Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
Intro: | C | F C | C | G |
| C | F C | C G | C |
C Am
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
F C G
Five hundred years like Gelignite have blown us all to hell
C Am
What savior rests while on his cross we die forgotten freedom burns
F C G
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun
F C F G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
C Am F C
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin'
C G C
Drunken lullabies
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie in their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago through these
bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought knelt the conscience blessed to kill
[Chorus]
F G C
Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
F G C
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
F G C Am
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
F G C
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
F C
Though there is nothing left to gain
F G
But for the banshee that stole the grave
C Am F C
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin'
C G C

C Am
I sit in and dwell on faces past like memories seem to fade
F C G
No color left but black and white and soon will all turn grey
C Am
But may these shadows rise to walk again with lessons truly learnt
F C G
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts shall beat a new found flame
C F G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
C Am F C
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin'
