[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [D]
Last night I was awake dreaming my way across the sea
James Macken [Bm] brought me comfort with a lot of [D] man-pachin
He flew me back [G] to Dublin [D] and he seen [Bm] my scene
[D] So a public [Bm] execution [G] being held on [D] Stephen Green
The young man on the [G] platform held his [D] head up and [Bm] he did sing
Then he whispered hard into my [G] ear as he handed me this [D] ring
If you miss me on [G] the harbour, spread [D] a boat and leave the [Bm] three
Take [D] the snake with Isaac [Bm] Garnet, [G] my mother gave [D] to me
The snake cannot be [Bm] captured, [D] the snake cannot [Bm] be tied
[D] The snake cannot be [Bm] tortured [G] or harmed, [D] crucified
It came down through [G] the ages, [D] it belongs to you [Bm] and me
[D] So pass it on, [Bm] then pass it on, [G] so all mankind [D] is free
If you miss me [G] on the [D] harbour, spread a boat and leave [Bm] the three
[D] Take the snake with [Bm] Isaac Garnet, [G] my mother [D] gave to me
He swung his face [G] with purple, [D] a roar came from [Bm] the crown
[D] But man can't even laugh [Bm] to push me, [G] and he got back [D] on the ground
He dropped me off [G] in London, [D] back in his [Bm] daily land
[D] But my eyes were [Bm] filled with wonder, [G] had the ring still in [D] my hand
If you miss me [Bm] on the harbour, [D] spread a boat and [Bm] leave the three
[D] Take the snake with Isaac Garnet, my mother gave to me
If you miss me on the harbour, spread a boat and [Bm] leave the three
[D] Take the snake with [Bm] Isaac Garnet, [G] my mother [D] gave to me
