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 When I get hurt Bridge 2 Am Em Don't fill my head with sermons Dm G And force me to believe Ulangi Reff Middle D Our father who art in heaven Dsus2 Em Come down here and make your presence known A We can't do it on our own D The lunatics let run the asylum Dsus2 Em How can we find peace inside your home A When you can't trust your own Reff Overtone D This is the city that raised me Bm With the religion they gave me Em A Now I'm old enough to know my own mind D But it was leaving that saved me Bm I've seen so much that has changed me G A So just break with your past Bm Dm Feed your own mind Em A Bm Dm Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times Em A D Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
