                "Slainte Mhath" 

                 by Marillion

First, the piano:

        --#----------------------------------

        -------------------------------------           O = 1/4 note
                                                        o = 1/8 note
        -----------------------O-------------           

        -------------------------------------           (4 times)
                O        o              o  
        --------------o--------------o-------

                  ---      ---   ---      ---
                   o        o     o        o


Then, some chords:

        D C   Am G      (4 times)


Now, a guitar:

        e ----------------------------
        b -4-3-4---------4-3-4------6-
        g --------3-5-3---------3-5---  (repeat this forever and ever)
        d ----------------------------
        a ----------------------------
        e ----------------------------
chords:   F            Eb

Time for some singing:

        A F hand held over a Eb candle in angst fuelled braFvado Eb
        A F carbon trail Eb scores a moist stretched F palm Eb

        (etc.)

        And you C listen with a F tear in Bb your eye
        to their C hopes and beFtrayels and your Bb only reply
        is Slainte mhath.

The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:

        F Princes in exile Eb raising the standard DramFbuie Eb
        PaFrading their anecdotes Eb tired from old camFpaigns Eb

        (etc.)

        Take it aAbway
        Take it aBbway
        Take it aCsus4way
        Take it aBbsus4way, take it away
        Take it aCsus7way, take it away
        Take me aCway! Bb F
        C Bb F

        From the C dream on a the barbed wire 
                at Flanders and Bb Bilston F Glen
        From a C Clydeside that rusts
                from the tears of its Bb broken F men

        (etc.)

And that's all folks!
