Many of the chord names above are not the real names. But the fingering sounds
close to the recording. I don’t really know the real chord names of some of these.

Capo 2

[INTRO]
A   E   A   E   A   E   A   E


[VERSE]
A              E
The joy brings many things
   A                E
It cannot bring you joy
A               E
Sons of mothers huddle here
A              E
Men and boys


[VERSE]
A    E
1850 swung the doors
    A            E
And human sewage swept
  A                   E
Inside, where victims speak in whines
    A                  E
And where the hardened cried


[VERSE]
A               E
I was sent here by a,
           A             E
Three foot half-wit in a wig
  A                E
I took his insults on the chin,
    A                   E
And never did I flinch


[VERSE]
  A                 E
A swagger hides the fear in here
A               E
By this rule we breathe
    A               E
And there is no one on this earth
    A               E
Who I'd feel sad to leave


[BRIDGE]
       B         A      C#m     B
You see,  we all lose
A                E      C#m     B
          We all lose


[VERSE]
A                   E
What those in power do to you
  A             E
Reminds us at a glance
    A           E
How humans hate each other’s guts
    A                         E
And show it given the chance


[VERSE]
   A          E
We never say aloud the things
     A             E
That we say in our prayers
A             E
'Cause no one cares
A              E


[VERSE]
A             E
Many executed here
       A                   E
By the awful lawfully good
        A                        E
But the only thing that makes me cry
   A                  E
Is when I see the sky

 
[VERSE]
A                        E
Brendan Behan's laughter rings
            A                  E
For what he had or hadn't done
       A             E
For he knew then, as I know now
         A                  E
That for each and every one,   of us


[OUTRO]
B         A
   We all lose
C#m         B
    Rich or poor
A                E
          We all lose
C#m         B
    Rich or poor,
          G   F#   F   E
they all lose
G   F#   F   E
