[VERSE]
-----------
Well you're wa[Dm]lkin' through a city street, you co[F]uld be in P[C]eru
[Dm] [C] ([Am])
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's meant for you,
Then you d[Dm]rop what you were doing and you j[F]oin the merry m[C]ob,
And be[Dm]fore you know just where you are, you're [C]in an Irish [Dm]pub.
[CHORUS]
--------
They've got o[F]ne in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
[Dm] [C] ([Am])
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu.
So whe[Dm]ther you sing or pull a pint you'll al[F]ways have a j[C]ob,
'Cause wher[Dm]ever you go around the world you'll fin[C]d an Irish pu[Dm]b.
Verse 2 (All verses are played the same)
--------
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 your in an Irish pub the minute you're in the door,
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore.
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 3]
--------
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]
[VERSE 4]
--------
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]
