Capo 3 Bb
I G can hear the D bells of G Dublin in this lonely D waiting G room
And the C paperboys are G singin' in the D rain
Not too G long be D fore they G take us to the D airport and the G noise
To C get on board a G trans D atlantic G plane
We've got D nothin' left to stay for, we had C no more left to G say
And there C isn't any G work for us to D do
So fare G well ye D boys and G girls; another bloody D Flight of G Earls
Our best C asset is G our best D export, G too....
It's G not murder, D fear or G famine that D makes us leave this G time
We're not C going to G join McAlpine's Fusi D liers
We've got G brains, and D we've got G visions; we've got D education, G too!
But we C just can't G throw D away these precious G years
So we D walk the streets of London, and the C streets of Balti G more
And we C meet at night in G several Boston D bars
We're the G leaders of the future, but we're D far away from G home
And we C dream of G you be D neath the Irish G stars
As G we look on D Ellis G Island, and the D Lady in the G bay
And Man C hattan turns to G face another D Sunday
We just G wonder D what you're G doing to bring D us all back G home
As C we look forward G to D another G Monday
Because it's D not the work that scares us
We don't C mind an honest G job
And we C know things will get G better once D again
So a G thousand D times G adieu, we've D got Bono and G U2
All we're C missing is the G Guinness, D and the G rain
So G switch off your D new G computers, cause the D writing's on the G wall
We're C leaving as our G fathers did D before
Take a G look at D Dublin G airport, or the D boat that leaves North G Wall
There'll be C no G Youth D Unemployment any G more
Because we're D over here in Queensland, and in C parts of New South G Wales
We're C on the seas, the G airways and the D trains
But if G we see D better G days, those big D airplanes go both G ways
And we'll C all be coming G back to D you G again
