What Makes The Irish Heart Beat Chords & Lyrics - Van Morrison

[VERSE# 1]
[E]All that trouble all that [B7]grief

That's[A] why I had to leave[E]

Staying away too[F#7] long is in de[B7]feat

Why I'm [E]Singing this [B7]song

Why I'[A]m Heading Back h[E]ome

That's what makes the [B7]Irish heart beat[E]

[VERSE# 2]
I'm just like a hobo riding a train
I'm like a gangster living in Spain
Have to watch my back and I'm
running out of time
when roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat

[BRIDGE]
Well that'[A]s what makes it beat

when I'm[E] standing on the street

and I'm standing [F#7]underneath

this Wrigley's [B7]sign

Oh s[E]o far away from [B7]home

but I[A] know I've to roa[E]m

[E]that's what makes the

[B7]Irish heart bea[E]t

Solo: verse chords

[BRIDGE]

And it was off to foreign climbs
on the Piccadilly line
we where standing underneath
the Wrigley's sign
so far away from home
but know I've got roam
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat

[VERSE# 3]
Just like a sailor out on the foam
any port in a storm
where we tend to burn the candle
at both ends
Down the corridors of fame
like the spark ignites the flame
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat

But I roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat
Oh that's what make the
Irish heart beat
[E]That's what makes the
[B7] [A] [E] End
Irish heart beat
