D G A D (with Main Riff) I sat for a while by the gap in the wall Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball D G D Bm D G A D (with Main Riff) Bridge: G D (4x)

     D                     G   A
So I walked as the day was dawning

                  D                    G   A
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling

              D                     G   A
Where we once watched the row boats landing

       D     G         A   D
By the broad  majestic Shannon
