Tom: G
G C G
The wind blows cold at night
G D G
The brave are melancholy
G C G
If you stand in the dark with your ear to the wind
G D
You'll hear the sound of Molly
G C G
Deep in the dark of that old mine shaft
G D
You smell the smoke and fire
G C G
And the murmur low in the mine below
G D G
Is the ghost of Molly Maguire
[Verse 1]
G C G
Let me tell you me boys, Michael Doyle is my name
G D G
I come from Carbon County
G C G
I shot the boss of the Langsford Mine
G D
My soul is up for bounty
G C G
And I will die with my head held high
G D
I fought for the men below
G C G
The men who work and fight and die
G D G
Down in that black hell hole
[Verse 2]
G C G
And I'll tell you my boys, Michael Finnegan's my name
G D G
I'm hanging high in the morning
G C G
For I shot Jack Jones for skinning my bones
G D
I curse the sound of mourning
G C G
And I will die with my head held high
G D
I fought for the men below
G C G
The men who work and fight and die
G D G
Down in the black hell hole
[Verse 3]
G C G
Well, I tell you me boys, Alex Campbell is my name
G D G
No pistol did I fire
G C G
And I will fall from the gallows wall
G D
For being a Molly Maguire
G C G
Yes, I will die with my head held high
G D
I fought for the men below
G C G
The men who work and fight and die
G D G
Down in that black hell hole
[Chorus]
G C G
The wind blows cold at night
G D G
The brave are melancholy
G* C G
If you stand in the dark with your ear to the wind
G D
You'll hear the sound of Molly
G C G
Deep in the dark of that old mine shaft
G D*
You smell the smoke and fire
G C G
And the murmur low in the mine below
G D G
Is the ghost of Molly Maguire
G D G
It's the ghost of Molly Maguire
