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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

OUTRO:
Where-[F#m]-ever you go a-[E]-round the world you'll [F#m] find an [C#m] Irish [F#m open] pub
