The Luck of the Irish John Lennon
Luck Of The Irish
Intro: G
[G]If you had the l[C]uck of the Irish[G]
You'd be s[Bm]orry and wish you were d[D7]ead
You should h[G]ave the lu[C]ck of the I[G]rish
And you'd w[Bm]ish you was E[D7]nglish inst[G]ead
[G]A thousand years of [C]torture and hu[G]nger
Drove the [Bm]people away from their l[D7]and
A l[G]and full of [C]beauty and [G]wonder
Was [Bm]raped by the [D7]British brig[G]ands - [C]godd[G]amn, [C]godd[G]amn
[G]If you could kee[C]p voices like flow[G]ers,
there'd be[Bm] shamrock all over the w[D7]orld
If you could[G] drink dre[C]ams like Ir[G]ish streams
Then the wo[Bm]rld would be h[D7]igh as the [G]Mountains of Mourne
[G]In the 'Pool they [C]told us the stor[G]y
How the En[Bm]glish divided the l[D7]and
of the pa[G]in, the de[C]ath and the g[G]lory
And the poe[Bm]ts of old Ire[D7]land[G]
[G]If we could make c[C]hains with the m[G]orning dew,
the wo[Bm]rld would be like Galway[D7] Bay
Let's wa[G]lk over ra[C]inbows like[G] leprechauns,
the w[Bm]orld would be [D7]one big Bla[G]rney stone
[G]Why the hell are th[C]e English there [G]anyway?
As they [Bm]kill with God on their s[D7]ide
Blame it a[G]ll on the [C]kids and the [G]IRA
As the b[Bm]astards [D7]commit gen[G]ocide - a[C]ye, [G]aye, [C]genoc[G]ide
[G]If you had the l[C]uck of the Irish[G]
You'd be s[Bm]orry and wish you were d[D7]ead
You should h[G]ave the lu[C]ck of the I[G]rish
And you'd w[Bm]ish you was E[D7]nglish inst[G]ead
Yes, you?d w[Bm]ish you was E[D7]nglish inst[G]ead
