Howard Moss - Outside The Pale (2013)
(C) We grew up in a small town just outside the pale
(F) 30 miles from Dublin riding with the rails
(C) The times they were the eighties when things were kinda tough
(F) Where jobs they weren't many we (G) tried from dawn till dusk
(C) The rain it kept on pouring, pouring down on us
(F) Drowning in the darkness it washed away the dust
(C) Our hearts they were afflicted and heavy with the load
(F) Still so dark and lonely it's a (G) story long been told
(F) Outside the pale, (G) without fail, (Am) they've ruined all of (F) us
(F) Outide the pale, (G) without fail, (F) they betrayed our (C) trust
(Middle 8)(F) The boom it started (G) coming and (Am) change was on the (F) cards
(F) Then people started (G) moving and (Am) swimming with the (F) sharks
(F) Greed to be the (G) downfall of the (Am) tiger as he (F) roared
(F) Then back towards the (G) old times like (C) before
(C) We left to move to Boston as my father did before
(F) We had nothing in our pockets just pennies for our thoughts
(C) So we went and packed our suitcase and headed for the plane
(F) Hoping for a new start and let go of this pain
(F) Outside the pale, (G) without fail, (Am) they've ruined all of (F) us
(F) Outide the pale, (G) without fail, (F) they betrayed our (C) trust
Outside the pale, a holy grail, they ruined all of us
Outside the pale, now so frail, they betrayed our trust
