High Kings, Irish Pub Song (2009)
^{Key: :[C#m] (w: Brian Flynn)}

VERSE 1:
Well [C#m] you walk into a city street, you [E] could be in Per-[B]-u
And you [C#m] hear a distant calling and you [G#m] know it's meant for [B] you
And you [C#m] drop what you were doing and you [E] join the merry [B] mob
And be-[C#m]-fore you know just [B] where you are, your [C#m] in an Irish pub

CHORUS:
They've got [E] one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too
They got [C#m] four of them in Sydney and a [G#m] couple in Katman-[B]-do
So [C#m] wheather you sing or pull a pint you'll [E] always have a [B] job
Cause where-[C#m]-ever you go a-[B]-round the world you'll [C#m] find an Irish pub

VERSE 2:
Now the [C#m] design is fairly simple and it [E] usually works the [B] same
You'll have [C#m] "Razor Houghton" scoring in the [G#m] Ireland England [B] game
And you [C#m] know your in an Irish pub the [E] minute you're in the [B] door
For a [C#m] couple of boys with [B] bodhrans will be [C#m] murdering Christy Moore

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Now the [C#m] owner is Norwegian, and the [E] manager comes from [B] Cork
And the [C#m] lad that's holding up the bar says [G#m] "Only Eejits [B] Work"
He was [C#m] born and bread in Bolton but his [E] mammy's from [B] Kildare
And he's [C#m] going to make his [B] fortune soon and [C#m] move to County Clare

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[E] [B] [A] [B] // [E] [B] [A] [B]
[F#] [C#] [B] [C#] // [F#] [C#] [B] [C#] // [C#m]

VERSE 4:
[C#m] Now it's time for me to go I [E] have to catch me [B] train
So I'll [C#m] leave ye sitting at the bar and [G#m] face the wind and [B] rain
For I'll [C#m] have that pint you owe me, like I'm [E] not gone on the [B] dry
When we [C#m] meet next week in [B] Frankford in the [C#m] fields of Athenry

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
