Chords for Flogging Molly - The Rare Ould Times + Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Raised on [G] songs and _
_ _ [D] _ stories, heroes _
[G] of renown.
_ Out [D] of passing _ [G] tales and _ _ [D]
glories, [A] that once was Dublin town.
_ _ [D] The hallowed _ [G] halls and _ [D] houses, _ the haunting _ [G] _ children's _ rhymes,
[D] that once was _ [G] part of Dublin _ _ [A] in the _ _ _ [D] rarest of times. _ _ _
_ Ring-a-ring [G]-a _ _
[D]-rosie, _ as the [Bm] light _ _ declines,
I [D] remember _ Dublin [G] city _ _ in [A] the _ _ _ [D] rarest of times.
_ _ _ _ Well, my name, it is [G] Sean _ [D] _ Dempsey, as Dublin [G] as can be.
[D] Born hard and [G] laid up in the [D] cold, in [A] a house that ceased to be.
[D] _ _ Trained I was at Cooper, lost out to _ [G] redundancy.
_ [D] Like my house, I [G] fell to _ progress, [A] my trades a _ [D] memory.
_ I crossed a [G] faggy [D] dig, now _ splitting up [G] _ shepherds.
[D] A rogue and child [G] of _ [D] Mary, [A] took a rebel _ reputation.
_ [D] I lost her [G] to a [D] student chap, skin as black [G] as coal.
_ [D] When he took her off [G] for Birmingham, [A] well, she took away [D] my soul.
_ _ _ Ring-a [G]-ring-a _ [D] _ -rosie, as the [Bm] light declines,
[D] I remember _ [G] Dublin city [A] in the _ _ [D] rarest of times.
Long years have [G] made me [D] bitter, that charcoal tinged [G] me green.
[D] Just Dublin, it keeps [G] on [D] changing, [A] and nothing seems the same.
The [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
houses [G] fall down, [D] the trade and [G] yielding concrete.
[A] Next to city [D] walls.
_ _ _ _ Ring-a [G]-ring-a [D] _ -rosie, as the [Bm] light _ declines,
[D] I remember Dublin [G] _ city [A] in the _
_ [D] rarest of times. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _

_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] Spend the healthy [G] and the [D] living, I can no [G] longer stay.
[D] And watch the new [G] glass _ [D] cages, [A] spring up along the quay.
[D] The noise, too [G] full of _ [D] memories, through walls you hear [G] new _ _ chimes. _
[D] I'm a part of what [G] was Dublin _ _ in [A] the _ _ _ rarest [D] of times. _ _ _
_ Ring-a [G]-ring-a [D] _
-rosie, as the [Bm] light _ declines,
[D] I remember Dublin [G] _ city [A] in the _ _ [D] rarest of times. _
_ Ring-a [G]-ring-a _ [D] _
-rosie, as the light [Bm] _ declines,
I [D] remember Dublin [G] city _ [A] in the _ _ [D] rarest of times.
I remember Dublin [G] city _ [A] in the _ _ _ _ _ [D] rarest of times. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
