[E] [B]
[A] [E]
All that trouble, all [B] that grief, [A] that's why I had to [E] leave.
Spent away too [F#]
long is in [B] defeat.
[E] While I'm singing this [B] song, [A] while I'm heading back [E] home,
that's what makes [B] the Irish [E] heart beat.
[F#m] [E]
I'm just like a hobo [B] riding a train.
[A] I'm like a gangster [E] living in Spain.
I have to watch my back [F#] and I'm running [B] out of time.
[E] When I roll the dice [B]
again, [A] plenty of luck will call [E] my name.
That's what makes [B] the Irish [E] heart beat.
[A] Well, that's what makes it beat [E] when I'm standing on the street
and I'm standing [F#] underneath this [B] Wrigley sign.
Oh, [E] [B] so far away from home, [A] but I know I've [E] got to roam.
That's what makes [B] the Irish [E] heart beat.

Yeah, [A] I was off to foreign climes [E] on the Piccadilly line.
We were standing [F#] underneath the Wrigley [B] sign.
[E] Oh, far away from [B] home, but [A] I know I've got to [E] roam.
That's what makes the [B] Irish [E] heart beat.
Just like a sailor [B] out on the foam,
[A] every port gonna [E] storm.
When we turn to [F#] burn the candle, it [B] will then
light [E] the corridors of [B] fame.
[A] Like the sparking [E] natural flame,
that's what makes [B] the Irish
[E] heart beat.
[B] [A]
[E]
[F#m] [B]
When [E] I roll the [B] dice again, plenty [A] of luck will call [E] my name.
That's what makes [B] the Irish [E] heart beat.
Oh, that's what makes [B] the Irish [E] heart beat.
One more time.
That's what makes the [B] Irish [A] heart beat.
