[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ I can hear [Ab] the bells of [Db] heaven _ in this lonely [Ab] waiting [Db] room, _
And [Gb] the paper boys [Db] are singing _ in [Ab] the rain. _
_ _ _ Not too [Db] long [Ab] before they take [Db] us _ to the airport [Ab] and the [Db] noise _ _
[Gb] To get on board [Db] a _
[Ab] _ transatlantic [Db] plane. _ _ _
_ _ We have [Ab] nothing left to stay for, we [Gb] have no more left to [Db] say,
_ And [Gb] there _ isn't any [Db] work for [Gb] us to [Ab] _ do. _ _ _
_ So [Db] farewell [Ab] you boys [Db] and girls, _ another bloody [Ab] flight of [Db] earls,
Our [Gb] best asset _ [Db] is our best [Ab]
export [Db] too. _ _ _ _ _
_ It's not murder, [Ab] fear [Db] or famine _ that makes us leave this time,
_ We're not [Gb]
going to join _ [Db] _ [Gb] MacAlpine's _
_ [Ab] _ _ fusiliers. _ _ _
We've [Db] got brains [Ab] and we've [Db] got vision, _ we've got _ [Ab] education _ [Db] too,
_ But we [Gb] just can't throw [Db] away [Ab] these precious _
[Db] _ years. _ _ _ _
So we [Ab] walk the streets of London _ and [Gb] the streets of _ [Db] Baltimore,
_ _ And [Gb] we meet at night [Db] in several _ _ [Ab] Boston _ bars. _ _ _ _
We're the [Db] _ [Ab] leaders of the [Db] future, _ but we're far [Ab] away from [Db] home,
And we [Gb] dream of you [Db] beneath the [Ab] Irish [Db] star.

_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ As [Eb] we look [Bb] on Ellis [Eb] Island _ and the lady in the bay,
_ And [Ab] Manhattan _ _ turns to [Eb] face _ [Ab] another [Bb] Sunday, _
_ _ _ _ We just [Eb] _
[Bb] wonder what you're [Eb] doing _ to bring us all back home,
_ As [Ab] we look [Eb] forward to [Bb] another _ [Eb] Monday. _ _
_ _ _ _ Because [Bb] it's not the work that scares us, we [Ab] don't mind an honest [Eb] job, _ _
And we [Ab] know things will get [Eb]
better _ once [Bb] _ again. _
_ _ _ So a [Eb] thousand _ times adieu, _ we've got Bono [Bb] and you [Eb] too, _
Now all we're [Ab] missing is the [Eb] _
[Bb] Guinness and the [Eb] rain. _ _
_ _ _ So switch off your [Bb] new [Eb] _ computers, because the _ [Bb] writing's on the [Eb] wall, _ _
[Ab] We're leaving as [Eb] our fathers _ did [Bb] _ before. _ _
_ _ _ Take [Eb] a look [Bb] at Dublin [Eb] Airport, _ or the boat [Bb] that leaves _ [Eb] Northwall, _
There'll be [Ab] no youth _ [Eb] unemployment _
[Bb] _ anymore.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Because we're [Bb] over here in Queensland _ and [Ab] in parts of New [Eb] South Wales, _
[Ab] We're on the seas [Eb] and _ airways and [Bb] the trains. _ _ _
_ _ But [Eb] if we [Bb] see better [Eb] days, _ those big [Bb] airplanes go both [Eb] _ ways,
And [Ab] we'll all be coming _ [Eb] home [Bb] to you _ [Eb] _ again. _ _ _
_ _ Yes, [Ab] we'll all be coming [Bb] home to _ you again.
