verse 1 

      C 
I was lured by the rocking horse 
C 
Sweets and the bualadh bos 
F                    C 
Fifty wild boys to a room 
Am                        G                      C 
Sing lamh, lamh eile, the dish ran away with the spoon 
C 
Black shoes and stockings for those who say don't 
F                     C 
Blue is the colour outside 
Am         
God made the world 
    G                         C 
The snake tempted Eve and she died 
Em                      Am 
Wild Christian brothers sharpening their leathers 
G                             C 
Learn it by heart, that's the rule 
C                 G                      C 
All I remember is dreading September and school 


         G                     C 
And they made me for better or worse 
    F           C         Am            D 
The fool that I am or the wise man I'll be 
         G                          C 
And they gave me their blessings or curse 
   F            C           Am 
It wasn't their fault I was me ... 
G                    C 
Not the one that you see 



verse 2 

    C 
The priest in confession condemns my obsession 
     F                        C 
With thoughts that I do not invite 
Am 
I mumble and stutter 
G 
He slams down the shutter 
C 
Goodnight - (Good night to you too, Father) 
C 
Stainless as steel 
                     C 
Lord, you know how I feel 
        F                         C 
Someone shoot me while my soul is clear 
  Am 
I don't think I'll last 
       G                  C 
But my vow to abstain was sincere 
Em                 Am 
Arch-confraternity men to the fight 
G                         C 
Raise up your banners on high 
Am 
Searching for grace 
G                        C 
Securing my place when I die 


         G                     C 
And they made me for better or worse 
    F           C         Am            D 
The fool that I am or the wise man I'll be 
         G                          C 
And they gave me their blessings or curse 
   F            C           Am 
It wasn't their fault I was me ... 
G                    C 
Not the one that you see 


Bridge 

(This part is half-spoken, half-sung - you'll just need to listen to the song.) 
G 
Oh God, he kept a very close eye on me 
C 
Hung round my bed in the darkness, he spied on me 
F 
Caught me in the long grass so often, he died on me.... 

verse 3 

C 
Ballrooms of romance in Salthill or Mallow 
F                              C 
I stood like John Wayne by the wall 
Am                       G                       C 
Lined up like cattle, we waited to do battle and fall 
C 
Ah you can't wine and dine her in an old Morris Minor 

   F                       C 
So ask her before it's too late 
  Am                      G                        C 
I danced on girls' toes - accepted rejection as my fate 
Em                       Am 
Drink was my saviour, it made me much braver 
    G                      C 
But I couldn't hold it too well 
   Am                      G                       C 
I slipped on the coach and ruined my approach as I fell 


         G                     C 
And they made me for better or worse 
    F           C         Am            D 
The fool that I am or the wise man I'll be 
         G                          C 
And they gave me their blessings or curse 
   F            C           Am 
It wasn't their fault I was me ... 
G                    C 
Not the one that you see
