The Molly Maguires

   C              G
     Make way for the Molly Maguires,
            F               G                C
     they're drinkers, they're liars but they're men.
                    G
     Make way for the Molly Maguires,
        F              G            C
     you'll never see the likes of them again.

           Am ~                C
     Down the mines no sunlight shines,
                                   Am
    those pits they're as black as hell.
       C                   F
    In mud and slime they do their time,
           C      G       C
    it's Paddy's prison cell.
              Am                  Em
    And they curse the day they travelled far,
         F                       G
    and drown their tears with a jar. So.... + CHORUS


            Am ~                   C
    Backs will break and muscles ache
                                   Am
    down there there's no time to dream
         C              F
   of fields a'far, a woman's arm,
         C         G     C
    just dig that bloody seam.
                 Am                 Em
    Though they drain their bodies under ground,
           F                         G
    Who dares to push them around......so
