The Tunnel Tigers - The Johnstons (with Paul Brady) chords
Start Jamming...
Heirs run free on the Wicklow mountains,
Wild geese fly and foxes play,
Sporting Wicklow boys are working,
They're driving a trotter through the London clay.
Up with the shields and the jackets, ram it,
Driving a trotter through the [Eb] London clay.
Lock, [Ab] derg, trout grow fat and lazy,
Salmon sport in Cushla Bay,
Fishermen of Connemara
Are driving a trotter through the London clay.
Below our ma the [Bb] wild ducks breeding,
Wild [Ab] fowl gather round Dock Ray,
Sporting boys of [Eb]
Longford County
Are driving a trotter through the London clay.
[Bb] Up with the shields and the jackets, ram it,
[G] Driving a trotter [Ebm] through the London clay.
[Ab] The carrock [A] rots on the Ackill [Gb] Island,
Tourists walk on the Newport Quay,
Mayo boys have all gone roving,
They're driving a trotter through the London clay.
[Dbm]
Carlow girls are fine and [Gb] handsome,
All decked out so neat and gay,
[Abm]
Carlow boys don't come to court,
They're driving [Bbm] a trotter through the London clay.
Up with the shields and the jackets, ram it,
Driving a trotter through the London [Eb] clay.
Down [E] in the dark are the [Bbm] Tunnel Tigers,
Far from the sun and the light of day,
Down in the land that the sea ones buried,
They're driving a trotter through the London clay.
Up with the shields and the jackets, [N] ram it,
Driving a trotter [Ab] through the London clay.
