Sit Down By The Fire- as perfomed by The Pogues
Capo 1st fret
Intro |Am |Am |Am |Em Am |Am |Em Am ||
Sit Amdown by the fire I'll tell youEm a story toAm send you away to bed
Of the Amthings you hear creepinEmg when eveAmryone's sleeping and you wish you were out here instead
It Amisn't the mice inG the wall itAm isn't the wind in the well
Every Amnight they march out of tEmhat hole in Amthe wall on their way out of Hell
They'rCe the thiFngs thCat you see when you wake up and scream
The Ccold thingFs that follCow you down the Boreen
They Clive in the Fsmall wingC of trees on the hill
CUp atF the topC of the field
AndC they danceF on the rainC and they dance on the wind
They Ctap on the windowF when no Cone is in
C |F C||
And if ever you see them
CPretend that Fyou're dead oCr they'll bite off your head
ThCey'll rip ouFt your lCiver and dance on your neck
They Cdance on your headF they daCnce on your chest
AndC they give Fyou the crCamp and the cholic for jest

They're the ones that you see when you wake up and scream
The cold things that follow you down the Boreen
They live in the small wing of trees on the hill
Up at the top of the field
They play on the wind they sing in the rain
They dance on your eyes they dance in your brain
Remember this place it's damp and it is cold
The best place on earth but it's dark and it's old
So lie near the wall and cover your head
Good night and God bless now fuck off to bed
