[Intro]
G C Em D
[Verse 1]
G C
Sometimes I still hear the sound of two drunk men
Em D
Echoing through an old song
G C
I still remember the sticky old tables
Em D
Smell of old ale on the floor
G C
Though it took to see my own home from an airplane
Em D
To realise it's all that I want
G C
And I had to leave home to see what was out there
Em D
Always had a foot out the door
[Chorus]
C G
And although overseas I can still feel the fire
Em D
Of that dirty old town and it burns
C G
Oh, d'fhág mé mo chroí where she's waiting for me
Em D
'Cause she knows that one day I'll return
C G
I know it feels like I left in a hurry
Em D
But that's just how she taught me goodbyes
C G
Oh, d'fhág mé mo chroí where she's waiting for me
Em C G
And I wish I could be there tonight
Em C G
Oh, I wish I could be there tonight
[Verse 2]
G C
I miss the faces and hi what’s the stories
Em D
From strangers that feel just like home
G C
I use the same old one-liners you taught me
Em D
While drinking on till the bar closed
G C
But now when I go home I sleep in a guest room
Em D
With photos of me in that house
G C
I miss the days when we ran through the garden
Em D
The way that my mother would shout
[Chorus]
C G
And although overseas I can still feel the fire
Em D
Of that dirty old town and it burns
C G
Oh, d'fhág mé mo chroí where she's waiting for me
Em D
'Cause she knows that one day I'll return
C G
I know it feels like I left in a hurry
Em D
But that's just how she taught me goodbyes
C G
Oh, d'fhág mé mo chroí where she's waiting for me
Em C G
And I wish I could be there tonight
Em C G
Oh, I wish I could be there tonight
[Break]
C G
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Em D
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
C G
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Em D
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
[Outro]
C G
I know it feels like I left in a hurry
Em D
But that's just how she taught me goodbyes
C G
Oh, d'fhág mé mo chroí where she's waiting for me
Em C G
And I wish I could be there tonight
Em C G
Oh, I wish I could be there tonight
