Mccormacks Wall Chords

(ver. 1)
Glen Hansard
           C                F
Well, I've not been honest, darlin',
         G                    Am
No, I've not been straight at all.
        C        F
Well, I beg your pardon;
             G                  F
The night we jumped McCormack's Wall
         C             F
I was so happy just to be with you
                  G           Am
I would have said anything at all.
            C                
Now I could scream your name
         F
Till you do the same,
      G              F
But I know you won't respond


     G
Well, here we are.
       F
What's there to do?
       C   F   G   Am
La din da...
       C   F 
La din da...
          G               F
I'm gonna ride black river


         C           F
With the lark in the morning
        G            Am
And the dew upon the dawn,
        C              F
Well, a-home we came a-crawling
         G            F
With our sickness and our song
    C          F
For all guitar makers;
        G                 Am
for the prisoners and the law;
           C         F
And to the fine wine drinkers
    G                   F
Who drank their bellies raw;
       C              F
And to all the good samaritans,
        G               Am
Whoever found us in the dark;
       C               
And to all who've been
   F
Or come between
    G             F
The lovers in the park;
       C                    F
And to all the O Diomasaigh singers
           G             Am
With their roots in holy ground.
       C              F
And forgiveness still lingers
       G               F
In the bells above the town.


      G
Well, here we are.
       F
What's there to do?
       C   F   G   Am
La din da...
       C   F 
La din da...
          G               F
I'm gonna ride black river
       C   F   G   Am
La din da...
       C   F 
La din da...
          G               F
I'm gonna ride black river

           C            F
Well, this is a song of drinking,
          G                Am
And for a drink it will be sung,
         C                       F
And I'll sing it right, and I'll say goodnight —
               G               F
Unless they're serving another one
