***Birmingham Six - by Shane MacGowan from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" Birmingham Six - as performed by the Pogues
There were Dsix men in Birmingham In GGuildford there's Dfour DThat were picked up and tortured And Gframed by the Alaw And the Dfilth got promotion But they're still doing Gtime For being DIrish in the wrong place And Gat the wrong Atime
In DIreland they'll put you aGway in the DMaze DIn England they'll keep you for Gseveral long Adays God Dhelp you if ever you're caught on these Gshores The Dcoppers need someone and they Gwalk through that Adoor
You'll be Dcounting years First Gfive then ten A7Growing old in a Dlonely hell DRound the yard and the Gstinking cell From Awall to wall and Dback again
A curse on the judges, the coppers and screws Who tortured the innocent wrongly accused For the price of promotion And justice to sell May the judged be the judges When they rot down in hell You'll be counting years First five then ten Growing old in a lonely hell Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall and back again Break: [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,A] May the whores of the empire lie awake in their beds And sweat as they count out their sins in their heads While over in Ireland eight more men lie dead Kicked down and shot in the back of the head You'll be counting years First five then ten Growing old in a freezing hell Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall and back again Counting years First five then ten Growing old in a lonely hell Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall and back again Break: [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,D] [C,A]
