Verse 1:
C            F   C 
18th of June 1875 
C               G 
All is calm in Dublin town 
F 
It was on this night 
C               Am 
By the pale moonlight 
G                C 
That tragedy was found’ 
C                       F          C 
A fire broke out at Malone’s Malthouse 
C                            G 
And the pigs squealed out in fear 
F 
Then flames that rose 
C               Am 
made the kegs explode 
D7                              G 
Sendin’ high proof down the street 


F                                       C 
Raise up your shoe filled with whiskey my boys 
F                           E7 
For the pigs and the fire brigade 
Am                      C 
Three cheer from the chaps 
F               C 
Who are havin’ a lash 
G                       C 
At the Dublin whiskey Fire 


Verse 2:
      C            F       C 
As fire spread and whiskey flowed 
    C                G 
The people they were saved 
    F                          C          Am 
The noise from the pigs were a warning to all 
     G                     C 
And flame took no one that day 
    C                   F             C 
The whiskey kept flowin through the streets 
       C                     G 
Til it reached that watching crowd 
         F                      C              Am 
They knew what to do, well they filled up their shoes 
    D7                  G 
And sucked that whiskey down 


F                                       C 
Raise up your shoe filled with whiskey my boys 
F                      E7 
For the pigs and fire brigade 
Am                C 
Three cheer from the chaps 
F               C 
Who were havin’ a lash 
G                     C 
At the Dublin whiskey Fire 


Verse 3:
C                          F           C 
The flames were put out by the fire brigade 
          C              G 
And the crowd let out a cheer 
F                                   C        Am 
But the brew they were drinking was not done distillin’ 
G           C 
Tragedy was near 


C                           F          C 
Shoe after shoe blokes were swillin it down 
C                       G 
But the whiskey was too strong 
F                              C      Am 
Take solace in this they died totally pissed 
D7               G 
Singing out this song 


F                                       C 
Raise up your shoe filled with whiskey my boys 
F                      E7 
For the pigs and fire brigade 
Am                 C 
Three cheer from the chaps 
F               C 
Who were havin’ a lash 
G                       C 
At the Dublin whiskey Fire 


F                                       C 
Raise up your shoe filled with whiskey my boys 
F                      E7 
For the pigs and fire brigade 
Am                   C 
Three cheer from the chaps 
F               C 
Who were havin’ a lash 
G                     C 
At the Dublin whiskey Fire

Am              C
