***If I Should Fall From Grace With God - Shane MacGowan
from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"
If I Should Fall From Grace With God - as perfomed by The Pogues
[A] [D] [A] [F#m]
[A] [D] [F#m] [E]
[A] [D] [A] [F#m]
[A] [D] [E] [A]
If I should [A] fall from grace with God
Where no [D] doctor can re[A]lieve me.
If I'm [A] buried 'neath the sod
But the [D] angels won't re[F#m]ceive me.
Let me [A] go, boys,
Let me go, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let me go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
This [A] land was always ours,
Was the [D] proud land of our [A] fathers.
It be[A]longs to us and them,
Not to [D] any of the [F#m] others.
Let them [A] go, boys,
Let them go, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let them go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [E] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A] [A]
[A] [E] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A] [A]
[A] [D] [E] [A] [A] [D] [E] [A]
[A] Bury me at sea
Where no [D] murdered ghost can [A] haunt me.
If I [A] rock upon the waves
Then no [D] corpse can lie up[F#m]on me.
It's coming up [A] threes, boys,
Coming up threes, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let them go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
If I should [A] fall from grace with God
Where no [D] doctor can re[A]lieve me.
If I'm [A] buried 'neath the sod
So the [D] angels won't re[F#m]ceive me.
Let me [A] go, boys,
Let me go, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let me go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [A] [D] [A] [A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [D] [A] [F#m]
[A] [D] [F#m] [E]
[A] [D] [A] [F#m]
