        The State of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphy’s

Tabbed by: PakistaniEagle77
Tuning: Standard

Alright, I have the banjo part arranged for a guitar, the best way to get a banjo-like
is to pick close to the bridge on an acoustic guitar, and maybe dampen the strings at the
with a cloth or something along those lines.  I have the Electrics capo V, which is 
they are in the recordings (DKM uses open chords almost exclusively). The banjo parts
however, not written in relation to the capo.

She had excuses and she chose to use them
G                                   Am
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Am                                  C
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
G                                     Am
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!

Am   C                  G      Am

Am                               G
I don't predict the future

I don't care about the past

Send them both to D.S.S
G
Now you had your chance
Am                                   G
The posion stole your babies

You can have your children or the night!!!

Have you lost all ambition
Am
Won't you give this thing a try
Am                                       C
If you can't and you fail won't be the only loser
G                                                  Am
