Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule

intro : Bm D A Bm x4

then Bm

( there is no guitar in this first part but if you wanted to play it the chords would be )

Bm D A Bm
i want to believe in myself once again
A Bm
so i dream of a man whose hopes never end
Bm D A Bm
to kiss with a girl who’s as lovely as you
A Bm
i’d give you my heart , if you gave me the truth

D A
and for every tear that is lost from an eye
F#m Bm
i’d dig me a well where no man could destroy
D A
i want to believe in a freedom that’s bold
F#m F#m
but all i remember is the freedom of old ( hey! )

Bm D A Bm
well i lost me a wife , so i found me a plane
A Bm
flew all the way to california
Bm D A Bm
this mess in my head is a mess getting out
A Bm
ya drink too much coffee , i drink too much stout

D A
but after a while , when my mouth’s not so dry
F#m Bm
i’ll dance up a storm , sure life’s looking fine
D A
but as darkness falls , i return to my bed
F#m Bm
don’t ask me more questions , don’t fxxk with my head

Bm D A Bm
i’ve been down in this world , down and almost broken
Bm D A Bm
like thousands of people , left standing in their shoe
Bm D A Bm
i’ve been down in this world , down and almost broken
Bm D A Bm
as thousands they grieve , as the black friday rule
Bm D A Bm
as thousands they grieve , as the black friday rule

( if you want the chords during the solo its the same as the chorus , if you want the
look elsewhere or figure it our yourself )

Bm D A Bm
the buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
A Bm
oh mother of jesus , i feel pretty ill
Bm D A Bm
i want to go home where my feet both feel safe
A Bm
but there ain’t no jobs in the old free state
D A
so i must remain in my new adopted land
F#m Bm
i’m doing the best , hell i’m doin’ all i can
D A
so next time you see me , don’t ask for my name
A A A
name! ame! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
F#m

i Am the king and sure long may i reign
