Every Dog Has Its Day Lyrics

Top o' the morning to ye! This is my first tab I've submitted; it's a
ridiculously simple song by the greatest, most high-energy band ever. As such,
it must be played furiously (except for a few parts for contrast) with lightning
quick down-up strumming. I'll add a few notes on dynamics, but this is quite a
simple song. Enjoy it!
Flogging Molly
Verse 1:
(slow, 3/4 time) C G C G
Well, I??ve drunk to drown on every ocean I??ve been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
(fast 4/4) C G C G
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen??s land
Well I drank with the Sultan down the Suez Can*l
Chorus:
Cause every dog has it??s day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there??s a ship that sails tonight
I??ll captain that, too... just to be there with you
Verse 2:
Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one, too
That night on the bridge with my shovel in hand
Well he threatened to kill me I??m sure he picked the wrong man
Verse 3:
Well there was mutiny in Lagos aboard the mean ship Skondi
Ten or twelve days in prison till the bastards set me free
McCloskey, you??re free
Instrumental:
Verse 4:
(slow 3/4) C G C G
Now I love the sea, and she wants me back
So I leave this ol?? harbor with the wind at me back
(very slow) C G C G
Goodbye mother Theresa I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas Pray to God I don??t drown
End on C chord
That's the whole song. Ideally you'd have drums, fiddle, and mandolin to fill
out the sound a bit, but this is a wonderful song as it is. Remember to pick up
the pace for the ending choruses, and have fun with it!
