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
