"Slainte Mhath" 



                 by Marillion



First, the piano:



        --#----------------------------------



        -------------------------------------           O = 1/4 note

                                                        o = 1/8 note

        -----------------------O-------------           



        -------------------------------------           (4 times)

                O        o              o  

        --------------o--------------o-------



                  ---      ---   ---      ---

                   o        o     o        o





Then, some chords:



        [D] [C]   [Am] [G]      (4 times)





Now, a guitar:



        e ----------------------------

        b -4-3-4---------4-3-4------6-

        g --------3-5-3---------3-5---  (repeat this forever and ever)

        d ----------------------------

        a ----------------------------

        e ----------------------------

chords:   [F]            [Eb]



Time for some singing:



        A [F] hand held over a [Eb] candle in angst fuelled bra[F]vado [Eb]

        A [F] carbon trail [Eb] scores a moist stretched [F] palm [Eb]



        (etc.)



        And you [C] listen with a [F] tear in [Bb] your eye

        to their [C] hopes and be[F]trayels and your [Bb] only reply

        is Slainte mhath.



The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:



        [F] Princes in exile [Eb] raising the standard Dram[F]buie [Eb]

        Pa[F]rading their anecdotes [Eb] tired from old cam[F]paigns [Eb]



        (etc.)



        Take it a[Ab]way

        Take it a[Bb]way

        Take it a[Csus4]way

        Take it a[Bbsus4]way, take it away

        Take it a[Csus7]way, take it away

        Take me a[C]way! [Bb] [F]

        [C] [Bb] [F]



        From the [C] dream on a the barbed wire 

                at Flanders and [Bb] Bilston [F] Glen

        From a [C] Clydeside that rusts

                from the tears of its [Bb] broken [F] men



        (etc.)
