[Verse]
     Em                            G                D
Auld Nick patron saint o' thieves, murderers and sailors
           Em                   C   D
Strike these shackles from me uh-huh
Em                                   G                 D
Slide the bolt from out the door and tear down all the wire
   C                              D
My baby's growin' cold and I'm on fire
 
    Em                                   G           D
The wind that whistles off the hills and carries her perfume
Em                         C            D
Carries too a lonely carol badly out of tune
Em                                      G              D
For just tonight beyond these walls I'd lay a mountain low
    C                       D
And sing to her like only I know how
 
[Chorus]
           Em                         G          D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
     Em                           C     D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
             Em                     G              D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
          C                 D
There's a light still burns in me

     Em                              G                D
Auld Nick patron saint o' merchants, pawnmen and the judges
    Em                                C                D
Who barter with the lives of men, the battlers and the bludgers
   Em                                   G                   D
Go haunt the dogs awhile they sleep and thrash 'em round to sense
           C                               D
There's to many good boys this side of the fence
 
[Chorus]
           Em                         G          D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
     Em                           C     D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
             Em                     G              D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
          C                 D
There's a light still burns in me

[Bridge]
                Am                         C
There's boys in here for liftin' gear from non-be-wary strangers
    G                               D
And newly minted ne'er-do-wells and them born with the dangers
    Am                               C
For livin' less than fruitful lives, toppin' less than faithful wives
  G                                  D
A broken line of fools that span the ages
 
[Chorus]
           Em                         G          D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
     Em                           C     D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
             Em                     G              D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
          C                 D
There's a light still burns in me

     Em                              G                 D
Auld Nick patron saint of fools from both sides of the law
      Em                             C                 D
For his sake wipe the dirty grin off that fat bastards jaw
   Em                          G                D
We're lovers of tradition & we might yet find a way
   C                              D
To hold them bloody keys come boxing day
 
[Chorus]
           Em                         G          D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
     Em                           C     D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
             Em                     G              D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
          C                 D
There's a light still burns in me
