Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The Menzingers tune down a half-step, so they play this with a capo on the second fret,
but if you're in standard, you'd play with a capo on the first fret.
[Intro]
G C C/B
G Em G
[Verse]
G
Long for the words with hearts and wings
G
Something familiar when you miss everything
Em
You rest your head against the window pane
G
Feet on the dash through the steady rain
G
I drove you home while you slept in the front seat
G
After a show at the Stone Pony
Em
Watch you awake so god damn sweetly
G G/F# Em
Over the Walt Whitman Bridge back to Philly
[Interlude]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em C C/B Am C/B Am G
[Verse]
G
I toss and turn at four in the morning
G
Petrified of where our future's going
Em
'Cause you're the kind of girl that deserves the world
G
I'm just the kind of guy that promises the world
G
So I fix a drink nice and strong in the kitchen
G
Something quick that'll cure my conscience
Em
Creep back to bed and I kiss your forehead
G G/F# Em
Maybe everything is fine and it's all in my head
[Interlude]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em C C/B Am C/B Am G
[Chorus]
G
A little Irish in your blood
C G
A little Polish in your name
C
A little Boston in your attitude
G
Just the way you were raised
C
A little Irish in your blood
G
A little Polish in your name
C
A little Boston in your attitude
Em
Just the way you were raised

[Interlude]
G Em G
[Verse]
G
We drove up to Massachusetts together
G
Your old house was just like you remember
Em
We stayed in your adolescent room
G
Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you"
G
The souvenirs of happiness in the moment
Em
Your wild years that you often mention
G
The sands of time in an hourglass
Am
That you're always begging for back
D
I got drunk in the afternoon
G
with your father in the living room
Em
As the television broke the silence
Am D
You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do
[Chorus]

A little Irish in your blood
