Biography:
"New York and Irish music have a long and storied history together, a collision of two cultures that results in bedlam, beauty, and alot in between. Shilelagh Law embodies all that is New York Irish Music: old songs, new songs, jigs, reels, dancing, weeping, lots of laughter, plenty of drinks, and the inevitable visit to the local diner at 5 a.m. By interpreting traditional Irish Music through the filter of the urban experience, Shilelagh Law helps to define the Irish-American experience that is such a big part of New York town."

G
The roar of the crowd from Gaelic Park
Em
underage guinness at the terminal bar
D
the lights on broadway never looked so fine
C D
as they do underneath the one and nine
Em
Well the din of the subway cars
C
sounds like a heavenly choir

and the shower of sparks they bring
C D
shine like angels' wings
Em
and the writing on the concrete walls
G
is all I need
C
to lead me to salvation
D G
underneath the one and nine
G
jam packed nights at sam mcguire's
Em
that's where I first caught the fire
D
I jumped on stage, sang dirty old town
C D
it broke my heart when that joint closed down
Em
Well the din of the subway cars
C
sounds like a heavenly choir
Em
and the shower of sparks they bring
C D
shine like angels' wings
Em
and the writing on the concrete walls
G
is all I need
C
to lead me to salvation
D G
underneath the one and nine
*Not sure of the chords, if you know them, let me know*
I met my love by the gas works wall
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
It's a Dirty old town
It's a Dirty old town
G
its a world of troubles
I sure had some
Em
I don't know where I'm going
but I know where I'm from
D
I'm from new york town, the very best part
C D
with the guts and the grit and the love and the heart
G(Hold)
so when my time has finally come
G Em(Hold)
buy me one last token for one last run
Em D(Hold)
with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine
C
spread my ashes neath the one and nine

242nd Street, I'm almost home
