The Shankhill Butchers are tonight, you better shut your windows tight.

They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives, and taking all their
whiskey by the pint.
CHORUS
Am Fm G Am Am
And everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words, oh wicked winds
Fm G Am Am Fm
will blow the ribbons from your curls. Everybody knows, everybody shake, the

Shankhill Butcher's gonna catch you away

Am Fm E
They used to be just like me and you, they used to be sweet little boys. But

something went horribly askew, now killing is their only source of joy.
CHORUS AGAIN
VERSE 3
Am Fm E
The Shankhill Butchers are tonight, they're waiting in the dead of night.
Am Fm E
They're picking at their fingers with their knives, and cleaning off their
cleavers on their thighs.
CHORUS
E
The Shankhill Butcher's gonna cut you
E
The SHankhill Butcher's gonna catch you
Am-C
Away
Am-C
Away
Am-C
Away
