Song For Rosemary Uke tab by Steady Hands

Intro: F# Ebm F# 2x


F#              Ebm              B                F#
I stand with my father, an eight hundred year old grave 
F#                  Ebm           B             F#  
And I push past the dirt, see his grandfather's name 
F#               Ebm          B           F#
Some died in The Famine, some died in New York 
F#              Ebm              B               F#
I stand with my father where his grandmother was born 
F#             Ebm         B      F#
I head down to Galway, the city I lost 
F#                         Ebm           B            F#
Try and find some of these girls, that inspired these songs
F#                       Ebm               B          F#
And the beggars, and the dealers they were plenty I'm sure 
F#                Ebm             B        F#
But I politely declined all their hangover cures 
F#                 Ebm         B          F#
The next morning I woke to the air of the Ire' 
F#                Ebm         B           F#
With my old rusty bike I took down to the water 
F#                     Ebm     B           F#
There a cross it stood still a foot or two deep 
F#                       Ebm              B        F#
For the first time in my life, I may have actually believed 
F#               Ebm         B             F#
So to Westy, Jim Lockey, The Starters, and Stu 
F#            Ebm          B           F#
You gave punk rock so punk rock I gave you 
F#               Ebm               B         F#
To girls down at Lockdown, I toast you every night 
F#                    Ebm           B (mute)    F#
Hope you're making me proud keeping this scene alive 

F#        Ebm              B               F#    4x

If you ever make it to the new eastern coast 
I'll be there to greet you, my home is your home 
Cause you made me the happiest I've ever been 
Without you I'm limbless, I've got no Steady 
There's a Libertine in Dublin, she's captured my soul 
If I can't have her, I'd rather be alone 
If you're ever stumbling down old Blackwood Road 
Tell her I'll be back soon, cause I'm bringing her home
