The Contender (Capo 4)
C When I was young, and I was in my F day
I could have Dm stole what woman's heart there was G away
C I'd sing and dance into the morning
Dm I'd blaze a way until the dawning'
F Long before I was the G man you see to C day.
C I was born beneath the star that promised F all
I could have Dm lived my life between Cork Cobh and G Youghal
C But the wheel of fortune took me
Dm and from the highest point it shook me
F By the bottle live by the G bottle I shall C fall.
Am But there in the Dm mirror G on the C wall
I see the Dm dream is G fading
Am From the Dm contender G to the C brawl
The Dm ring, the rose, the F matador is G raving
C And when I die I'll die a drunk down in the F street
And you can Dm count me out to ten in clear G defeat
C Rap the starry plough around me
Dm Let the pipers air resound me
F There I'll lie until the G lord of love I C meet.
Am But there in the Dm mirror G on the C wall
I see the Dm dream is G fading
Am From the Dm contender G to the C brawl
The Dm ring, the rose, the F matador is G raving
C And when I die I'll die a drunk down in the F street
And you can Dm count me out to ten in clear G defeat
C Rap the starry plough around me
Dm Let the pipers air resound me
F There I'll F lie until the G lord of love I C meet
