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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[D#] [A#] [Ab] [A#] // [D#] [A#] [Ab] [A#]
[F] [C] [A#] [C] // [F] [C] [A#] [C] // [Cm]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
