***Down in the Ground Where the dead Men Go - by Shane MacGowan
from the albums "Red Roses For Me"
Down in the Ground Where the dead Men Go - as perfomed by The Pogues
This song is pretty simple.
Play a C over the verse and an Am over the chorus.
Here is the melody:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------0-2-0-2-0---|
A|---0-2-3-3-----------3-|
E|-3---------------------|
During the intro the guitar alternates between four bars of C and four bars of Am.
For the other melody parts I believe the guitar just plays C straight through.
***Version 2*** by Kristoffer Ekman

CHello boys I've been away on a bit of a holiday
TCo the land where the rivers freely flow and the cattle roam on the wild callagh
CWalking home three parts pissed I stumbled and fell in the morning mist
I Cfell and rolled in the hungry grass that tells the tale of a terrible past
I Cscreamed and ran and dreamt I fell down in the depths of a freezing hell
The Cmen coming off of their boats and say bouncing tooth and the skull that died
Bring Cout those ones for the better days gonna wrap me up and take me away
CFour million people starved to death could smell the curse on their dying breath
Where Cno one ever wants to go
AmDown in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
AmDown in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
To hell which is circular all around down in the belly of the big cold ground
The moving shadows were everywhere the very trees seemed to bend and stare
I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore screamed and ran till I could run no more
Over the hill and across the moor I ran in the house and slammed the door
What the hell's that over there a petrifying corpse sitting in that chair
Where no one ever wants to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Inst | C| C| Am| Am| C| C| Am| Am||
Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home from bar to bar like a ghost I roamed
I can't forget those things I saw been down with the devil in the Dalling Road
One place I don't want to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go down in the ground where the dead men go
