High Kings, Irish Pub Song (2009)
Key: :[Em] (w: Brian Flynn)
VERSE 1:
Well
[Em] you walk into a city street, you
[G] could be in Per-
[D]-u
And you
[Em] hear a distant calling and you
[Bm] know it's meant for
[D] you
And you
[Em] drop what you were doing and you
[G] join the merry
[D] mob
And be-
[Em]-fore you know just
[D] where you are, your
[Em] in an Irish pub
CHORUS:
They've got
[G] one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too
They got
[Em] four of them in Sydney and a
[Bm] couple in Katman-
[D]-do
So
[Em] wheather you sing or pull a pint you'll
[G] always have a
[D] job
Cause where-
[Em]-ever you go a-
[D]-round the world you'll
[Em] find an Irish pub
VERSE 2:
Now the
[Em] design is fairly simple and it
[G] usually works the
[D] same
You'll have
[Em] "Razor Houghton" scoring in the
[Bm] Ireland England
[D] game
And you
[Em] know your in an Irish pub the
[G] minute you're in the
[D] door
For a
[Em] couple of boys with
[D] bodhrans will be
[Em] murdering Christy Moore
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
Now the
[Em] owner is Norwegian, and the
[G] manager comes from
[D] Cork
And the
[Em] lad that's holding up the bar says
[Bm] "Only Eejits
[D] Work"
He was
[Em] born and bread in Bolton but his
[G] mammy's from
[D] Kildare
And he's
[Em] going to make his
[D] fortune soon and
[Em] move to County Clare
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL:
[G] [D] [C] [D] //
[G] [D] [C] [D]
[A] [E] [D] [E] //
[A] [E] [D] [E] //
[Em]
VERSE 4:
[Em] Now it's time for me to go I
[G] have to catch me
[D] train
So I'll
[Em] leave ye sitting at the bar and
[Bm] face the wind and
[D] rain
For I'll
[Em] have that pint you owe me, like I'm
[G] not gone on the
[D] dry
When we
[Em] meet next week in
[D] Frankford in the
[Em] fields of Athenry
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
