Verse 1:
[Em]Selling genocide and half-cut [G]pride, I understand
I had to be t[Am]there from the start, I had to be [C]the f*cking man
It was a c[Em]clamber of the life, I sucked the [G]ring off every hand
Had 'em p[Am]plying me with drink, [C]even met with their demands
[Em]When the cherries lined up, [G]I kept the spoilings for myself
[Am]'Til I had thirty ways of dying l[C]looking at me from the shelf
[Em]Cloud-parting smile I had, [G]a real good child I was
[Am]But this island's run by sharks with[C]with children's bones stuck in their jaws
[Em]Now the morning's filled with cokeys [G]tryna talk you through it all
[Am]Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their d[C]daddy Fianna Fáil?
[Em]And they say they love the land, but they d[G]don't feel it go to waste
Hold a mi[Am]mirror to the youth and t[C]they will only see their face
[Em]Makes flowers read like broadsheets, every y[G]young man wants to die
[Am]Say it to the man who profits, [C]and the xxxxxxx walks by
[Em]And the xxxxxxx walks by, and the x[G]xxxxxxx walks by
Say it to h[Am]him fifty times a[C]and still the xxxxxxx won't cry
Would I l[Em]lie?
Instrumental:

Chorus 3:
[Em]I love you, I love y[G]you, I told you I [Am]do
It's all I've ever f[C]felt, I've never felt so [Em]well
And if you don't k[G]know it, I wrote you this t[Am]tune
To be here lo[C]loving you when I'm in the t[Em]tomb
System in our he[G]hearts, you only had it before
[Am]Echo, echo, echo, [C]the lights, they go
[Em]The lights, they go, t[G]the lights, they go
Echo, e[Am]echo [C]
Verse 2:
[Em]Selling genocide and half-cut p[G]pride, I understand
I had to be th[Am]there from the start, I had to be t[C]the f*cking man
It was a c[Em]clamber of the life, I sucked the r[G]ring off every hand
Had 'em p[Am]plying me with drink, even [C]met with their demands
And I loved [Em]you like a penny loves the p[G]pocket of a priest
And I'll l[Am]love you 'til the grass around my gr[C]gravestone is deceased
And I'm he[Em]heading for the cokeys, I will tell them '[G]'bout it all
About the g[Am]gall of Fine Gael and the f[C]fail of Fianna Fáil
And now the fl[Em]flowers read like broadsheets, every y[G]young man wants to die
Say it [Am]to the man who profits, and the x[C]xxxxxxx walks by
And the xx[Em]xxxxxxx walks by, and the xx[G]xxxxxxx walks by
Say it to h[Am]him fifty times and still the xx[C]xxxxxxx won't cry
Would I l[Em]lie? [G] [Am] [C]
