The Irish Pub
The High Kings
Capo 3 (optional)
[Verse]
Dm F C
Well you're walkin' through a city street, you could be in Peru
Dm C Am
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 C Am
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 wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
[Verse]
Dm F C
Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same,
Dm C Am
You'll have "Razor Houghton" scoring in the Ireland - England game
Dm F C
And you know your in an Irish pub the minute you're in the door,
Dm C Dm
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore.
[Chorus]
F
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
Dm C Am
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 wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
[Verse]
Dm F C
Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork,
Dm C Am
And the lad that's holding up the bar says 'Only Eejits Work'
Dm F C
He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy's from Kildare,
Dm C Dm
And he's going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare.
[Chorus]
F
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
Dm C Am
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 wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
[Verse]
Dm F C
Now it's time for me to go I have to catch me train,
Dm C Am
So I'll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain,
Dm F C
For I'll have that pint you owe me, if I'm not gone on the dry,
Dm C Dm
When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry.
[Chorus]
F
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
Dm C Am
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 wherever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
