DROPKICK MURPHYS - TESSIE

A
Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
E
Tessie is the tune they always sung
D
Tessie echoed April through October nights
A                                    E
After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young

A
Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
E
Tessie is a maiden with a love
D
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
A                            E
She's got a comment full of love

(Bagpipe)

A
And sometimes when the game is on the line
E
Tessie always carried them away
D
Up the road from "Third Base" to Huntington
A                               E
The boys will always sing and sway

Two! Three! Four!

A
Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
D
We're not here to mess around
A                    E                        A                 E
Boston, you know we love you madly hear the crowd roar to your sound
A
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
D
You know we couldn't live without you
A                   E         A  E
Tessie, you are the only only only!

A
The Rooters showed up at the grounds one day
E
They found their seats had all been sold
D
McGreevey led the charge into the park
A                                      E
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold

A
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
E
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
D
Up from "Third Base" to Huntington
A                            E
They'd sing another victory song

Two! Three! Four!

A
Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
D
We're not here to mess around
A                    E                        A                 E
Boston, you know we love you madly hear the crowd roar to your sound
A
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
D
You know we couldn't live without you
A                   E         A  E
Tessie, you are the only only only!
