Verse 1
I (C major) was (D minor) (C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (G major) (C major)
eighteen years (D minor) old
when I (C major) went down to Dub (F major) lin
With a (C major) fistful of (A minor) money
and a (D minor) cartload of dream (G major) s
Take your (C major) time, said my (D minor) father,
stop (A minor) brushing like hell
(F major) And re (C major) member all is (A minor) not
what it seem (G major) s to (C major) be
Cause those (G major) fellas would cut (A minor) you
for the (F major) cord on your back (C major)
Or the (F major) watch that you got (A minor) from your (G major) mother
So take (C major) care, my young (D minor) bucko,
and (C major) mind yourself well
(F major) And (C major) will you give this,
we know, (G major) to my brother (C major) (F major)
(C major) At the (G major) time
Uncle Benji was a (F major) policeman in Brook (C major) lyn
And my (G major) father, the youngest,
looked (F major) after the farm (G major)
Then a (C major) phone call from Amer (D minor) ica said,
(C major) send the lad over
(F major) And the (C major) old fella said,
(A minor) sure it wouldn't (G major) do any harm (C major)
For I've (F major) spent my life
(G major) working this (C major) dirty old ground
For a (F major) few pints of (G major) porter
and the smell (C major) of a pound
So maybe there's (D minor) something
up (C major) there you'll see
(F major) And you can bring (C major) it back home,
(A minor) make it (G major) easy on me (C major) (A major)
So I (D major) landed at (E minor) Kennedy,
(D major) a big yellow tax (G major) i
Carried (D major) me and my bag (B minor) s
through the (E minor) streets and the rain (A major)
And my (D major) poor heart was (E minor) thumping around
(D major) with excitement
(G major) And I (D major) hardly even (B minor) heard
what the (A major) driver was saying
(D major) We came (A major) in the short path (B minor) way
to the (G major) slatlands in Brooklyn
(D major) To my (G major) uncle's apart (B minor) ment on (A major) East 53rd
I was (D major) feelin' so happy, (E minor)
I was (D major) singin' a song
(G major) And I sang (D major) Eurys (A major) theia's a -burn (D major) in'
Well, to shorten (G major) the (A major) story,
what I (D major) found out that day
Benji (G major) got shot (A major) down in (D major) an uptown foray
And when I was (E minor) flying away (D major) to New York
(G major) Poor (D major) Benjy was ly (B minor) ing
in a (A major) cold city morgue (D major)
So I (G major) phoned up the (A major) old fella,
(D major) told him the news
I could (G major) tell he got (A major) ugly style (D major) up in his shoes
And he went as he (E minor) told me,
go ahead (D major) with the plan
(G major) And (D major) not to forget,
(B minor) what was (A major) I put to plan (D major) (B major)
So I (E major) went up to (F sharp minor) Nelly's beside (E major) Fountain Row
(A major) And I star (E major) ted to (C sharp minor) learn
about (F sharp minor) lifting the (B major) load
But the (E major) heaviest (F sharp minor) thing that
I car (E major) ried that year
(A major) Were the (E major) bittersweet thought (C sharp minor) s
of my (B major) hometown so dear (E major)
I went (B major) home that Decem (C sharp minor) ber
cause the (A major) old fella died
Had (E major) to (A major) borrow the money
(C sharp minor) from Phil (B major) on the South
And (E major) all the bright (F sharp minor) flowers
and grass (E major) couldn't hide
(A major) The (E major) poor wasted face (B major) of my father (E major)
So I (A major) saw the oil (B major) from your fur,
(E major) well it was worse
And in (A major) to my bag (B major) s took a
(E major) handful of herbs
And I got me a (F sharp minor) train,
and I (E major) boarded a plane
(A major) And I found (E major) myself back (C sharp minor)
in the (B major) US again (E major)
It's been (A major) 22 years (B major) since
I (E major) set foot in Dublin
And my (A major) kids know to use (B major) the cor
rect (E major) knife and fork (Esus4)
But (E major) I'll never forget
(F sharp minor) the green (E major) grass and the (A major) rivers
As I (E major) keep law and or (C sharp minor) der
in the (B major) streets of New (E major) York (A major) (E major) (A major) (E major) (F sharp minor) (E major) (A major)
(E major) (C sharp minor) (F sharp minor) (B major) (E major) (F sharp minor) (E major) (A major) (E major)
(C sharp minor) (B major)
You
