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

[Verse 1]
I can [C]hear the [G]bells of Dub
[C]lin in this lonely [G]waiting [C]room
And the pa[F]per boys are [C]singing in the [G]rain
Not too [C]long be[G]fore [C]they take us
to the airport [G]and [C]the noise
[F]To get on board [C]a trans-Atlantic [G]plane
[C]plane[F][C]
We've got [G]nothing left to stay
for [F]and no more left to [C]say
And there [F]isn't any [C]work for us [G]to do
So [C]farewell [G]you boys and [C]girls
Another bloody [G]flight of [C]Earls
Our best [F]asset is [C]nore our
best [G]export [C]too[F][C]
[G]It's not [C]murder, [G]fear,
nor fam[C]ine that makes us [G]leave this [C]time
We're not [F]going to join Mac
[C]Alpines [G]Fusiliers
We've got [C]brains and [G]we've got vis[C]ion,
we've got educa[G]tion [C]too
But [F]we just can't throw [C]away
these [G]precious [C]years
So we [G]walk the streets of London
and [F]the streets of Bal[C]timore
And we [F]meet at night
[C]in several Boston [G]bars
We're [C]the leaders [G]of the fu[C]ture though
we're far [G]away from [C]home
And [F]we dream of you be[C]neath
the [G]Irish [C]stars[F][C][F][C][G][C]
As we look on [G]Ellis [C]Island and
the Lady [G]in [C]the bay
[F]And Manhatten turns to
[C]face another [G]Sunday
We [C]just think of [G]what you're
[C]doing to bring us [G]all back [C]home
As [F]we look forward [C]to an
[G]other [C]Monday[F][C]
For it's [G]not the work that scares us,
we don't [F]mind an honest [C]job
And [F]we know things will
get [C]better once [G]again
So a [C]thousand [G]times adieu,
[C]we've got Bono and[G] U2[C]
All we're [F]missing is
[C]the Guinness [G]and the [C]rain
So switch off [G]your new com[C]puters
for the writing's [G]on the [C]wall
We're [F]leaving as our [C]fathers did be[G]fore
Take [C]a look at [G]Dublin [C]airport or the
boat that [G]leaves North [C]Wall
There'll [F]be no youth unemploy
[C]ment any[G]mor[C]e
For we're [G]over here in Queensland and
in [F]parts of New South [C]Wales
We're [F]on the seas, the [C]airways,
and [G]the trains
But if [C]we see [G]better [C]days,
those big airplanes [G]go both [C]ways
And [F]we'll all be coming
[C]back to [G]you [C]again
Yes [F]we'll all be coming [C]back to [G]you again
[C]
