Biografía:
El grupo fue fundado a finales de 1969 en Dublín (Irlanda), por el bajista y cantante Phil Lynott, el guitarrista Eric Bell, el organista Eric Wrixon y el baterista Brian Downey. Wrixon se fue en 1970, y cansados de las pocas posibilidades de éxito en Dublín, el grupo se fue a Londres en 1971.
Firmando un contrato con Decca Records, el primer éxito de Thin Lizzy llegó en 1973, con "Whiskey in the Jar", una versión de una tradicional canción irlandesa.

Thin Lizzy - Honesty is No Excuse (1971)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin ([email protected])
Tuning: About 1/4 flat of standard E
Intro:
A (x4)
A
Up 'til now I used to pass my time
A7 D G G/F
Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine
Bm Bm/A E E7
No God, air, water or sunshine
C#m C#m7 F# F#7
And honesty was my only excuse
Bm Bm/A E
I took your love and I used it
A
Up 'til now my youthful stage
A7 D G G/F
A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge
Bm Bm/A E E7
A dirty shade, a big charade, has been made
C#m C#m7 F# F#7
And honesty was my only excuse
Bm Bm/A E E7
I took your love and I used it
A C#m
Duu, duu, duu, du du duu, duu
G Bm E
Du du duu, duu
[Solo backing]:
A A A A A7 D G Gmaj7
Bm Bm/A E E7 C#m C#m7 F# F#7
Bm Bm/A E E7 A C#m G Bm
E E E E7
A
Up 'til now my love life
A7 D G G/F
A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife
Bm Bm/A E E7
A happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam
C#m C#m7 F# F#7
And honesty was my only excuse
Bm Bm/A E
I used to take life by the hand, and I abused it
A C#m
Duu, duu, duu, du du duu, duu
G Bm E E7
Du du duu, duu
A
Up 'til now I used to tap dance
A7 D G G/F
Take a girl by the hand, saying I need your, I need your romance
Bm Bm/A
Oh...
E E7
I had me some chances
C#m C#m7 F# F#7
And honesty was my only excuse
Bm Bm/A E E7
I used to take your love, and I'd abuse it
A C#m
Duu, duu, duu, du du duu, duu
G Bm E E7
Du du duu, duu
A
Up 'til now the path of life was fair enough
A7 D G G/F
Was fair enough, enough was fair, all was right
Bm Bm/A E E7
And now I know, I see the light
C#m C#m7 F# F#7
And honesty was my only excuse...
The song fades out from here, so you can choose to either finish the verse
or end on the F#7, I guess... (which will sound pretty bad).
Anyway, enjoy!
