Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

The shankill butchers run tonight

You better shut your windows tight

They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives

And taking all their whiskey by the pint

And everybody knows if you don't

Mind your mother's words

A wicked wind will blow

Your ribbons from your curls

Everybody moan, everybody shake

(

/B) x2

The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake

They used to be just like me and you

They used to be sweet little boys

But something went horribly askew

Now killing is their only source of joy

And everybody knows if you don't

Mind your mother's words

A wicked wind will blow

Your ribbons from your curls

Everybody moan, everybody shake

(

/B) x2

The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake

Solo chords

The shankill butchers on the rise

They're waiting until the dead of the night

They're picking at their fingers with their knives

And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs

And everybody knows if you don't

Mind your mother's words

A wicked wind will blow

Your ribbons from your curls

Everybody moan, everybody shake

The shankill butchers wanna catch you

The shankill butchers wanna cut you

The shankill butchers wanna catch you

Awake

Awake

Awake

Awake
