INTRO:
Am  C  Am

Verse 1:
                    F
The shankill butchers ride tonight
    E
You better shut your windows tight
        Am                                  F
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
    E
And taking all their whiskey by the pint

Chorus:
                 Am
'Cause everybody knows
       F                        Am
If you don't mind your mother's words
  Am               F
A wicked wind will blow
     G                 Am
Your ribbons from your curls
                          F
Everybody moan, everybody shake
    E                N.C.
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
     Am
Awake

Verse 2:
     Am                          F
They used to be just like me and you
     E
They used to be sweet little boys
    Am                       F
But something went horribly askew
    E
Now killing is their only source of joy


Chorus:
                 Am
'Cause everybody knows
       F                        Am
If you don't mind your mother's words
  Am               F
A wicked wind will blow
     G                 Am
Your ribbons from your curls
                          F
Everybody moan, everybody shake
    E                N.C.
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
     Am
Awake


Verse 3:
                             F
The shankill butchers on the rise
   E
They're waiting till the dead of night
        Am                                 F
They're picking at their fingers with their knives
    E
And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs


Chorus:
                 Am
'Cause everybody knows...
       F                        Am
If you don't mind your mother's words
  Am               F
A wicked wind will blow
     G                 Am
Your ribbons from your curls
                          F
Everybody moan, everybody shake


Outro:
E
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
E
The shankill butchers wanna cut you
E
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
Am
Awake
Am
Awake
Am
Awake
Am
Awake
