Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly

C F C G C
C
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Am
To glisten once again
F
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Am G
Have blown us all to hell
C
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Am
Forgotten freedom burns
F
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
Am G
to the bigot and the gun
F C
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
F G
To glisten once again
C F Am F
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
C G C
Singin' drunken lullabies
C
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Am
Turn a darker shade of red
F
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Am G
In their bloody gutless cell
C
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Am
Through these bars of men made steel
F
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Am G
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
F C
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
F G
To glisten once again
C F Am F
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
C G C
Singin' drunken lullabies
F G C
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
F G C
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
F G C F
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
F G C
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
F C
Though nothing left to gain
F G
But for the banshee that stole the grave
C F Am
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
C G C
Singin' drunken lullabies
C
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Am
Like memories seem to fade
F
No colour left but black and white
Am G
And soon will all turn grey
C
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Am
With lessons truly learnt
F
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Am G
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
