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

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