We had to preface the little song that we're playing about now, and we were looking through some books of poetry, Irish poetry,
and we came across a poem by Louis MacNeice, poet and as it turns out, prophet.
A poem called Dublin, just simply Dublin, and this is the first verse of the poem.
Is [A#m] that recorded, Nat?
[N]
Grey brick upon brick, the clamor three bronze on sombre pedestals, O'Connell, Grattan, North,
and brewery tubs and swans on the balustraded stream, and the bare bones of a fan light over a hungry door,
and the soft wind on the cheek, and porter from the taps with heads of yellow cream, and Nelson on his pillow, watching his world collapse.
Well,
[D]
[A] [D]
[A]
[D]
poor old Admiral Nelson is no longer, [A] on [D]
the eighth day of March, at Dublin City Fair.
Poor old [A] Admiral Nelson [D] is no longer, from his stand of stout people, crashing through the mired [D] and rivet,
so let's sing our [G] celebration, and a service to the nation, [D] for poor old [A] Admiral Nelson is [D] no longer.
Of fifty pounds of jelly can I fit spread among these ways,
[A]
[D] and a lad that laid the charge wouldn't get to him today.
[A]
[D] [A] Head to Farmer Square at night, we believe Admiral Nelson standing there,
when no one tells the Irish [D] what they'll do, so the Dublin [G] Corporation can stop the liberation,
[D] when a pint of [A] iron sells up [D] on you.
A hundred and fifty-seven years it stood up there in place,
to [A]
[D] make our Nelson victory, or the French and Spanish freedom.
[A]
[D] But [A] one party in the morning, with a little bit of Nelson's sugar powder [D] and a blue,
while last [G] year is kissing, [C#] and finally triestation,
[D] or [A] [D]
the Russians and the Yanks, with a little of prose they play,
[A] [D]
and a hitch, and to make them laugh,
la-da-da-da [A] la-da-da-da-da-da [D]-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[A] We have a net on the street.
We're the Irish, we [D] do too.
Let's sing [G]
