I'm also working on filking some Dropkick Murphy's stuff. Spicy McHaggis, Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya and (if too many people don't give me endless political lectures), The Fields of Athenry (again!). I'll send you what I have when I get more on paper and less in the old noggin, and maybe we can collaborate a bit.
Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya I've figured out chords for already. It's a different chord sequence to what I'm used to (for 3 dirty goblins), but pretty similar. I actually think my chords suit 3 dirty goblins better, but the "other" chords work better for Johnny; they each have a different emphasis.
Try "Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced". Both the album cos it's great, and the song cos its very easily filked. I'd have done it myself if Iolanthe was in any way inclined towards crudity (stoopid elves). The Worker's Song is another damn good one and if I'd ever monstered the Lions, would have been sung by Thrydwulf's downtrodden masses.
When we went to see the Murphys supporting the Pogues, a good percentage of the fans actually left before the Pogues came on stage. You've gotta respect a band with fans like that.

I need to see the Murphies live. (But I would have still hung around for The Pogues!)
