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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[F] [C] [Bb] [C] // [F] [C] [Bb] [C]
[G] [D] [C] [D] // [G] [D] [C] [D] // [Dm]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

OUTRO:
Where-[Dm]-ever you go a-[C]-round the world you'll [Dm] find an [Am] Irish [Dm open] pub
