Luck Of The Irish
Intro: G
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
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
G C G
If you could keep voices like flowers,
Bm D7
there'd be shamrock all over the world
G C G
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Bm D7 G
Then the world would be high as the Mountains of Mourne
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
G C G
If we could make chains with the morning dew,
Bm D7
the world would be like Galway Bay
G C G
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
Bm D7 G
the world would be one big Blarney stone
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
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
