Filght Of The Earls  Misc. Irish














THE FLIGHT OF EARLS       




      C        G7       C                        G       C


I can hear the bells of Dublin, from this lonely waiting room


        F              C              G


And the paper boys are singing in the rain


        C      G7        C                        G       C


Not too long before they takes us, to the airport and the noise


   F              C      G      C


To get on board a transatlantic plane




          G                                 F               C                          


We've got nothing left to stay for; we have no more left to say      


          F         C              G


And there isn't any work for us to do


       C       G7        C                     G         C


So farewell you boys and girls, another bloody flight of Earls


         F        C        G      C


Our best asset is our best export too




         C       G7        C                    G          C


It's not murder, fear, nor famine that makes us leave this time


          F               C        G


We're not going to join McAlpine's Fusiliers


          C         G7         C                    G      C


We've got brains and we've got vision, we've got education too


       F                C          G        C


But we just can't throw away these precious years


      G                                  F             C                          


So we walk the streets of London and the streets of Baltimore


       F                C              G


And we meet at night in several Boston bars


          C       G7     C                     G         C


We're the leaders of the future, but we're far away from home


       F            C           G     C


And we dream of you beneath the Irish stars




      D       A      D                  A      D


As we look on Ellis Island and the lady in the bay


       G               D            A


And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday


        D      A           D                  A        D


We just wonder what you're doing, to bring us all back home


   G               D    A     D


As we look forward to another Monday


     A                                     G              D                          


It's not the work that scares us; we don't mind an honest job


       G                    D             A


And we know things will get better, once again


     D        A      D                    A   D


So a thousand times adieu, we've got Bono and U2


          G              D        A       D


All we're missing is the Guinness and the rain




          D        A      D                         A      D


So switch off your new computers, for the writing's on the wall


      G              D             A 


We're leaving as our fathers did before


       D       A      D                         A            D


Take a look at Dublin Airport and the boat that leaves North Wall


            G            D        A   D


There'll be no youth unemployment anymore


              A                               G                  D                          


Because we're over here in Queensland, and in parts of New South Wales


             G         D                A


We're on the seas, the airways, and the trains


       D      A      D                         A       D


And if we see better days, those big airplanes go both ways


          G             D       A    D


And we'll all be coming home to you again
