"Rebels Of The Sacred Heart"

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

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

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

Verse 2:
D                G    D
Terrified of the open road
      G        D        A     D
Yeah, where it leads ya never know
    D                     G      D
But rest assured he'll be on you back
          G    D                 A          D
Yeah, the Holy Ghost through his tounges in black
       A                      G          D
As the band dog howls and the young girl cries
    A                     G           D
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
    D                 G          D
The albatross hangin' round your neck
       G         D             A       D
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             G                    A
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                     G    D
Now bless me father for I have sinned
             A              G                   D
But it's the same old story again and again and again
         D                       G        D
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
     G          D            A          D
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
