Chord progression is G C G D / Em C G D
verse 1:
G C G D
I grew up in Ireland in dear old Dublin town
G C G D
brought up by a people who`d let nothing get them down
Em C G D
I was taught while still a child to stand up for me rights
Em C G D
Prepare to face the devil that would plague me in my life
verse 2:
I served a long apprenticeship a very honest trade
and met so many devils of whom I felt afraid
But fathers words came back to me when I wanted to back down
I looked each devil in the eye and boldly stood me ground
Chorus:
G C G D
Stand up to your devils or they`ll walk over you
G C G D
remember, son, the devils come in many shapes and hues
Em C G D
There`s devil that is handsome, the devil that is mean
Em C G D
Some of them look scruffy and some look far too clean
verse 3:
I tried me hand at courting and women found me sweet
Until I met McKenna who knocked me off my feet
Oh Lord was she a lover with a temper of a shrew
She not just knocked me off me feet, she knocked me black and blue
verse 4:
Sure she was a devil dressed up in Angel`s guise
When you`d least expect a cloud she`d hit you `tween the eyes
She started talking marriage each time she looked at me
I felt 'twas time I got to know the devils of the sea
- chorus
verse 5:
I waved my hand and said goodbye as ship pulled from the quay
Adventure layed before me and so did seven seas
I travelled many ocean miles and found from east to west
The devils you are safest with are those that you know best
- chorus
