Seven Deadly Sins

Flogging Molly

Text File

This is a great song on Flogging Molly's new cd, 'Within a Mile of Home'.  I really
enjoy this song, and I wanted to learn how to play it. Most of this sounds right, but
the bits in-between the chorus and the verses sound a bit off. I just played around
until I got this, so I won't say it's 100%, but I'm pretty positive that the chorus,
verse, and the bridge tabs are correct. If you can figure out the little in-between
parts, please send me an e-mail so I can correct it: krustyb_7@yahoo.com.

(Chorus)

D                   G                
Sail away where no ball and chain
    D                        A           
Can keep us from the roarin' waves
D         G             A                 D
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
D               G
So sail away aboard our rig
    D                       A
The moon is full and so are we
D                    G
We're seven drunken pirates
          A              D
We're the seven deadly sins

Am  D  Am  E/Em  Am

D
So the years rolled by and several died
                         A
And left us somewhat reelin'
D
Johnny strummed his Tommy gun
                           A
Left blastin' through the ceiling
D
So what became of rebels

Who sang for you and me?
                     G          
Grapplin' with their demons
        A              D
In the search for liberty

D
Sufferers who suffer all
                    A
Can swim upon the desert
D
Where avarice has ravaged all
                    A
In spite of good intentions
D
Don't fill your mouth with gluttony

For pride will surely swell
                   G              A              D
But nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of hell

(Chorus)

D
Envy and its evil twin
                        A
Its crept in bed with slander
D
Idiots they gave advice
                       A
But sloth it gave no answer
D
Anger kills the human soul

With bitter tales of lust
                          G
While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin'
       A                  D
On the legs they never trust

(Chorus)

Am   D   Am  E/Em  Am

             F                C
But it's the only life we'll know
Em                C
Blagards to the bone
               
So don't wreck yourself
         G
Take an honest grip
                  F                  C        D
For there's more tales beyond the shore



Ah the years rolled by and several died

And left us somewhat reelin'

In and out came crawlin' out

And spewed upon the ceiling

So what became of rebels

That sang for you and me
D                      G
Grapplin' with their demons
         A             D
In the search for liberty

(Chorus)
