Alan Burke — Derry Jail

    	    	Вступление

He definately plays open tuning but I tried this for standard with capo 2

[Chorus]
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
      G                C   Em  Am
Yeah, down in Derry Jail
G                C   Em  Am
Down in Derry Jail


[Verse 1]
     G            C         Em
When Derry Jail I first did see,
  Em                   Am      C
a suit of clothes they gave to me
        G                     C        Em
And the bugs came out and out loud did hail,
       Em                  Am    C
Here's more fresh meat for Derry Jail


[Verse 2]
       G                    C         Em
Well I stole some bread and cursed my luck
  Em                Am     C
I had no plan and I came unstuck
     G                    C         Em
If I hadn't though of the price I'd pay
      Em                Am   C
I'd-a done it still but got away


[Verse 3]
        G                C      Em
And the judge he eyed me in the dock
       Em                     Am     C
And he slammed his gavel down on the block
        G          C     Em
There's 5 long for Derry Jail
           Em                  Am        C
Wouldn't a been so bad but the bread was stale


[Chorus]
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
      G                C   Em  Am
Yeah, down in Derry Jail
G                C   Em  Am
Down in Derry Jail


[Verse 4]
   G            C         Em
At 6 oclock the bell does ring
    Em            Am   C
For parade we all fall in
    G                   C       Em
The turnkey calls for a smarter gear
       Em                        Am    C
Man if we were smart we wouldn't be in here


[Verse 5]
       G            C        Em
And at 7 oclock the beds are made
   Em           Am     C
At 8 oclock the tables laid
          G                C       Em
They were rotten scraps of fish or meat
       Em              Am         C
Or the dirty slops the pigs won't eat


[Chorus]
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
      G                C   Em  Am
Yeah, down in Derry Jail
G                C   Em  Am
Down in Derry Jail


[Verse 6]
G              C       Em
Derry Jail the work is hard
Em                  Am     C
Breaking stones out in the yard
       G                  C         Em
Had us breaking stones at half past 10
     Em                     Am     C
Then out once more breaking stones again


[Verse 7]
        G                C     Em
There's men in here done awful crimes
    Em               Am   C
And others fallen on hard times
    G               C      Em
But all of them are better than
    Em                 Am        C
The stinking judge and the policeman


[Verse 8]
       G                    C      Em
And if I was the jailer and he was me
        Em                 Am     C
I'd get up one morning and set me free
    G                  C        Em
I'd leave me mates the bunch of keys
        Em                  Am           C
And I'd give the jailer the bugs and the fleas


[Chorus]
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
   G                C   Em  Am
Oh down in Derry Jail
      G                C   Em  Am
Yeah, down in Derry Jail
G                C   Em  Am
Down in Derry Jail
