F#m G#m A G#m
[Verse 1]
F#mThe shankill butchers Dride tonight
You C#mbetter shut your windows tight
F#mThey're sharpening their cleavers and their Dknives
And C#mtaking all their whiskey by the pint
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody F#mknows
If you Ddon't Emind your mother's F#mwords
A F#mwicked wind will Dblow
Your Eribbons from your F#mcurls
Everybody moan, everybody Dshake
C#mThe shankill butcheN.C.rs wanna catch you
AwF#make

F#mThey used to be just like me and Dyou
They C#mused to be sweet little boys
F#mBut something went horribly Daskew
Now C#mkilling is their only source of joy
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody F#mknows
If you Ddon't Emind your mother's F#mwords
F#mA wicked wind will Dblow
Your Eribbons from your F#mcurls
Everybody moan, everybody Dshake
The C#mshankill butchers wN.C.anna catch you
F#mAwake
[Verse 3]
F#mThe shankill butchers on the Drise

F#mThey're picking at their fingers with their Dknives
And C#mwiping off their cleavers on their thighs
