verse 1
Bb
I’m a 21st centry Irish man
Ab Eb
Livin’ my life the best I can
Bb Ab
But the world never cared when I tried
Bb
Life gets hard when the road’s so long
Ab Eb
Still the 21st century has got me wrong
Bb
From the bottom of the bottle I’ve cried
Ab
They said “you ain’t no son of mine”

Outro
Bb
From the frigid night to the hottest days
(I’m a 21st century Irish man)
I have bled for the floors where my children lay
(I’m a 21st century Irish man)
Beat down in the streets for being who I am
(I’m a 21st century Irish man)
I’m an Irish bastard, I don’t give a damn
Eb Bb
(21st century Irish man)
And for all of those too lazy to tune your guitar here’s the tab on Standard Tuning…
Play these power chords in the song
Bb Ab Eb F
