Chords and lyrics for Whiskey Youre The Devil by Pogues

Now brave boys we’re on the march

Off to Portugal and Spain

Drums A-beating, banners A-waving

The devil a-home will come tonight

La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah

Me tither-y-eye dum da

Me right fol tur-a ladee

Oh, there’s whiskey in the jar

Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray

O’er hills and mountains into Amerikay

Your sweetness from the bleachner You’re spunkier than tea,

Ah, whiskey you’re me darlin?, drunk or so-ber

Waltzing Matilda

Posted on March 20, 2012 by admin

Chords and lyrics for Waltzing Matilda by Pogues

 

When I was a  

D 

young man, I  

A 

carried my pack.

 

And I lived the free  

E 

life, of a  

A 

rover.

 

>From the

E 

Murray’s 

 

green

D 

basin,

 

To the  

A 

dusty 

 

outback,

 

I waltzed my  

E 

matilda all  

A 

over.

 

Then in 19

E 

15, my  

D 

country said  

A 

“son”

 

“It’s t

E 

ime to stop  

D 

rambling,”

 

“Cos there’s  

A 

work to be done.”

 

So they gave me a t

D 

in 

 

hat,

 

And they gave me a  

A 

gun,

 

And they sent me  

E 

away to the w

A 

ar.

 

And the band played W

D 

altzing 

 

M

A 

atilda,

 

As we sailed a

D 

way from the  

E 

quay.

 

And am

D 

idst all the cheers,

 

And the s

A 

houts and the tears,

 

We sailed off for  

E 

Galipoli

A 

 

How well I  

D 

remember that  

A 

terrible 

 

day,

 

when the blood stained the  

E 

sand and the  

A 

water.

 

And h

E 

ow in that  

D 

hell

 

that they  

A 

called Souvla Bay

 

We were butchered like  

E 

lambs at the  

A 

slaughter.

 

Johnny  

E 

Turkey was  

D 

ready, He’d  

A 

primed himself well.

 

He  

E 

showered us with  

D 

bullets,

 

And he  

A 

rained us with shells.

 

And in five minutes  

D 

flat,

 

he’d blown  

A 

us all to hell.

 

Nearly  

E 

blew us right back to  

A 

Australia.

 

And the band played  

D 

Waltzing 

 

 

A 

Matilda,

 

As we stopped to  

D 

bury our  

E 

slain.

 

And  

D 

we buried ours

 

and the  

A 

Turks buried theirs,

 

And it started all  

E 

over 

 

 

A 

again.

 

Now those who were  

D 

living, Did their  

A 

best to survive,

 

In that  

E 

mad world of guts, blood, and  

A 

fire.

 

And for  

E 

seven long  

D 

weeks,

 

I  

A 

kept myself alive,

 

As the  

E 

corpses around me piled  

A 

higher.

 

Then a  

E 

big Turkish  

D 

shell, Knocked me  

A 

arse over tit.

 

And  

E 

when I  

D 

awoke

 

in my ho

A 

spital 

 

bed,

 

And saw what it had  

D 

done,

 

Christ I  

A 

wished I was dead.

 

Never  

E 

knew there were worse things than  

A 

dying.

 

And no more I’ll go  

D 

Waltzing 

 

 

A 

Matilda,

 

To the green bushes  

D 

so far and  

E 

near.

 

For to  

D 

hang tent and pegs

 

A  

A 

man needs two legs.

 

No more Waltzing  

E 

Matilda for  

A 

me.

 

So they collected the  

D 

crippled, The  

A 

wounded and maimed,

 

And they sent us back  

E 

home to  

A 

Australia.

 

The  

E 

legless, the  

D 

armless,

 

the  

A 

blind and insane.

 

Those  

E 

proud wounded heroes of  

A 

Souvla

 

And  

E 

as our ship  

D 

pulled into  

A 

Circular 

 

Quay

 

I  

E 

looked at the  

D 

place

 

where my  

A 

legs used to be.

 

And thank Christ, there was  

D 

nobody

A 

waiting for me,

 

To  

E 

grieve and to mourn and to  

A 

pity.

 

And the band played  

D 

Waltzing 

 

 

A 

Matilda,

 

As they carried us  

D 

down the gang

E 

way.

 

But  

D 

nobody 

 

cheered,

 

They  

A 

just stood and stared,

 

And they  

E 

turned their faces  

A 

away.

 

And now every  

D 

April, I  

A 

sit on my porch,

 

And I  

E 

watch the parades pass  

A 

before 

 

me.

 

I  

E 

see my old  

D 

comrades,

 

How  

A 

proudly they march.

 

Re

E 

living the dreams of past  

A 

glory.

 

I  

E 

see the old  

D 

men, all  

A 

twisted and torn.

 

The  

E 

forgotten 

 

 

D 

heroes

 

of a  

A 

forgotten 

 

war.

 

And the young people  

D 

ask 

 

me,

 

What are  

A 

they marching for?

 

And  

E 

I ask my self the same  

A 

question.

 

And the band plays  

D 

Waltzing 

 

 

A 

Matilda,

 

And the old men still  

D 

answer the  

E 

call.

 

But  

D 

year after year,

 

Their  

A 

numbers get fewer,

 

Someday no-one will  

E 

march there  

A 

at 

 

all.

 

A 

Waltzing Matilda,  

D 

Waltzing 

 

Matilda

A 

Who’ll come a waltzing matilda with

E 

me?

G 

I gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds

 

With the saints And the saviours With the  

D 

maggots and the  

G 

gods

G 

I cursed the things they showed me I could never see again

 

And the howling of the wind at night I

D 

wrote upon the

rain

 

G 

I found the thing For which I prayed

 

With a heart of  

C 

stone And now I
