Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dm | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
             Dm
Well, you're walkin' through a city street,
    F             C
you could be in Peru
        Dm                             Am
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's meant for
C
you
         Dm                               F
Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry
   C
mob
      Dm                 C
And before you know just where you are,
       Dm
you're in an Irish pub

[Chorus]
            F
They've got one in Honolulu,
they've got one in Moscow too
         Dm                           Am               C
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
   Dm
So whether you sing or pull a pint,
       F             C
you'll always have a job
             Dm                     C/D          Dm
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an
Irish pub

[Verse 2]
C/D
Dm           Dm                           F
  Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the
C
same
            Dm                              Am
You'll have 'Razor Houghton' scoring in the Ireland,
        C
England game
        Dm                              F
And you know you're in an Irish pub the minute you're in
    C
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                           Am               C
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
   Dm
So whether you sing or pull a pint,
       F             C
you'll always have a job
             Dm                     C/D          Dm
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an
Irish pub

Dm        Dm                         F
  Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from
C
Cork
        Dm                                 Am
And the lad that's holding up the bar says 'Only Eejits
C
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

Dm
Now it's time for me to go,
  F                C
I have to catch me train
        Dm                              Am
So I'll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and
C
rain
         Dm
For I'll have that pint you owe me,
       F               C
if I'm not gone on the dry
        Dm                C                Dm
When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of
Athenry

[Chorus]
