High Kings, Irish Pub Song (2009)
Key: :[Am] (w: Brian Flynn)
VERSE 1:
Well
[Am] you walk into a city street, you
[C] could be in Per-
[G]-u
And you
[Am] hear a distant calling and you
[Em] know it's meant for
[G] you
And you
[Am] drop what you were doing and you
[C] join the merry
[G] mob
And be-
[Am]-fore you know just
[G] where you are, your
[Am] in an Irish pub
CHORUS:
They've got
[C] one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too
They got
[Am] four of them in Sydney and a
[Em] couple in Katman-
[G]-do
So
[Am] wheather you sing or pull a pint you'll
[C] always have a
[G] job
Cause where-
[Am]-ever you go a-
[G]-round the world you'll
[Am] find an Irish pub
VERSE 2:
Now the
[Am] design is fairly simple and it
[C] usually works the
[G] same
You'll have
[Am] "Razor Houghton" scoring in the
[Em] Ireland England
[G] game
And you
[Am] know your in an Irish pub the
[C] minute you're in the
[G] door
For a
[Am] couple of boys with
[G] bodhrans will be
[Am] murdering Christy Moore
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
Now the
[Am] owner is Norwegian, and the
[C] manager comes from
[G] Cork
And the
[Am] lad that's holding up the bar says
[Em] "Only Eejits
[G] Work"
He was
[Am] born and bread in Bolton but his
[C] mammy's from
[G] Kildare
And he's
[Am] going to make his
[G] fortune soon and
[Am] move to County Clare
REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
[Am] Now it's time for me to go I
[C] have to catch me
[G] train
So I'll
[Am] leave ye sitting at the bar and
[Em] face the wind and
[G] rain
For I'll
[Am] have that pint you owe me, like I'm
[C] not gone on the
[G] dry
When we
[Am] meet next week in
[G] Frankford in the
[Am] fields of Athenry
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
Where-
[Am]-ever you go a-
[G]-round the world you'll
[Am] find an
[Em] Irish
[Am open] pub
