Weile Weile Waile Lyrics, Guitar Chords And Tab''Beyond here there be monsters'' , well that's what Ronnie Drew said when he was describing what the song was about. The guitar chords are in the key of D and a version in C in chordpro format and the 5 string banjo chords are also included in D Major. A traditional song [ nobody knows who wrote the song ]made famous by ''The Dubliners''.Years ago people from the cities knew very little about life in the rest of the country and there were lots of stories made to frighten children.this is one of them. Return to my list of Dubliners songs .
