"Rebels Of The Sacred Heart"

Verse 1:
    A
Now I'm aimin' for heaven
       G        D
But probably wind up down in hell
   A           G          D
Where upon this alter I will hang my guilt ridden head
     D       G    D
But it's time I'll take before I begin
   G       D      A       D
Three sheets to the wind, Three sheets to the wind

Chorus:
G     D     G               A
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    D    A    G      D
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
     D       A   D
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
     D    A    G      D
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
     D       A   D
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Bridge:
D-G-D-G-D-A-D x2

Verse 2:
D        G  D
Terrified of the open road
   G    D    A   D
Yeah, where it leads ya never know
  D           G   D
But rest assured he'll be on you back
     G  D         A     D
Yeah, the Holy Ghost through his tounges in black
    A           G     D
As the band dog howls and the young girl cries
  A           G      D
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
  D         G     D
The albatross hangin' round your neck
    G     D       A    D
Is the cross you bare for your sins he bleeds

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Bridge:
D-G-D-G-D-A-D x2

Verse 3:
Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land
Now on guilt you kneel

And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale to the Northern sky

So you saved your shillins and your last six pence
Cause in God's name they built a barbed wire fence

Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don't forget there'll be hell to pay

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Solo:
A-G-D x2
D-G-D-G-D-A-D x2

Bridge2:
Hm      E       G          A
Reserrection no protection all things life must be

Chorus:
Ah no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Verse4:
  A           G  D
Now bless me father for I have sinned
       A       G          D
But it's the same old story again and again and again
     D            G    D
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
   G     D      A     D
From mornin' to noon to this shadowless-night

Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Comment: Verse3 is identical to Verse2 and the Choruses are all the same.
