Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I [C]can
hear [G]the bells of [C]Dublin
In this lonely [G]waiting [C]room
And [F]the [C]paperboys are singin'
in [G]the rain[Gsus4][G]
Not too [C]long be[G]fore they take [C]us
To the airport [G]and the [C]noise
To [F]get on board [C]a transat
[G]lantic plane
[C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]
We've got [G]nothin' left to stay for
We have [F]no more left [C]to say
And there [F]isn't any [C]work for us [G]to do
So [C]farewell, you [G]boys and [C]girls
Another bloody [G]Flight of [C]Earls
Our best [F]asset is [C]our best [G]export, too
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
It's not murder, [G]fear or fam[C]ine
That makes us [G]leave this [C]time
We're not [F]going to
[C]Join [G]McAlpine'sFusileers
We've got [C]brains,
and [G]we've got [C]vision
We've got educa[G]tion, [C]too
But we [F]just can't throw
[C]Away these [G]precious [C]yea[F]rs[C]

[Verse 4]
So we [G]walk the streets of London
And [F]the streets of [C]Baltimore
And we [F]meet at night
[C]in several Boston [G]bars
We're [C]the leaders [G]of the fu[C]ture
But we're far [G]away from [C]home
And we [F]dream of you be[C]neath the [G]Irish

[Verse 5]
As we [D]look on [A]Ellis Is[D]land and
The Lady [A]in the [D]Bay
And Man[G]hattan turns [D]to face
another [Asus4]Sunday[A]
We just [D]wonder [A]what you're do[D]ing
For to bring us [A]all back [D]home
As [G]we look forward [D]to an
[A]other Monday
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Because it's [A]not the work that scares us
We don't [G]mind an honest [D]job
And we [G]know things will get
[D]better once [A]again[Asus4][A]
So a [D]thousand [A]times [D]adieu
We've got Bono [A]and [D]U2
And all we're [G]missin' is the
[D]Guinness [A]and the rain
[D][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]
So switch off your [A]new com[D]puters
'Cause the writing's [A]on the [D]wall
We're [G]leaving as our [D]fathers
did be[Asus4]fore[A]
Take a [D]look at [A]Dublin Air[D]port
Or the boat that [A]leaves North [D]Wall
There'll be [G]no Youth
[D]Unemployment [A]anymore
[D]Bec[G]aus[D]e we're over[A]
here in Queensland
And in [G]parts of New South [D]Wales
We're [G]on the seas and [D]airways
and the [A]trains
[Asus4]And if we[A] see bette[D]r days[A][D]
Those big airplanes [A]go both [D]ways
And we'll [G]all be coming [D]home to
[A]you again
