Shankill Butchers (Decemberists) cover w/ solo tabs

For my buddy, Ellis. Great anti-lullaby on the Decemberists' "The Crane Wife" sung by a weary and/or misguided mother trying to scare her kids to sleep by telling them about the real-life terrorists in Belfast, Northern Ireland who killed random Catholics.

I worked a long time on tabbing out the solo and it's quite accurate. Thanks to Steve Smith for help (and for his classical guitar which was perfect for this song).

Never knew the Decemberists wrote a song about Ireland. Sadly missed them when they played Vicar street in Dublin last March, fingers crossed they'll be back.

ps. I aplosogise for my fellow Irishmen whom are making an arse of themselves in the comments. We aren't all like that :P

This is a really good cover and thanks for the chords!

(I don't believe this is a pro-unionist or pro-republican song.)
