Cruel Dropkick Murphys claytonisgod Can't believe I'm the first one to upload tab for this- the song's great and it's not that hard to play. Intro G C Em Am Em G Verse G C We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak Em Am But love and affection this family afforded me G C Worries came early and often it seemed Em Am Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed G C Then compassion soon faded to chaos D G D As they did their best all the while Em C When circumstance outweighs intention D Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb Chorus G C They were cruel, they were ignorant D G D They were beauty, they were kind Em C They were patience, they were virtue D They were crazy, they were mine Intro again I was young and I thought I knew everything It's so hard to change a fool's mind When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw And you're full of inherited pride But some lessons come harder than others And some senses are harder to find Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell You'll still answer to those you defied They were cruel, they were ignorant They were beauty, they were kind They were patience, they were virtue They were crazy, they were mine C The heavens might sing out your praises G But the heavens won't pay for your lies C The sinners might pray for your problems D But the sinners won't look in your eye Just play the chorus They were crazy, they were mine They were cruel, they were ignorant They were beauty, they were kind They were patience, they were virtue They were crazy, they were mine G and C until the end The heavens might sing out your praises But the heavens won't pray for your lies The sinners might pay for your problems But the sinner won't look in your eye
