Tonalidad: C major
Verse 1
C
They call me Billy Collins,
G
Gm
boys, I'm as Irish as my name
C
And like my pa before me,
Gm
C
fightin' was my game
F
But to see the River Shannon
Dm
Am
has always been my dream.
Bb
F
I've prayed I'd lay my dying soul
Dm
G
beside her lovely stream.
C
But I don't believe
F
the River Shannon
G
runs through Tennessee.
C
E
Am
This muddy water filled with stone
Dm
G
Looks like Collins Creek to me
C
F
My father's kin have made their homes
G
E
Up and down this riverbed
Am
Dm
And it's here beside this granite stone
G
C
I lay my dying head
It was 14 sonic victories,
Gm
14 bloody fights,
C
that brought me north to New York,
Gm
C
beneath the garden lights,
F
Dm
where the Puerto Rican racketeers
Am
played their money smart.
Bb
F
They loaded up their fighter's gloves
Dm
G
and destroyed my fighting heart.
C
So it was home I went in blind defeat.
Gm
I never fought again.
C
And the right and left
which served me well
G
Gm
Then served me pints of gin
F
Dm
And the roar of the thundering fight crowd
Am
In one desperate scream is drowned
Bb
F
I was too damn drunk to see the things
Dm
G
That had thrown me to the ground
And I don't believe
C
F
the river Shannon
Gm
G
runs through Tennessee.
C
Am
This muddy water filled with stone
Dm
G
looks like Collins Creek to me.
C
F
My father's kin have made their homes
G
E
up and down this river bed.
Am
Dm
And it's here, beside this granite stone,
G
C
Am
Dm
G
C
I'll lay my dying head.
So you can have your new world,
G
Gm
with all its fast machines.
C
Your fancy cars and painted horse
Gm
C
And all your goddamn dreams
F
Dm
I'd trade it all to lay my head
Am
On Lady Shannon's breast
Bb
But it's here beside this
Dm
G
They'll lay fightin' Bill to rest
C
Billy Collins lost his pride
Gm
But he never lost his nerve
C
He ran the straight and narrow
Gm
C
But couldn't make the curve
F
C
Dm
Ran off the road near Collins Creek
Am
blind drunk late one night
Bb
F
he lost the final round
Dm
G
but he may have won the fight
C
F
and I don't believe the river Shannon
G
runs through Tennessee
C
G
Am
This muddy water filled with stone
Dm
G
looks like Collins Creek to me.
C
F
My father's kin have made their homes
G
E
up and down this river bed.
Am
Dm
And it's here beside this granite stone
G
C
I'll lay my dying head.
Am
Dm
Yes, it's me, beside this granite stone,
G
C
I'll lay my dying head.
Thank you.
