<\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td>F<\/td>C<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, you’re walkin‘ through a city street, you could be in Peru<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td>Am<\/td><\/td>C<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And you hear a distant calling and you know it’s meant for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td>F<\/td>C<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td>C<\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And before you know just where you are, you’re in an Irish pub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F<\/td><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They’ve go<\/em><\/strong>t one in Honolulu, they’ve got one in Moscow too<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dm<\/td><\/td>Am<\/td><\/td>C<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td>F<\/td><\/td>C<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So whether you sing or pull a pint, you’ll always have a job<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dm<\/td><\/td>C<\/td><\/td>Dm<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‚Cause where ever you go around the world you’ll find an Irish pub<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll have ‚Razor Houghton‘ scoring in the Ireland, England game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you know you’re in an Irish pub the minute you’re in the door<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the lad that’s holding up the bar says ‚Only Eejits Work‘<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy’s from Kildare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he’s going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridge<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Now it’s time for me to go, I have to catch me train<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’ll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I’ll have that pint you owe me, if I’m not gone on the dry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
