Outside The Pale

C We grew up in a small town just outside the pale F 30 miles from Dublin riding with the rails C The times they were the eighties when things were kinda tough F Where jobs they weren't many we G tried from dawn till dusk C The rain it kept on pouring, pouring down on us F Drowning in the darkness it washed away the dust C Our hearts they were afflicted and heavy with the load F Still so dark and lonely it's a G story long been told F Outside the pale, G without fail, Am they've ruined all of F us F Outide the pale, G without fail, F they betrayed our C trust (Middle 8)F The boom it started G coming and Am change was on the F cards F Then people started G moving and Am swimming with the F sharks F Greed to be the G downfall of the Am tiger as he F roared F Then back towards the G old times like C before C We left to move to Boston as my father did before F We had nothing in our pockets just pennies for our thoughts C So we went and packed our suitcase and headed for the plane F Hoping for a new start and let go of this pain F Outside the pale, G without fail, Am they've ruined all of F us F Outide the pale, G without fail, F they betrayed our C trust Outside the pale, a holy grail, they ruined all of us Outside the pale, now so frail, they betrayed our trust
