C              G        C
I can hear the bells of Dublin
               G       C
in this lonely waiting room
        F             C
And the paperboys are singin'
       G
in the rain
        C       G        C
Not too long before they take us
                   G   C
to the airport and the noise
   F
To get on board
  C        G       C
a trans at--lantic plane
          G
We've got nothin' left to stay for,
       F               C
We had no more left to say
          F         C              G
And there isn't any work for us to do
       C       G        C
So farewell ye boys and girls;
               G         C
Another bloody Flight of Earls
         F        C        G       C
Our best asset is our best export, too....

C                G       C
It's not murder, fear or famine
              G          C
that makes us leave this time
          F                C             G
We're not going to join Mc--Alpine's Fus--ileers
          C           G         C
We've got brains, and we've got visions;
              G        C
we've got edu--cation, too!
       F                  C          G        C
But we just can't throw a--way these precious years
      G
So we walk the streets of London,
        F                C
And the streets of Balti--more
       F                C              G
And we meet at night in several Boston bars
          C       G      C
We're the leaders of the future
                G         C
But we're far a--way from home
       F               C          G     C
And we dream of you be--neath the Irish stars

F C G C

C              G       C
As we look on El--lis Is--land,
             G      C
and the Lady in the bay
       F               C            G
And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday
        C      G           C
We just wonder what you're doing
            G        C
to bring us all back home
   F               C    G       C
As we look forward to a--nother Monday
             G
Because it's not the work that scares us
         F              C
We don't mind an honest job
       F                    C             G
And we know things will get better once a--gain
     C        G      C                    G   C
So a thousand times adieu, We've got Bono and U2
          F              C         G       C
All we're missin' is the Guinness, and the rain

F C G C

C                  G      C
So switch off your new computers
                    G      C
cause the writing's on the wall
      F              C              G
We're leaving as our fathers did be--fore
       C       G      C
Take a look at Dublin airport,
                 G            C
or the boat that leaves North Wall
            F              C        G   C
There'll be no Youth Unemp--loyment any more
              G
Because we're over here in Queensland,
       F                  C
And in parts of New South Wales
      F               C               G
We're on the seas and airways and the trains
       C      G      C
But if we see better days,
                    G       C
Those big airplanes go both ways
          F             C       G     C       F C
And we'll all be comin' back to you a--gain!
