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!
Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins
Interlude
AmAmAmDAmAmEAm
Verse 1 (very fast strumming)
D So the years rolled by and several died GD And left us somewhat reelin' D Johnny strummed his Tommy gun AD Left blastin' through the ceiling D So what became of rebels
Who sang for you and me DG Grapplin' with their demons AD In the search for liberty
Verse 2
D Suffers who suffer all GD Can swim upon the desert D Where avarice have ravaged all AD In spite of good intentions D Don't fill your mouth with gluttony
For pride will surely swell D| G| But nothing's unforgiven A| D| in the four corners of hell
Chorus
DG Sail away where no ball and chain DA Can keep us from the roarin' waves DG Together undivided AD but forever we'll be free DG So sail away aboard our rig DA The moon is full and so are we DG We're seven drunken pirates AD We're the seven deadly sins DG We're seven drunken pirates AD| We're the seven deadly sins
Interlude
AmAmAmDAmAmEAm
Verse 3
D Envy and its evil twin GD It crept in bed with slander D Idiots they gave advice AD But sloth it gave no answer D Anger kills the human soul
With butter tales of lust D| G| While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' A| D| On the legs they never trust
Chorus
DG Sail away where no ball and chain DA Can keep us from the roarin' waves DG Together undivided AD but forever we'll be free DG So sail away aboard our rig DA The moon is full and so are we DG We're seven drunken pirates AD We're the seven deadly sins DG We're seven drunken pirates AD| We're the seven deadly sins

FC But It's the only life we'll know EmAm Blagards to the bone C So don't wreck yourself G Take an honest grip FC For there's more tales beyond the shore
D~~ let ring

Verse without guitar at first
Ah the years rolled by and several died And left us somewhat reelin' In and out came crawlin' out And spewed upon the ceiling So what became of rebels That sang for you and me D| G| Grapplin' with their demons A| D| In the search for liberty
Out-Chorus
DG Sail away where no ball and chain DA Can keep us from the roarin' waves DG Together undivided AD but forever we'll be free DG So sail away aboard our rig DA The moon is full and so are we DG We're seven drunken pirates AD We're the seven deadly sins
