[Chorus 1]
D/F# Em                  G                   
………I love you, I love you, I told you I do
Am                  C                    D/F# Em                       
It’s all I’ve ever felt, I’ve never felt so well
                   G                        Am 
And if you don’t know it, I wrote you this tune
            C                 D/F#     Em       
To be here loving you when I’m in the tomb
                  G                        Am
I’ve eddied the heart now, from Dublin to Paris
                  C                   D/F# Em 
And if there was sunshine, it was never on me
               G                          Am   C
So close, the rain, so pronounced is the pain….
 
Yeah

[Chorus 2]
D/F#    Em            G                     Am
..Well, I love you, imagine a world without you
                C               D/F# Em
It’s only ever you, I only think of you
                 G                    Am
And if it’s a blessing, I want it for you
                  C                D/F# Em  
If I must have a future, I want to with you
                G                        Am
Syst?m in our hearts, you only had it before
                   C                D/F#     Em
You only op?n the window, never open up the door
                   G                   Am  C
And I love you, I love you, told you I do…..

[Verse 1]
D/F#   Em                             G   
……Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
         Am                                C     
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the ******* man
D/F#      Em                                G   
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
         Am                         C  
Had ’em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
D/F#       Em                            G    
When the cherries lined up, I kept the spoilings for myself
            Am                          C      
‘Til I had thirty ways of dying looking at me from the shelf
D/F#   Em                           G
Cloud-parting smile I had, a real good child I was
          Am                                    C  
But this island’s run by sharks with children’s bones stuck in their jaws
D/F#     Em                                 G  
Now the morning’s filled with cokeys tryna talk you through it all
          Am                           C 
Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their daddy Fianna Fáil?
D/F#     Em                                      G  
And they say they love the land, but they don’t feel it Go to waste
        Am                                C   
Hold a mirror to the youth and they will only see their face
D/F#   Em                                    G 
Makes flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
       Am                               C  
Say it to the man who profits, and the bastard walks by
D/F#     Em                         G 
And the bastard walks by, and the bastard walks by
       Am                                C  
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won’t cry
D/F#    Em   G  Am  C
Would I lie?………..

[Chorus 3]
D/F# Em               G                    Am
……I love you, I love you, I told you I do
                    C                    D/F# Em   
It’s all I’ve ever felt, I’ve never felt so well
                   G                        Am 
And if you don’t know it, I wrote you this tune
            C                 D/F#     Em 
To be here loving you when I’m in the tomb
                G                        Am
System in our hearts, you only had it before
              C               D/F# Em    
Echo, echo, echo, the lights, they go
                           G 
The lights, they go, the lights, they go
       Am  C
Echo, echo….

[Verse 2]
D/F# Em                                 G  
……..Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
         Am                                C  
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the ******* man
D/F#       Em                                G      
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
          Am                        C  
Had ’em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
D/F#   Em                               G         
And I loved you like a penny loves the pocket of a priest
          Am                                 C  
And I’ll love you ’til the grass around my gravestone is deceased
D/F#     Em                             G   
And I’m heading for the cokeys, I will tell them ’bout it all
           Am                         C   
About the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil
D/F#         Em                                    F          
And now the flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
       Am                               C     
Say it to the man who profits, and the bastard walks by
D/F#     Em                         G
And the bastard walks by, and the bastard walks by
       Am                                C 
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won’t cry
D/F#     Em  G  Am  C
Would I lie?……….
