Chords for The High Kings - McAlpines Fusiliers TG4 25 Dec 2013

[N] _ _ _ _ Out _ _ _ _ down [Bm] that land came the [G] Calpine's men with a shovel _ [A]
slung behind them.
[D] _ Twas in the pub they drank [G] the sub and up in [D] spite you'll [G] find them.
_ They [D] sweated blood and they washed [G] down mud with pints and [Bm]
quarts of [G] beer.
_ _ And [D] now we're on the road [A#] again with the [F#m] _ [A] Calpine's _ _ [D] fusiliers.
_ I swept to the skin with [G] darky flesh _ [D] down in the Isle of Grain.
_ _ With a horse-face cool, sure I knew the [G] road, no money [D] if you stop for [G] rain.
_ _ A [D] Macalpine's got was a well-filled [G] hut, your [D] shoulders cut to bits and the [G] sheer.
_ And [D] when woes do deal until the [G] party was [D] _ _ [A] Macalpine's fusiliers.
[D] _ _ _ _ O-wee, _ [Bm] o _ -wee, _ o-wee, o _ -wee.
[D] Well I remember the day when [G] the Pharaoh's shade [D] fell into _ [A] concrete stairs.
[D] _ _ What the horse-face said, what he found [Gm] him dead.
Well it wasn't what [Bm] the rich call [G] prayers. _
[D] What I'm not sure was the one [G] retard that reached down [D] to my [G] ears.
_ [D] Oh and the going gets rough, well you must [G] be tough with _ [D] _ [A] Macalpine's _ [D] fusiliers. _
_ _ [Bm] O _ -wee, o _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -wee, _ o _ _ _ _ _ _ -wee, o _ _ -wee. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ I worked till the sweat when it [G] had me bet.
With [A] the Russian's checks [D] and polls. _ _
On shuddering dams, in the hydra [G] dams.
Or [D] underneath the Thames in a [G] hole.
_ _ [D] Well I grafted hard and I got [G] me card.
And _ [D] gangers fist across me [G] ears. _
[D] Well if you value your life, well don't [G] join my Christ.
With [D] _ Macalpine's [A] _
_ [D] _ fusiliers.
Well if you value your life, well don't join [G] my Christ.
With [D] _ [A] Macalpine's _ _ fusiliers.
