"Ol' Begger's Bush"
By: Flogging Molly
Tabbed by: Shane Cash
[Intro]
G/D/C D/G
[VERSE 1]
G
Stuck on limbo bridge
D
Where below me ol' Nick grins
C G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
G
Gets up off his chair
D
Spins a jig to my despair
C D G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
G
Underneath the bush
D
Lay a begger out of luck
C G
On his lips was a taste he forgets
G
His hopes are filled with sand
D
That he watched fall through his hand
C D G
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
[CHORUS]
D G
So go and bow your head and weep
C D G
For your world won't change while you sleep
D G
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
C D Em
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
C D G
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
[VERSE 2]
G
Fertile Mrs. Moore
D
Had thirteen kids but still looked good
C G
Til' her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
G
She never read a book
D
But by Christ she understood
C D G
That the meanin' of life starts in bed
[Chorus]
[SOLO]
D/G/C D/G (x2)
[VERSE 3]
G
Killer Kilbain
D
Beat me senseless everyday
C G
I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone
G
Where I'll dance upon his grave
D
For all the madness I now crave
C D G
While the scars that remain are still a curse
G
Stuck on limbo bridge
D
Where below me ol' Nick grins
C G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
G
Gets up off his chair
D
Spins a jig to my despair
C D G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
C D G
Yeah, he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
[LAST CHORUS]
D G
So go and bow your head and weep
C D G
For your world won't change while you sleep
D G
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
C D Em
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
C D Em
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
C D Em
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
C D G
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
