C              G
  Make way for the Molly Maguires,
       F               G                C
they're drinkers, they're liars but they're men.
               G
Make way for the Molly Maguires,
   F              G            C
you'll never see the likes of them again.

      Am ~                C
Down the mines no sunlight shines,
                               Am
those pits they're as black as hell.
   C                   F
In mud and slime they do their time,
       C      G       C
it's Paddy's prison cell.
          Am                  Em
And they curse the day they travelled far,
     F                       G
and drown their tears with a jar. So.... + CHORUS

        Am ~                   C
Backs will break and muscles ache
                               Am
down there there's no time to dream
      C              F
of fields a'far, a woman's arm,
     C         G     C
just dig that bloody seam.
             Am                 Em
Though they drain their bodies under ground,
       F                         G
Who dares to push them around......so
