Seven Deadly sins - Dubliners
This is my version of seven deadly sins that I have worked out by ear.
This may not be %100 correct but its how I play it.
Capo 2nd fret (or transpose 2 up and play in A)
Some say that kissin s a sin
But tell me how can that be true
For kissing has been in this world
Since the very first day there was two
Now if it wasn t legal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a kiss or two
And if they didn t like it then away the girls would run
And if it wasn t plenty then the poor folk would get none
Some say that gamblin s a sin
But I ll bet you fifteen to one
That gambling has been in this world
Since horses and greyhounds could run
Now if it wasn t legal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a bet or two
And if they didn t like it then away the girls would run
And if it wasn t plenty then the poor folk would get none
Some say that swearin s a sin
But where is the man that can tell
For swearing has been in this world
Since the Devil was told go to hell
Now if it wasn t legal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a curse or two
And if they didn t like it then away the girls would run
And if it wasn t plenty then the poor folk would get none
Some say that smokin s a sin
And a pipe now and then is enough
But smoking has been in this world
Since Adam taught Eve how to puff
Now if it wasn t legal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a smoke or two
And if they didn t like it then away the girls would run
And if it wasn t plenty then the poor folk would get none
Some say that drinkin s a sin
But a gargle is fine now and then
For drinking has been in this world
For ever and ever, Amen
Now if it wasn t legal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a drink or two
And if they didn t like it then away the girls would run
And if it wasn t plenty then the poor folk would get none
