Band: Dropkick Murphys Song: Finnegan's Wake Album: Do or Die Tabber: [email protected]
[Intro Verse] (clean) BG# Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street, a gentle Irishman - Mighty odd E He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet, BF# To rise in the world, he carried a hod, B You see he'd sort of a Trippling way: G# With love for a liquor poor Tim was born, E To help him on with his work each day, BF#B He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'...

[Verse 1] (ring out chords) BG# One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy, which made him shake, E Fell from the ladder and broke his skull, BF# So they carried Him home, his corpse to wake BG# Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed, EBF# A bottle of whiskey at his feet, and a gallon of Porter at his head
[Chorus] BG# And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner, EBF# Welt the floor, your trotters shake BG# Wasn't it the truth I told EBF# Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 2] (ring out) BG# His friends assembled at his wake, and Missus Finnegan called for lunch EBF# First they brought in tea and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch BG# Biddy O'Brien begged to cry, such a nice clean corpse that you ever did see EBF# Tim brother, hey why did you die? Arrah hold your gob see Patty Magee
[Chorus] BG# And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner, EBF# Welt the floor, your trotters shake BG# Wasn't it the truth I told EBF# Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Break] BEF#B Whoah,oh,oooh x2
[Verse 3] BG# Then Peggy O'Connor took up the job, Biddy she says ye're wrong I'm sure EBF# Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob and left her sprawling on the floor BG# Then the war did soon engage, Woman to Woman and Man to Man EBE Shillelah-law was all the rage, an' a row and a ruction soon began BG# Mickey Maloney raised his head, when a bottle Of whiskey flew at him, EF# It missed him falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim, BG# Tim revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed EF# Whirl your whisky around like blazes, "Tonamondeal, do ye think I'm dead?"
[Chorus] x2 BG# And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner, EBF# Welt the floor, your trotters shake BG# Wasn't it the truth I told EBF# Ye lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
