Mother Mo Chro Pogues
[G] [Em] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
It was [G]1962, I was [C]two years out of [D]school
When I [G]got on board a boat that was [C]bound for Liver[D]pool
The [G]day we sailed away I re[C]member it so [D]well
Took a [G]look at the North [Em]Wall and [D]bid a fond fare[G]well
It's a [G]hard thing to leave the [C]land of your [G]childhood
Touched by the rivers and [Em]kissed by the [C]sea
The [G]places you [D]played with your [C]childhood com[G]panions
To [C]leave dear old [G]Ireland and [D]Mother Mo [G]Chroi?
Though I'm [G]going far away and I may [C]never re[G]turn here
There's one thing I always will [Em]keep within [C]me
[G]Deep in my [D]heart a [C]furious de[G]votion
The [C]love of old [G]Ireland and [D]Mother Mo [G]Chroi
[G]G [C]Em[G] C[D] D[G] G[Em] C [C]D [D](drop final measure)
[G] [Em] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
Though I'm [G]going away and I may [C]never re[G]turn here
There is always one thing that I will [Em]keep within [C]me
[G]Deep in my [D]heart a [C]furious [G]devotion
The [C]love of old [G]Ireland and [D]Mother Mo [G]Chroi
[G] [Em] [C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
On the [G]top of the Pentonville Road I [C]saw the sun [G]setting
The town laid out before me looked [Em]beautiful to [C]me
[G]Away from all the [D]sighing, the [C]suffering and the [G]dying
I [C]dreamed of the [G]future, the [D]young and the [G]free
But the [G]years they go by quickly, now I [C]know I can't re[G]main here
Where each day brings me closer to that [Em]final miser[C]y
My [G]kids will never scrape [D]shit round here, and I [C]won't die crying in a [G]pint of beer
I'm [C]going back to [G]Ireland and [D]Mother Mo [G]Chroi?
[G]G [C]Em[G] C[D] D[G] G[Em] C [C]D [D](drop final measure)
