Dropkick Murphys – Fairmount Hill
*Capo on 2nd fret*
First tab, so don’t hate. I love playing the traditional version or this song, so
here it is as modified by the Dropkick Murphys. Slainte!
Am G Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by
Am C G
My mind was bent on rambling, and to Boston I did fly
Am C G
I stepped on board a vision, and I followed with the will
Am G Am
Till at last, I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill
Am G Am
It was on the 23rd of June, one day before the fair
Am C G
When Boston’s sons and daughters and friends assembled there
Am C G
The young, the old, the brave and the bold, came their duty to fulfill
Am G Am
At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dropkick-murphys/104875.html ]
Am G Am
I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say
Am C G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray
Am C G
I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still
Am G Am
See I used to crash at his mother's house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill
Am G Am
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
Am C G
She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
Am C G
She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"
Am G Am
Oh, she's one miss Fayes O’Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill
Am G Am
I dreamt I'd fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal
Am C G
A-gainst an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill
Am G Am
The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill
Am G Am
When I awoke in Cali-fornia, many miles from Fairmount Hill
