Biography:
Dropkick Murphys is a punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, the band made a name for itself because of its relentless touring and for its annual St. Patrick's Day weekend shows in Boston. The band's songs often deal with Celtic influences, and the working-class environment in which the band members grew up.
The band put out a series of EPs and was signed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.

[Intro Verse] (clean)
B G#
Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street, a gentle Irishman - Mighty odd
E
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet,
B F#
To rise in the world, he carried a hod,
B
You see he'd sort of a Trippling way:
G#
With love for a liquor poor Tim was born,
E
To help him on with his work each day,
B F# B
He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'...
[Intro Riff]

[Verse 1] (ring out chords)
B G#
One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy, which made him shake,
E
Fell from the ladder and broke his skull,
B F#
So they carried Him home, his corpse to wake
B G#
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed,
E B F#
A bottle of whiskey at his feet, and a gallon of Porter at his head
[Chorus]
B G#
And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner,
E B F#
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
B G#
Wasn't it the truth I told
E B F#
Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 2] (ring out)
B G#
His friends assembled at his wake, and Missus Finnegan called for lunch
E B F#
First they brought in tea and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
B G#
Biddy O'Brien begged to cry, such a nice clean corpse that you ever did see
E B F#
Tim brother, hey why did you die? Arrah hold your gob see Patty Magee
[Chorus]
B G#
And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner,
E B F#
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
B G#
Wasn't it the truth I told
E B F#
Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Break]
B E F# B
Whoah,oh,oooh x2
[Verse 3]
B G#
Then Peggy O'Connor took up the job, Biddy she says ye're wrong I'm sure
E B F#
Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob and left her sprawling on the floor
B G#
Then the war did soon engage, Woman to Woman and Man to Man
E B E
Shillelah-law was all the rage, an' a row and a ruction soon began
B G#
Mickey Maloney raised his head, when a bottle Of whiskey flew at him,
E F#
It missed him falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim,
B G#
Tim revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed
E F#
Whirl your whisky around like blazes, "Tonamondeal, do ye think I'm dead?"
[Chorus] x2
B G#
And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner,
E B F#
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
B G#
Wasn't it the truth I told
E B F#
Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
