Em G D
The wind that whistles off the hills and carries her perfume
Em C D
Carries too a lonely carol badly out of tune
Em G D
For just tonight beyond these walls I'd lay a mountain low
C D
And sing to her like only I know how
Chorus:
Em G D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
Em C D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
Em G D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
C D
There's a light still burns in me
Break:

Em Em Am C
Em G Em Em
Em G D
Auld Nick patron saint o' merchants, pawnmen and the judges
Em C D
Who barter with the lives of men, the battlers and the bludgers
Em G D
Go haunt the dogs awhile they sleep and thrash 'em round to sense
C D
There's to many good boys this side of the fence
Chorus:
Em G D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
Em C D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
Em G D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
C D
There's a light still burns in me

Bridge:
Am C
There's boys in here for liftin' gear from non-be-wary strangers
G D
And newly minted ne'er-do-wells and them born with the dangers
Am C
For livin' less than fruitful lives, toppin' less than faithful wives
G D
A broken line of fools that span the ages
Chorus:
Em G D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
Em C D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
Em G D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
C D
There's a light still burns in me
Break:

Em Em Am C
Em G Em Em
Em G D
Auld Nick patron saint of fools from both sides of the law
Em C D
For his sake wipe the dirty grin off that fat bastards jaw
Em G D
We're lovers of tradition & we might yet find a way
C D
To hold them bloody keys come boxing day
Chorus:
Em G D
They don't hang no fairy lights these rusty iron bars
Em C D
So I burn a paper lamp for her to see
Em G D
Though she's left like a widow of a war that never was
C D
There's a light still burns in me
