You don't mind or anything?
If you want to.

Can I get personal? Sure.
Do I mean, it's to offend anybody
Am
or you don't object or anything.
Why should I?
You sure? Come on.
Which one? Okay. One,
G
Am
two. Yeah.

G
Am
Let me go back further.
D
Now let me go back further,
G
Am
if I may, yeah, please take it on,
D
G
It was a rainy afternoon,
Am
it was two, maybe three months ago
D
I first started to reminisce,
G
I first started to reflect,
Am
D
you know I was walking by the Thames at the time
G
and I started to think about the
I wrote this down
G
on a piece of lined white paper
Am
While I still felt strong about it
D
G
Am
Here's what I recall
D
G
It was August 1980,
I was searching for the spirit
D
G
in the bars of Dublin. I mean at this point,
you know,
Am
I had a bit of reputation
D
G
as something of a searcher.
I still have for that matter,
Am
but perhaps even more at this point.
D
G
Anyway, I went from one bar to another,
Am
I mean I started off with a couple of friends
D
but after a short while
G
I think they just decided to abandon the search,
well you know how it is,
Am
they probably had other plans
D
G
or something to do with it, I mean me,
I carried on,
you know, I was determined,
Am
I went from one bar to another,
D
G
I went to Branigans,
Am
I went to Flanigans,
D
you know, like in the song, you know,
G
the one about the donkey,
Am
you know, I mean, like, cause,
I've got to confess,
G
you know, at this point,
I wasn't feeling on top of the world,
Am
D
you know, frankly, no, no sir.
G
In other words, you weren't exactly
laughing.
mean, I wasn't exactly
Am
walking down the road
D
with a spring in my step.
wasn't my middle name.
Am
That's not true. I mean,
D
I heard that blind man,
that man with the glasses.
Am
I didn't like the song,
D
you understand. Oh, right.
G
But I did know what he meant
about the higher ground.
Am
I knew what he meant
about the higher ground.
So anyway, I went into this one bar.
Am
I can't remember the name
of it.
D
It doesn't really matter now.
G
But I, you know, by this time I was getting,
Am
I was getting really impatient.
D
So I plucked up the courage
I noticed a man.
Am
He was probably in his early thirties.
Am
D
and a big, fierce, powerful face.
G
He looks like the type you know
Am
D
G
and want.
Excuse me.
Am
D
Do you know where I can find the spirit
G
of Brendan Behan, said I.
Am
Brendan Behan said, yes,
D
G
Am
and I, New York, said he, New York, said I,
D
G
New York, said again quickly, New York?
Am
D
Man, that's 3 ,000 miles to the west.
G
I mean, you're on the wrong
Am
I just got out of there.
D
I put my coat on, I got out of there,
G
I walked straight out of there.
And I walked down the road
Am
D
G
Am
D
G
and I started to sing
