First, the piano:

--#----------------------------------

------------------------------------- O = 1/4 note

o = 1/8 note

-----------------------O-------------

------------------------------------- (4 times)

O o o

--------------o--------------o-------

--- --- --- ---

o o o o

Then, some chords:

[D] [C] [Am] [G] (4 times)

Now, a guitar:

e ----------------------------

b -4-3-4---------4-3-4------6-

g --------3-5-3---------3-5--- (repeat this forever and ever)

d ----------------------------

a ----------------------------

e ----------------------------

chords: [F] [Eb]

Time for some singing:

A [F] hand held over a [Eb] candle in angst fuelled bra[F]vado [Eb]

A [F] carbon trail [Eb] scores a moist stretched [F] palm [Eb]

(etc.)

And you [C] listen with a [F] tear in [Bb] your eye

to their [C] hopes and be[F]trayels and your [Bb] only reply

is Slainte mhath.

The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:

[F] Princes in exile [Eb] raising the standard Dram[F]buie [Eb]

Pa[F]rading their anecdotes [Eb] tired from old cam[F]paigns [Eb]

(etc.)

Take it a[Ab]way

Take it a[Bb]way

Take it a[Csus4]way

Take it a[Bbsus4]way, take it away

Take it a[Csus7]way, take it away

Take me a[C]way! [Bb] [F]

[C] [Bb] [F]

From the [C] dream on a the barbed wire

at Flanders and [Bb] Bilston [F] Glen

From a [C] Clydeside that rusts

from the tears of its [Bb] broken [F] men

(etc.)

And that's all folks!
