Band: Dropkick Murphys Song: Barroom Hero Album: Do or Die Tabber: clark@theoddmenout.com Intro: Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat Though his clothes are soiled and black, He's a big, strong man with a childs mind, Don't you take his booze away! C Verse 1:

He's been ^Cat it for years drinkin' balls and beer, He's a ^Fhero to most he ^Cmeets, But ^Finside he cries black ^Cswollen eyes This ^Gman he ^Fsheds no ^Ctears Now his ^Cwife & kids sing a different tune As they ^Fworry about their daddy ^Cdyin', But this ^Farrogant fool breaks ^Cevery rule It'll be ^Gnothing but ^Fpride that ^Ckills him

Chorus:

Could he ^Flisten no he won't that's ^Call she wrote He'll be ^Gdead before the daylight ^Cshines But the ^Fthoughts and prayers of a ^Cmillion strong Might ^Gkeep this ^Ffool from ^Cdying

Verse 2:

He's a ^Clegend in the bar with every scar Fights a ^Fthousand bigger ^Cmen, But now he ^Ffights and loses got ^Call the bruises Will ^Gsomeone ^Fplease step ^Cin' Cause this ^CIrish fools got a great big heart He keeps ^Fclimbing back into the ^Cring In the ^Flow down circles where he ^Cholds his court This ^Gman he ^Fonce was ^Cking
