Filght Of The Earls Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

C I can hear G7the bells ofC Dublin, In the lonely waGiting room C

F And the papGsus4er boys are singinGg in the rain

C Not G7too long before tChey take us, to tGhe airport and tChe noise

F To get on boarG7d that transatlanCtic plane

G We've got nothing left to stay fFor, We have no more left toC say

F And there isn't any work foGr us to do

C So farewG7ell ye boys Cand girls, anotherG bloody flight of EaCrls

G7 Aaragh, this passage isC our best export too

It's not murder, fear or famine, that makes us leave this time,

We're not going to join McAlpines fusiliers

We've got brains, and we've got visions, we've got education too,

But we just can't waist these precious years

So we walk the streets of London, and the streets of Baltimore,

And we meet at night at several Boston bars

We're the leaders of the future, but we're far away from home

And we dream of you beneath the Irish stars

As we look on Ellis island, and the Lady in the Bay

As Manhatten turns to face another Sunday

We're wondering what you're doing, for to bring us all back home

As we look forward to another Monday

Because it's not the work that scares us, We don't mind an honest job

And I know things will get better once again

So a thousand times Adieu

We've got Bono and U2

All we're missing is the Guiness and the rain

So switch off your new computers, for the writings on the wall

We're leaving as our fathers did before

Take a look at Dublin airport, or the boat theat leaves North Wall

There'll be no youth unemployment anymore

Because we're over here in Queensland, and parts of New South Wales

We're on the seas and airways and the trains

But if we see better days, those big airplanes go both ways

And we'll all be coming back to you again

Yes, we'll all be coming back to you again
