Verse 1:
    A augmentedA
Now I'm aimin' for heaven
       G+G        D MajorD
But probably wind up down in hell
   A augmentedA           G+G          D MajorD
Where upon this alter I will hang my guilt ridden head
     D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD
But it's time I'll take before I begin
   G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA       D MajorD
Three sheets to the wind, Three sheets to the wind

Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD     G+G               A augmentedA
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G      D MajorD
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
     D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G      D MajorD
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Verse 2:
D MajorD        G+G  D MajorD
Terrified of the open road
   G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA   D MajorD
Yeah, where it leads ya never know
  D MajorD           G+G   D MajorD
But rest assured he'll be on you back
     G+G  D MajorD         A augmentedA     D MajorD
Yeah, the Holy Ghost through his tounges in black
    A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD
As the band dog howls and the young girl cries
  A augmentedA           G+G      D MajorD
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
  D MajorD         G+G     D MajorD
The albatross hangin' round your neck
    G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Is the cross you bare for your sins he bleeds

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Bridge:
D-G-D-G-D-A-D x2

Verse 3:
Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land
Now on guilt you kneel

And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale to the Northern sky

So you saved your shillins and your last six pence
Cause in God's name they built a barbed wire fence

Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don't forget there'll be hell to pay

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Solo:
A-G-D x2
D-G-D-G-D-A-D x2

Bridge2:
Hm      E MajorE       G+G          A augmentedA
Reserrection no protection all things life must be

Chorus:
Ah no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Verse4:
  A augmentedA           G+G  D MajorD
Now bless me father for I have sinned
       A augmentedA       G+G          D MajorD
But it's the same old story again and again and again
     D MajorD            G+G    D MajorD
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
   G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA     D MajorD
From mornin' to noon to this shadowless-night

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
