The Molly Maguires


CHORUS

-5   -5  6   -6  7  6   6 6 
Make way for the Molly Maguires

  7     -8 -8     7 -8     7    7   -6      7  (-8 7 -8 7 -6 6 -5)
They're drinkers they're lyers but they're men

-5   -5   6  -6   7 6   6 6 
Make way for the Molly Maguires

  7    -8 -8  -8  7   -8   7   -6  6 -5
You'll never see the likes of them again


FIRST VERSE

(-6 sustained as an interlude)

 -4   5   -5   6   -6 7     7 
Down the mines no sunlight shines

 -8    7    -6      -5    6  -4 
Those pits they're black as hell

5  -5   6   -6    7   -8  -9    -9  
In mud and slime they do their time      

-8    7 -6    6 -5   -5 
It's Paddy's prison cell

-6    7   -8    8  -9   8    -8  7    -6
And they curse the day they travelled far

 7    -8     8    -9    8  -8  7
Then drown their tears with a jar

 So
(-6)


REPEAT CHORUS

SECOND VERSE

 -4     5   -5    6   -6 7    7 
Backs will break and muscles ache

 -8    7     -6    -5   6  -5  -4 
Down there there's no time to dream

5   -5     6   -6   7 -8 -9  -9 
Of fields and farms a womans arm

-8    7   -6   6 -5   -5 
Just dig that bloody seam

  -6    7   -8     8    -9 8   -8  7 -6
Though they drain their bodies underground

  7     -8   8  -9   8   -8 7
Who'll dare to push them around

 So
(-6)
