Drunken Lullabies Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Flogging Molly
OK. So after some playing around I've finally figured it out. The tabs on this site come close
but not quite. This is how I play it in my band's cover.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

--

Intro:

G-C-G-D

G-C-G-D-G   The C chords are not held for long. You can hear it in the song if you listen.


Verse:
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Em                   D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
Em                   D
to the bigot and the gun

C                               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
         G        C            Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Em                      D
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Em                              D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

        C              D         G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
   C              D      G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
      C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
         C         D          G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
       C               G
Though nothing left to gain
            C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em
Like memories seem to fade
C
No colour left but black and white
Em                     D
And soon will all turn grey
G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em
With lessons truly learnt
C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Em                     D
Shall beat a new found flame


C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
         G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
        G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
