Kurzes Intro Flöte
| Dm | F | C |
Well, you’re walkin‘ through a city street, you could be in Peru
| Dm | Am | C |
And you hear a distant calling and you know it’s meant for you
| Dm | F | C |
Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob
| Dm | C | Dm |
And before you know just where you are, you’re in an Irish pub
Chorus
| F |
They’ve got one in Honolulu, they’ve got one in Moscow too
| Dm | Am | C |
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
| Dm | F | C |
So whether you sing or pull a pint, you’ll always have a job
| Dm | C | Dm |
‚Cause where ever you go around the world you’ll find an Irish pub
Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same
You’ll have ‚Razor Houghton‘ scoring in the Ireland, England game
And you know you’re in an Irish pub the minute you’re in the door
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore
Chorus
Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork
And the lad that’s holding up the bar says ‚Only Eejits Work‘
He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy’s from Kildare
And he’s going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare
Chorus
Bridge
Now it’s time for me to go, I have to catch me train
So I’ll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain
For I’ll have that pint you owe me, if I’m not gone on the dry
When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry
Chorus
