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