 C C F C F C G G 2x

F             C
 Whistles the wind
F           C
 Blowin' my way
F            C                  G
 Sweepin' me back, back here to stay
F               C
 Can winners be losers?
F                    C
 Runnin' on the same track
F                    C                G
 While some head for glory, others we crash
        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
F        C
 My isolation
F                       C
 Now there's a sobering thought
F          C                    G
 A minute alone, a lifetime too long
F                     C
 See the face in this mirror
F                 C
 So pale it could crack
F            C                    G
 Desperately wantin' the color it lacks
        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
       F
So you drank with the lost souls
    C
For too many years
F                        C
Tied to their ankles now crippled with fear
F                           Am
Never been righteous though seldom were wrong
G
Life's only life with you in this song
Am C F G 2x
F                       C
 Now there's an ocean between
F                      C
 Where I am and where I want to be
F                  C
 So you prayers in doubt
              G
Doubt not for me
        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
        C                  F            C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
    F         C               G
The beauty in life where's it gone
    C                         F      C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
    F         C               G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
F             C
 Whistles the wind
F             C
 Whistles the wind
F             C
 Whistles the wind
F             C
 Whistles the wind
              F
Though you'll find your way out
            C
But there's no goin' now
      F
Every woman and child
          C
Drags you down for the dive
         F
It's not safe being free
           Am
Can't give back what you feel
               G                        C
He said you'll always be in heaven with me

Flogging Molly Drunken Lullabies Testo Lyrics Accordi Chords

Verse:
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Em                   D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
Em                   D
to the bigot and the gun

C                               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
G        C            Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Em
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
Em                      D
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Em
Through these bars of men made steel
C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Em                              D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

C              D         G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught
C              D      G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
C         D          G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
C               G
Though nothing left to gain
C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Em
Like memories seem to fade
C
No colour left but black and white
Em                     D
And soon will all turn grey
G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
Em
With lessons truly learnt
C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Em                     D
Shall beat a new found flame

C                       G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C                D
To glisten once again
G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
G       C             Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
G       D    G
Singin' drunken lullabies
