[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
            G          C                G
If you had the luck of the Irish
               Bm                                  D7
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
                    G             C             G
You should have the luck of the Irish
                  Bm                 D7             G
And you'd wish you was English instead

[Verse 2]
                    G             C              G
A thousand years of torture and hunger
                   Bm                              D7
Drove the people away from their land
     G               C                 G
A land full of beauty and wonder
           Bm             D7             G          C   G         C  G
Was raped by the British brigands - goddamn, goddamn

[Bridge]
    G                      C                 G
If you could keep voices like flowers,
                   C                                D7
there'd be shamrock all over the world
     G                       C               G
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
                 C                                        D7                   G
Then the world would be high as the Mountains of Mourne

[Verse 3]
           G             C               G
In the 'Pool they told us the story
               Bm                         D7
How the English divided the land
            G             C                    G
of the pain, the death and the glory
               Bm       D7         G
And the poets of old Ireland

[Bridge]
    G                        C                       G
If we could make chains with the morning dew,
        C                                       D7
the world would be like Galway Bay
            G            C                 G
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
        C                                   D7        G
the world would be one big Blarney stone

[Verse 4]
               G                 C                    G
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
             Bm                              D7
As they kill with God on their side
              G              C                  G
Blame it all on the kids and the IRA
            Bm                D7          G        C     G    C     G
As the bastards commit genocide - aye, aye, genocide

[Verse 5]
            G         C               G
If you had the luck of the Irish
               Bm                                    D7
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
                    G            C               G
You should have the luck of the Irish
                 Bm                 D7           G
And you'd wish you was English instead
                 Bm                  D7          G
Yes, you’d wish you was English instead
