Am Am       Am/E Am/E         F F
The shankill butchers run tonight
E E
You better shut your windows tight
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
E E
And taking all their whiskey by the pint


Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
And everybody knows if you don't
G G Am Am Am/E Am/E
Mind your mother's words
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F F/C F/C
A A wicked wind will blow
G G Am Am
Your ribbons from your curls
Am/E Am/E Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
Everybody moan, everybody shake
E E E/B E/B (Am Am Am/B Am/B
Am/B Am/B) x2
The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake


Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
They used to be just like me and you
E E
They used to be sweet little boys
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
But something went horribly askew
E E
Now killing is their only source of joy


Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
And everybody knows if you don't
G G Am Am Am/E Am/E
Mind your mother's words
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F F/C F/C
A A wicked wind will blow
G G Am Am
Your ribbons from your curls
Am/E Am/E Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
Everybody moan, everybody shake
E E E/B E/B (Am Am Am/B Am/B
Am/B Am/B) x2
The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake

Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
The shankill butchers on the rise
E E
They're waiting until the dead of the night
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
They're picking at their fingers with their knives
E E
And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs


Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
And everybody knows if you don't
G G Am Am Am/E Am/E
Mind your mother's words
Am Am Am/E Am/E F F F/C F/C
A A wicked wind will blow
G G Am Am
Your ribbons from your curls
Am/E Am/E Am Am Am/E Am/E F F
Everybody moan, everybody shake

The shankill butchers wanna catch you
E E
The shankill butchers wanna cut you
E E
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
