Then, some chords:

Now, a guitar:

      a ----------------------------
      e ----------------------------
chords:        F5            Eb5
Time for some singing:
        A5 F5              Eb5                         F5    Eb5
      hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
        A5 F5          Eb5                       F5    Eb5
      carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm

      (etc.)
                C5             F5       Bb5
      And you listen with a tear in your eye
                 C5           F5                Bb5
       to their hopes and betrayels and your only reply

      is Slainte mhath.

The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:
        F5                Eb5                   D5  F5     Eb5
      Princes in exile raising the standard rambuie 
          F5                      Eb5                F5     Eb5
      Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns

      (etc.)
                 Ab5
      Take it away
                 Bb5
      Take it away
                 C5
      Take it away
                 Bb5
      Take it away, take it away
                 C5
      Take it away, take it away
                 C5     Bb5 F5
      Take me away!
      C5 Bb5 F5

                 C5
      From the dream on a the barbed wire 
                                Bb5      F5
            at Flanders and Bilston Glen
               C5
      From a Clydeside that rusts
                                     Bb5      F5  
            from the tears of its broken men
