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: Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat Though his clothes are soiled and black, He's a big, strong man with a childs mind, Don't you take his booze away!
C
Verse 1: C He's been at it for years drinkin' balls and beer, FC He's a hero to most he meets, FC But inside he cries black swollen eyes GFC This man he sheds no tears C Now his wife & kids sing a different tune FC As they worry about their daddy dyin', FC But this arrogant fool breaks every rule GFC It'll be nothing but pride that kills him
Chorus: FC Could he listen no he won't that's all she wrote GC He'll be dead before the daylight shines FC But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong GFC Might keep this fool from dying
Verse 2: C He's a legend in the bar with every scar FC Fights a thousand bigger men, FC But now he fights and loses got all the bruises GFC Will someone please step in? C Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart FC He keeps climbing back into the ring FC In the low down circles where he holds his court GFC This man he once was king
