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