The Irish Pub
The High Kings
Capo 3 (optional)
[Verse]
Well you're waDmlkin' through a city street, you coFuld be in PCeru
And you hDmear a distant calling and you kCnow it's meant for yAmou,
Then you dDmrop what you were doing and you jFoin the merry mCob,
And beDmfore you know just where you are, you're Cin an Irish Dmpub.
[Chorus]
They've got oFne in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got fDmour of them in Sydney and a coCuple in KathAmmandu.
So wheDmther you sing or pull a pint you'll alFways have a jCob,
'Cause wherDmever you go around the world you'll finCd an Irish puDmb.
[Verse]
Now that Dmdesign is fairly simple and it Fusually works the Csame,
You'll Dmhave "Razor Houghton" scoring in Cthe Ireland - England gaAmme
And you kDmnow your in an Irish pub the minute Fyou're in the dooCr,
For a Dmcouple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering CChristy DmMoore.
[Chorus]
They've got oFne in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got fDmour of them in Sydney and a coCuple in KatAmhmandu.
So wheDmther you sing or pull a pint you'll alFways have a jCob,
'Cause wherDmever you go around the world you'll finCd an Irish puDmb.
[Verse]
Now the Dmowner is Norwegian and the Fmanager comes from CCork,
And the Dmlad that's holding up the Cbar says 'Only Eejits AmWork'
He was Dmborn and bred in Bolton but his Fmammy's from KilCdare,
And he's Dmgoing to make his fortune soon and Cmove to County CDmlare.
[Chorus]
They've got oFne in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got fDmour of them in Sydney and a coCuple in KathAmmandu.
So wheDmther you sing or pull a pint you'll alFways have a jCob,
'Cause wherDmever you go around the world you'll finCd an Irish puDmb.
[Verse]
Now it's Dmtime for me to go I have to Fcatch me tCrain,
So I'll Dmleave ye sitting at the Cbar and face the wind and Amrain,
For DmI'll have that pint you Fowe me, if I'm not gone on the Cdry,
When we Dmmeet next week in Frankford in the Cfields of AthenDmry.
[Chorus]
They've got oFne in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got fDmour of them in Sydney and a coCuple in KatAmhmandu.
So wheDmther you sing or pull a pint you'll alFways have a jCob,
'Cause wherDmever you go around the world you'll finCd an Irish puDmb.
