Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice (a swing-style strum works well with this song) 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
