Chords for Christy Moore - The Ballad Of Ruby Walsh - Video

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Betlehem and Cheltenham and Northern and the Murdoch [Am] Junction
The Trimpton and [F] Jagoria, [G] the rub of the [C] extra motion
Could keep the [G] Thancropatric [F] with serenity [C] on their faces
But Ruby Walsh, she saved me life [G] below at the [Am] Galway races
[C] Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the [Am] cracking up she'll go
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[C] They're understarkers, are they?
Ted Walsh is commentating
[Am] Ruby's up [F] in the favour, [G] she'll take [C] some bedding
Necks are [G] crammed and eyes are [F] stranded, there's fear upon [C] their faces
There's agony and ecstasy [G] below at the [A] Galway races
[C] Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [A] up she'll go
_ [C] _ It's there you'll see gentility in sheep dressed up like [Am] mutton
The stubble-barrelled [F] [G] nans with more airs [C] than normal lodgings
The talk is [G] all of tillage, [F] of silage [C] and connecher
I fancy Thrasyburg and the [G] Saddle [A] and [C] enclosure
Hey Ruby [G] held her back, give [F] her the cracking [Am] up she'll go
[Em] [Am] Sir _
_ _ [C] John McSavage's made his der with Smurfets and O'Reillys
[Am] The loaners [F] and the trailers [G] and the stable [C] boys and juggies
With silk [G] around their arses, [F] getting up on [C] Richmond's horses
The Dungeon waves and thunders, the [G] nerdages [A] and the forces
[C] Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [Am] up she'll go _ _ _ _
[C] There's Celtic teletrauters, land-bank speculators
[Am] _ [F] Builders and developers, [G] crocodiles and [C] alligators
_ [G] Soldiers of [F] destiny, they're in the [C] fatal frenzy
The Mose-Edit and Lemagod, and [G] Comeback [Am] for the gravy
[C] Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [A] up she'll go
[C] _ Holiday is the ladies' dandy, women all look smushin'
[Am] Their lotion [F] and the lipstick, [G] philatelies [C] all the freshin'
You can see the [G] liposuction, [F] the Botox and [C] augmentation
_ Brazilian haircuts, [G] columbic [Am] irrigation
[C] Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [A] up she'll go
_ [C] _ And everyone's out to salt hill, from the crank in front the porter
[Am] There's boogies, [F] bayonets and [G] two-flares walking up [C] the wall
There's folk and trad [G] at their disco, my [F] [C] karaoke and set dances
Some of the sooths and better days, we're lookin' [G] to take [A] our [C] chances
Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [Am] up she'll go _ _ _ _
_ [C] Then gallopin' down the backstreet, he hands her in the [Am] jinter
A look at her [F] left, a jump's big [G] and she's like a [C] ballet dancer
We love her then as [G] she hits the front, [F] and the [C] gunner's gone to pass her
The winner already hit, till there, [G] follow [Am] me up to [C] Tarlow
Hey Ruby held [G] her back, [F] give her the cracking [A] up she'll go
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [C] Hey Ruby [G] held her back, [F] give her the cracking [Am] up she'll go _ _
