[VERSE 1]
I [Em]walk through this [D]city a [C]strang[G]er,
in a [F]land I can [C]never call [G]hom[D]e
I [Em]curse the sad [D]notion that [C]caused [G]me
in [Em]search of my fortune to [D]roam.

[VERSE 2]
I'm [Em]weary of [D]working and [C]drink[G]ing,
with a [F]week's wages [C]spent in the [G]ba[D]r
And [Em]God it's a [D]shame for to [C]use a friend's [G]name
just to [Em]beg for the price of a [D]jar

[CHORUS]
I [Em]remember that [D]bright [C]April [G]morning,
when I [F]left home to [C]travel [G]af[D]ar
But to [Em]work till you're [D]dead for one [C]room and a [G]bed,
is not the [C]reason I [D]left Mullin[G]gar

[VERSE 3]
Oh, this [Em]London's a [D]city of [C]heart[G]break,
on [F]Friday there's [C]friends by the [G]sc[D]ore,
but [Em]when the pay's [D]finished on [C]Mond[G]ay,
a [Em]friend's not a friend any[D]more

[VERSE 4]
Oh, a [Em]working day [D]seems never [C]end[G]ing,
from the [F]shovel and [C]pick there's no [G]br[D]eak
But [Em]when you're not [D]working you're [C]spen[G]ding,
the [Em]fortune you left home to [D]make

[CHORUS]
I [Em]remember that [D]bright [C]April [G]morning,
when I [F]left home to [C]travel [G]af[D]ar
But to [Em]work till you're [D]dead for one [C]room and a [G]bed,
is not the [C]reason I [D]left Mullin[G]gar

[VERSE 5]
And for [Em]every one [D]here who finds [C]for[G]tune,
and [F]comes home to [C]tell of the [G]ta[D]le,
each [Em]morning the [D]broadway is [C]crow[G]ded
with [Em]many’s the thousands who [D]fail

[VERSE 6]
So, [Em]young men of [D]Ireland, take [C]war[G]ning,
in [F]London you [C]never will [G]fi[D]nd
the [Em]gold at the [D]end of the [C]rain[G]bow,
you [Em]might just have left it [D]behind

[CHORUS]
I [Em]remember that [D]bright [C]April [G]morning,
when I [F]left home to [C]travel [G]af[D]ar
But to [Em]work till you're [D]dead for one [C]room and a [G]bed,
is not the [C]reason I [D]left Mullin[G]gar
it's not th[C]e reason [D]I left Mull[G]ingar
