***The Broad Majestic Shannon - by Shane MacGowan
from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"
Note: I have added some fills that I play on guitar that duplicate other
instruments on the song. I also added the bridge that was missing.

D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) BmThere (x24432@1)was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
D (xx0232@1) GYou (320003@1)sang me a song as pure as the breeze
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) Aon (x02220@1)a road leading up Glenaveigh
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) BmWhere (x24432@1)young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
D (xx0232@1) GHeard (320003@1)the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone

D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) AThey're (x02220@1)all gone, gone in the years babe
D G D Bm D G A D (with Main Riff)
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

So I walked as day was dawning
