Bryan McFadden - Irish Song

[ intro ] C

C
i was born in the heart of dublin
F
to the holy book of rules
G C
made get on our knees every sunday with the other fools

C
we were warped by the christian brothers
F
in the cell blocks at our schools
G
get a handprint on your skin
C
before you break their rules

[ bridge ]
Am Em
go hit me now
F G
that i’m twice your size
Am Em
brushed off the accusations
Dm G
and bowed before your lies

[ reff ]
C
this is the city that raised me
Am
with the religion they gave me
Dm G
now i’m old enough to know my own mind
C
but it was leaving that saved me
Am
i seen so much that has changed me
F G
just break with your past
Am Em
feed your own mind
Dm G C
this irish son has moved with the times

C
weddings deaths or baptizing children
F
that’s my debt paid to the church
G
i don’t need that kind of salvation

Dm G
and force me to believe
