He tended to play it live with Capo 5 using C, Fadd9 and G, so transposing -5 and using Fadd9 will match

A cool summer rain

Frees us from the heat

A full moon rising

Lights the darkened street

And it's just like you

C F Bb F

Yeah, it's just like you, Ireland

[Verse 2]

With your mandolin

It fills up the hall

Not a dry eye left

You killed them all

That's just like you

[Verse 3]

I don't need weapons

I don't need shields

I don't need control

Of the driving wheel

Not when I'm with you

C F Bb F

Not when I'm with you, Ireland

[Chorus]

When I'm with you

It feels so right

My wallet's full

On Friday night

My ship has docked

My kingdom's come

My hearts unlocked

And overrun

[Verse 4]

A bet is placed

On the slowest steed

Man, that horse wins the race

With record speed

And it's just like you

It's just like you, Ireland
