***Down in the Ground Where the dead Men Go - by Shane MacGowan from the albums "Red Roses For Me" Down in the Ground Where the dead Men Go - as perfomed by The Pogues This song is pretty simple. Play a C over the verse and an Am over the chorus. Here is the melody: e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|-----------0-2-0-2-0---| A|---0-2-3-3-----------3-| E|-3---------------------| During the intro the guitar alternates between four bars of C and four bars of Am. For the other melody parts I believe the guitar just plays C straight through. ***Version 2*** by Kristoffer Ekman Intro ||:C |C |Am |Am |C |C |Am |Am :|| |C |C || CHello (x32010@1)boys I've been away on a bit of a holiday CTo (x32010@1)the land where the rivers freely flow and the cattle roam on the wild callagh CWalking (x32010@1)home three parts pissed I stumbled and fell in the morning mist CI (x32010@1)fell and rolled in the hungry grass that tells the tale of a terrible past CI (x32010@1)screamed and ran and dreamt I fell down in the depths of a freezing hell CThe (x32010@1)men coming off of their boats and say bouncing tooth and the skull that died CBring (x32010@1)out those ones for the better days gonna wrap me up and take me away CFour (x32010@1)million people starved to death could smell the curse on their dying breath CWhere (x32010@1)no one ever wants to go AmDown (x02210@1)in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go AmDown (x02210@1)in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go To hell which is circular all around down in the belly of the big cold ground The moving shadows were everywhere the very trees seemed to bend and stare I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore screamed and ran till I could run no more Over the hill and across the moor I ran in the house and slammed the door What the hell's that over there a petrifying corpse sitting in that chair Where no one ever wants to go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Inst |C |C |Am |Am |C |C |Am |Am || Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home from bar to bar like a ghost I roamed I can't forget those things I saw been down with the devil in the Dalling Road One place I don't want to go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go Outro ||:C |C |Am |Am |C |C |Am |Am :|| ||:C |C |Am |Am |C |C |Am |Am :||
