Biography:
The Wolfe Tones is an Irish rebel music band that incorporates elements of Irish traditional music. Formed in 1963, their most recognizable line-up that lasted for nearly 37 years until January 2001 was brothers Brian Warfield and Derek Warfield, and Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne. The band take its name from the Irish rebel and patriot Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, with the double entendre of a wolf tone – a spurious sound that can affect instruments of the violin family.

THE WOLFE TONES
CELTIC SYMPHONY
Words & Music by Brian Warfield & friends
[Verse 1]
Am
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
G
He wouldn't set me free,
Am
So he kept me soul for ransom.
Na na na na na...
[Verse 2]
Am
I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,
G C
I've sailed this world around and round,
Am
He's the meanest thing that I have found,
C G Am
In all me days of wandering.
Na na na na na...
[Verse 3]
Am
And I could see his evil eyes,
G C
But instead he took me by surprise,
Am
Take me to your paradise,
C G Am
I want to see the jungle!
Na na na na na...
[Bridge]
Am C G
Here we go again, we're on the road again
C G
We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise.
C G
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps,
C G
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise.
[Chorus]
Am
Graffiti on the walls just as the sun was going down
G
Graffiti on the walls - up the Celts! up the Celts!
Am
Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic,
G Am
Graffiti on the wall, graffiti on the wall...
G Am G Am
*It says ooh ah up the 'Ra, say ooh ah up the 'Ra *[x4]
