I cannot promise you that this tab is 100% accurate, but I did this by ear and it sounds
correct.  This is a really beautiful song that I identify with as an Irishwoman, and
a shame someone better than me hasn't tabbed it yet.  Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
 
G                               C           G
There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land
G                           D             G
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
G                            C              G
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
G                             D          G
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
 
C                C                         G
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
G                    C             D                G
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
C                C                                   G
But those of us, those of us, who forget where we're from
G               C             D           G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn
 
C             C
Take me back, take me back
C                       G
To the way life used to be
 
G                           C             G
A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak
G                             D      G
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
G                             C          G
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
G                        D          G
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
 
C             C
Take me back, take me back
C                       G
To the way life used to be
 
G                        C     G
Yesterday is better than it is today
G                        D              G
And today will be better tomorrow, they say
G                                  C            G
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
G                                     D               G
That's "live and let live," we're all different, that counts
 
C                C                         G
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
G                    C             D                G
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
C                C                                   G
But those of us, those of us, who forget where we're from
G               C             D           G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn
 
C                        D             G
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
D                  G              C                G
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies
D                G     D           G
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
D                      C
So come down from your heaven, Lord
       G                D
Let me show you Hell on earth
 
C                                    G
Take me back to the way life's never been

This is pretty nice! I'm not so sure about the "dark is the shallow man" bit, but then again my guitar is a little out of tune. Good job!

Very good...follows the song nicely. Missing one chorus part in there after the 2nd verse "A whisper's now sayin...", but it is easy enough to fill in. Thanks!

theres an Em in it thats not posted for the dark is the shadow man part. Flogging Molly is fond of those Em chords here and there throughout alot of their songs.
