[D]
[G] [F#m]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] Here's to the Ronnie, the voice we adore, like coals from a coal [A] bucket, straight from the [D] floor.
Sing out his [Bm] praises in music [G] and mall, [D] and if you're not [A] Irish, that isn't [D] your fault.
[G] [A] [D] Raise up our voices [Bm] like [D] doves in a pie, grateful for honest [A] men we never [D] lie.
We got them by twenties, [Bm] we got [G] them by ones, [D] their [G] men, their daughters, [A] and [D] all of their sons.
[G]
[D] [G]
[F#m] [G] Here's to you, [D] Ronnie too, [G] here's to you, [Bm] Ronnie too, [G] Ronnie too.
[Bm]
[F#m] We love you, [G] yes we do, [D] here's to you, [A] Ronnie too, [D] here's to you.
Oh, I sit sweaty and wetter and all, wetter than a rainy [A] day or a weather I'd [D] soon.
I'd get a grip on her [Bm] petticoat, and I'd hang and [D] snow, and I'd try to please her, [A] but I'd fuck her [D] still.
We'll [G]
[A] [D] go [Bm] at it five until [G] five, [D] when the whistling says beat [A] it, we'll come back [D] alive, he'll sing to the [G] heavens,
he'll turn his head, [D] and wherever he's going, we'll worship him well.
[G] [A]
[D] [G] [D]
Here's [G] to you, [D] Ronnie too, [G] here's to you,
[Bm] Ronnie too, Ronnie [G] too.
[Bm]
[F#m] We love you, yes [G] we do, [D] here's to you, [A] Ronnie too, [D] here's to you.
[A] The torn and the dusty, unwiring, and the fear, [Em] the black left page.
The [A] unheard, the unseen, the unwashed, [D] and the clean, and [Em] the streets are crowded.
[A] Bagot Street, Leesland Street, [Dm] Ryehams, Stephen [Em] Street, [Bm] Lovers and [Em] Loaners,
Luka, Kieron, and Dona, [G] the Dyers and the Ravers, [C#] and [G]
[A] the Big
[D]
Trust in the music, [A] strike up the [D] band, the more that we sing, [Bm] the less [G] that we fight.
[D] [G] Time and again, [F#m] this is [D] proof we'll be right.
We'll build you a statue [Bm] on St.
[G] Stephen's [D] Green, a fair monument, [A] there to be [D] seen,
a statue of Ronnie [Bm] Drew, all [G] in the hands [D] of a girl with a hair [A] in a black [D] velvet crown.
[G] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [G] Here's to you, [D] Ronnie too, here's to [G]
you, [Bm]
Ronnie [G]
too, [Bm] Ronnie [D] too.
We [F#m] love you, [D] yes we do, here's to you, [A] Ronnie too, [Bm] here's to you, [G] [D] here's to you, Ronnie, [A] [D] here's to [G] you.
[D] Here's to you, [A] Ronnie too.
[D]
I stood so aimless, whether [Dm] at all, whether [F#m] I'm easy or whether [E] I'm true,
[C#] as I lifted her [B] petticoat easy and [Am] slow, [D] and I tied up me sleeve for the [B] buckle of her [D] shoe.
[G]
