FLANNIGAN’S BALL-Dropkick Murphy’s
----------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: PakistaniEagle77
There aren’t any real leads in this song, and the solo is just a little Bb Blues deal
the chorus progression, so heres the chords CAPO I. This is for electric, as DKM has a
to use open chords almost exclusively. The E and G chords are sometimes strummed as a
being beats 4 and the + of beat four. The first E and G chords played represent the
note played by the Bass
E G Am Am (repeat) This is also used at various points in between verses.
AmIn the town of Milton one
Brian Flannigan battered aGway till his money was spent
AmThen he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
AmBought a three decker with two floors for rent
AmHe threw a big party for friends
And relations at a grand old pGlace called Florian Hall
AmAnd if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
AmTo the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball.
[Chorus:]
AmSix long months I spent Gin quincy,
AmSix long months doing nothing at aEll,
AmSix long months I spent inG quincy
AmLearning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I sAmtepped out and I steppedG in again,
AmI stepped out and I stepped iEn again,
AmI stepped out and I stepped Gin again
AmLearning to dance for Flannigan's ball.
AmFree beer on tap and wine for the ladies,
GZiti and sauce for mark porzio
AmThere were faheys and bradys,
AmMcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away.
AmBrian tully sang out in his finest form,
GThe patron's responded and I lead em all
AmI'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy
AmLearning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[Chorus]
AmThe boys were hammered the girls were hearty
GDancing around in couples and groups
AmAn accident happened you Dennis Flemming
AmPut his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops
AmThis gal she fainted and cried bloody murder,
GCalled for her sons and gathered them all,
AmChristopher swore he'd go no further
AmTill he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
[Chorus]
AmIn the midst of the melee
GMiss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
AmSome of the boys declared she was plastered
AmHad a small drop to much I suppose
AmYoung Scotty Jenkins so big and ableG
GSaw his fair colleen stretched by the wall
AmTore the left leg from under the table
AmAnd smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball
AmBoy oh boy now this was a rumble myself
GTook a lick from mean Ricky Green
AmBut I soon replied to that fine introduction
AmAnd gave him a terrible kick in the spleen
AmTalent the piper nearly got strangled,
GThey squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all,
AmThe girls in the middle nearly got trampled
Am (pause)
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
[Chorus]
End on Am
