RUDE IRISH FEUD

A

It happened in an irish town not many a mile from here

You know it lasted way to long twent on many a year

D                A

I look back now and wonder how I shed so many a tear

E          G   A

It’s a strange thing that it ended up so weird

Well the girl walked in in cardigan no she wasn’t quite a belle

I didn’t see it happening though one can never tell

Yeah she chewed me up and spit me out and sent me back to town

Left an achin in my heart so hard to quell

(Chorus)

D      A

Looking back I have to laugh cuz I learned my lesson good

E      A

I won’t go back to Hackensack stay in my neighborhood

      D A

It’s really rude to start a feud in this late century

      E G             A

But in my mind that’s how it’s got to be

Well it didn’t begin about this as far as I’m concerned

But when you start to hurt my kin you’re hitting below the shirt

You ask me and I’ll clarify you’re the one who played the card

If you ask for anything I’ll say life’s hard

We took you in and I’m not ashamed we loved you as our own

But your scarred up battered pysche can’t compute the love its shown

I’m relieved to see you can’t permanently destroy the things I know

Of the bitterness and grief I’m letting go

Yeah looking back I have to laugh cuz I learned my lesson good

My family’s tight and my family’s right in this here neighborhood

It’s really rude to start a feud this ain't medieval times

But your values haven’t come as far as mine
