[E] [G] [D] [C] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
Once upon a time, [D] some bright lights called to me,
[Em] And I dreamed of [C] future fortunes, [G] and of things that [D] I could be.
So [G] I left my little town, [D] thinking it would hold me down,
But [Em] my youth was [C] yet to teach me [G] that my feet were farther ground.
So I set [D] my sights [C] on a life in the [G] grand city,
Where [C] the streets [G] of promise [D] drew me in.
[Em] And the brightest [D] light lit [C] the path of my [G] ambition,
But [C] those streets [G] of promise [D] played a game I [G] couldn't win.
I lived the life, but over time, my [D] wishful heart began to find
[Em] That it's not [C] always easy to [G] leave those you love [D] behind.
And though [G] city streets were paved with gold, they went [D] and kept me on my toes,
[Em] And so it [C] seemed my new-found [G] dreams were treasures to behold.
So I set [D] my sights on [C] a life in the [G] grand city,
Where [C] the streets [G] of promise [D] drew me in.
[Em] And the brightest [D]
light lit [C] the path of my [G] ambition,
But [C] those streets [G] of promise played [D] a game I [G] couldn't win.
[D] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
Years went and passed me by, and it took [D] me time to realize
[Em] That all I [C] ever wanted was [G] back in the [D] emerald isle.
I packed [G] my bags with lessons learned, I headed [D] home to where I yearned.
[Em] Thank God above [C] for those I love [G] and blessed me to sire.
So I set [D] my sights on [C] a life back home [G] in Ireland,
On [C] its streets [G] of promise [D] I'll begin.
Now [Em] the starry [D] skies light [C] the path of my [G] ambition,
And [C] the streets [G] of promise [D] play a game that I [G] can win.
So I set [D] my sights on [C] a life [G] back home in Ireland,
On [C] its streets [G] of promise [D] I'll begin.
Now [Em] the starry [D] skies light [C] the path of my [G] ambition,
And [C] the streets [G] of promise play [D] a game that I [G] can win.
And [C] the streets [G] of promise play [D] a game that I [G] can win.
