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
