Then, some chords:

      D C        Am G      (4 times)


Now, a guitar:

      e ----------------------------
      b -4-3-4---------4-3-4------6-
      g --------3-5-3---------3-5---      (repeat this forever and ever)
      d ----------------------------
      a ----------------------------
      e ----------------------------
chords:        F            Eb
Time for some singing:
        A F              Eb                         F    Eb
      hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
        A F          Eb                       F    Eb
      carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm

      (etc.)
                C             F       Bb
      And you listen with a tear in your eye
                 C           F                Bb
       to their hopes and betrayels and your only reply

      is Slainte mhath.

The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:
        F                Eb                   D  F     Eb
      Princes in exile raising the standard rambuie 
          F                      Eb                F     Eb
      Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns

      (etc.)
                 Ab
      Take it away
                 Bb
      Take it away
                 Csus4
      Take it away
                 Bbsus4
      Take it away, take it away
                 Csus4/7
      Take it away, take it away
                 C     Bb F
      Take me away!
      C Bb F

                 C
      From the dream on a the barbed wire 
                                Bb      F
            at Flanders and Bilston Glen
               C
      From a Clydeside that rusts
                                     Bb      F  
            from the tears of its broken men
