Verse 1
A
I can
D
A
hear the bells of Dublin
D
A
In this lonely waiting room
D
G
D
A
And the paper boys are singing in the rain
D
A
D
Not too long before they take us
A
D
To the airport and the noise
G
D
To get on board a transat
A
D
lantic plane
A
We've got nothing left to stay for
G
We've got no more left to say
D
G
D
A
And there isn't any work for us to do
D
A
So farewell you boys and girls
D
A
D
And now the bloody flight of worlds
G
D
A
D
A
Our best asset is our best export too
D
A
D
It's not murder, fear or famine
A
D
That makes us leave this time,
G
we're not going to join Mc
D
A
Alpine's fusiliers
D
A
We've got dreams and
D
we've got vision,
A
we've got education too
D
G
And we just can't throw away
D
A
D
these precious years
A
So we walk the streets of London
G
and the streets of Baltimore
D
G
And we meet at night
D
A
in several Boston bars
D
A
We're the leaders of the future
D
A
D
but we're far away from home
G
And we dream of you
D

As we look on Ellis Island
E
B
E
and the lady in the bay
A
And Manhattan turns to
E
B
face another Sunday
E
B
We just wonder what
E
you're doing
B
She'd bring us all back home
E
A
B
As we look forward to
E
another Monday
B
Cause it's not the work that scares us,
A
we don't mind an honest job
E
A
And we know things will
E
B
get better once again
E
B
E
So a thousand times adieu,
B
we've got vinyl an d YouTube
E
A
Then all we're missing is
B
E
B
the gas and the rain
E
B
E
So switch off your new computer
B
E
Cause the writings on the wall
A
E
B
Were leaving as our fathers did before
E
B
Take a look at Dublin Airport
E
B
For the boat that leaves
E
Northwall
A
There'll be no youth unem
E
B
E
ployment anymore
B
Because we're over here in Queensland
A
E
And in parts of New South Wales
A
We're on the seas an
E
B
d airways and the trains
E
B
E
But if we see better days

Those vacant planes go by, please

We'll all be coming back to you again
