Pogues

Pogues - Broad Majestic Shannon guitar chord

***The Broad Majestic Shannon - by Shane MacGowan

from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"

Note: I have added some fills that I play on guitar that duplicate other

instruments on the song.  I also added the bridge that was missing.

Main Riff:

The Broad Majestic Shannon - as perfomed by The Pogues

D G  D Bm  D G  A D (with Main Riff)

    D                       G           D

The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks

          D                     G            Bm

There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks

    D                             G

You sang me a song as pure as the breeze

     D            G       A

on a road leading up Glenaveigh

  D                      G           D

I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe

            D                          G               Bm

Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom

D                                              G

Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone

      D              G        A         D

Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go

        D                  G     A

Take my hand, and dry your tears babe

        D                 G     A

Take my hand, forget your fears babe

           D                     G  A

There's no pain, there's no more sorrow

            D     G             A

They're all gone,   gone in the years babe

D G  D Bm  D G  A D (with Main Riff)

I sat for a while by the gap in the wall

Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called

And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall

And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks

There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks

For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl

About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

D G  D Bm  D G  A D (with Main Riff)

Bridge: G D (4x)

D G  D Bm  D G  A D (with Main Riff)

     D                     G   A

So I walked as the day was dawning

                  D                    G   A

Where small birds sang and leaves were falling

              D                     G   A

Where we once watched the row boats landing

       D     G         A   D

By the broad  majestic Shannon

D G  D Bm  D G  A D (with Main Riff)
