Punch Drunk Grinning Soul Tab

by Flogging Molly


Very cool tune.  I am only uncertain on one chord, that being the second chord of the 
 If someone can help with that, I would appreciate it.


Verse 1

It took me everything I had
                   
To give all that I could

Walk beside me while I sleep
                          
Steer me from the slumber wolf

Tangled forest of the mind
                     
Speaks to me of self-despise

Close the window through the pane
                  
Hear the siren's serenade...


Verse 2

Could have been the comeback kid
                               
The southpaws' legend glove to fill

No shadow boxer but the one
                         
A true contender for the crown

Now this punch drunk grinning soul
                                     
In its' corner begs 'no more'


Chorus
             
Hey now, stay proud
                              
You were lost on a blue day
                            
Hey now, stay proud
             
Hey now, stay proud
                              
You were lost on a blue day
             
Hey now, stay proud
    D (stacc.)
But we hardly knew ya


Break 1: Em


Verse 3

The chamber echo never speaks
                            
The rushin' tide devours my feet

No global warming fills this soul
                            
For hell it freezes what it stole

From the beggar's empty plate
                                       
To our world that stuffs its' face


Chorus
             
Hey now, stay proud
                               
You were lost on a blue day
                             
Hey now, stay proud
             
Hey now, stay proud
                               
You were lost on a blue day
                       
Hey now, stay proud
                   
But we hardly knew ya...


Break 2: G   B7  Em [repeat once]


Bridge
                                      
But these tired eyes are crashin' down on me
                    
While the paint never dries
                                      
On these four walls that now suffocate me
                    
But tonight, maybe tonight
            
All will be free...


Break 3: Em


Verse 4

Release, unlock this prison door
                    
It can't hold me anymore

Serpent lied with sting of tale
                         
Hand of reason rusts the nail

Now this punch drunk grinning soul
                                    
In its' corner begs 'no more'


Chorus
             
Hey now, stay proud
                              
You were lost on a blue day
                            
Hey now, stay proud
             
Hey now, stay proud
                              
You were lost on a blue day
                      
Hey now, stay proud
                   
But we hardly knew ya...

…we hardly knew ya x 3


Em to end.
