Flogging Molly nacieron en una de las muchas tabernas de los nietos de los emigrantes irlandeses de principios del siglo pasado que huyeron de la Gran Hambruna que mató a un millón de personas e hizo emigrar a otro millón y medio. Muy influenciados por la música de sus antepasados, comenzaron a tocar en la taberna de Molly Malones, en Los Angeles, dotando al folk irlandés de bandas como The Dubliners de otro tipo de música, más parecido a The Pogues.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
i know the intro and verses are correct because i was just saw Molly live and i watched dave play it on his acoustic
intro: |DGBmGA| NOTE: the D and Bm are quick changes. one strum would do it
DGA Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school DGA Where the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten fool DGA Now wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken rule BmG As equal only deep is now the word DA The lesson's not the answer you once heard
DAG "Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down" DAG She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground DAG Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you BmG And the darkness that you left is overstepped aside DA Will disappear in clouds, the sun arrives
N.C. DGBmGADGBmGA Within a mile of home within a mile of home"
DGA Oh worry, oh my worry has it been that long? DGA The whistle keeps on blowing but the chill's all gone DGA His empty frame cannot explain, there's nothing left inside BmG So sing to me a song from yesterday DA When laughter filled the tears that we now make
DAG "Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down" DAG She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground DAG Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you BmG If only you had seen what I now see DA And turned the corner where you would of been
N.C. DGBmGADGBmGA Within a mile of home within a mile of home"
BmGA So sing to me, sing me a song, a song from yesterday BmG And when the laughter turned these tears before the promises, A then they'll slip away BmG Don't turn your back on me, dont't turn your back on me, don't A ever let me down BmG Don't turn your back on me, dont't turn your back on me, don't A ever let me down DG We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of A home DG We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of A home DG We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of A home DG We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of A home

i'm not positive about the ending. i know the final chord is an A, and a Bm and G sound right. if not, the song's in the key of D like a bunch of other molly songs, so mess around with those chords to fix as needed. other than that, the 'intro' above isn't the first guitar you hear, it's the guitar part you hear accompanied by the accordion and violin.
