The Molly Maguires lyrics and guitar chords

The Molly Maguires Song was written by songwriter / musician Phil Coulter and a mighty hit for The Dubliners. I have included the guitar chords in the key that Luke Kelly and The Dubliners [ songs ] play the song in. The Molly Maguires sheet music notes .

Make[C] way for the[G] Molly Maguire's, their [F]drinkers,they're[G] liars but they're[C] men,
Make[C] way for the[G] Molly Maguire's,you'll[F] never see the[G] likes of them[C] again.

[Am]Down the mine no[Em] sunlight shines,those[C] pits are black as[Am] hell,
In[C] mud and slime they[F] do their time,it's[G] Paddy's prison[C] cell.
And they[F] coursed the day they[C] sailed away,and [F]drowned their tears with a[G] jar.

[2]
Backs will break and muscles ache,
Down there there's no time to dream,
Of fields and farms and woman's arms,
Just dig that bloody seam,
Though they break their bodies underground,
None dare to push them around.
Here are the guitar chords as played by The Dubliners
Make[F] way for the[C] Molly Maguires,thet're [Bb]drinkers,they're[F] liars but they're[C] men,
Make way for the[C] Molly Maguires,you'll[Bb] never see the likes of them a[F]gain.

[Dm]Down the mine no[F] sunlight shines,thoes pits are black as[Dm] hell,
In[F] mud and slime they[Bb] do thier time,it's[F] Paddy's [C]prison[F] cell.
And they[Dm] coursed the day they[Am] sailed away,and [Bb]drowned their tears with a[C] jar.

[2]
[Dm]Backs will break and[F] muscles ache,
Down there theres no time to [Dm]dream,
Of [F]fields and farms and [Bb]woman's arms,
Just [F]dig that [C]bloody [F]seam,
Though they [Dm]break their bodies [Am]underground,
None [Bb]dare to push them a[C]round.
