[Intro]
Am C G x 4
[Verse]
Am C G Am C G
The first pub we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane
Am C G Am C G
A Virgin flight to Shannontown the day it didn't rain
Am C G Am C G
The laughing eyes of Ireland sparkling blue and green
Am C G Am C G
With hair as black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen
F E
We're back out on the cobblestones whiskey drunk and high
Dm G Am C G
Liquored up and gearing up for seven nights in Ireland
Am C G
[Verse]
Am C G Am C G
The corner booth is waiting for the session to begin
Am C G Am C G
It's quiet as a mother's prayer till we all stumble in
Am C G Am C G
And it's fifty happy voices mixed with whistles made of tin
Am C G Am C G
And a piper man is blowing like the North Atlantic wind
F E
And an Eire island beauty is sawing on the violin
Dm G Am C G
I wonder will she miss me after seven nights in Ireland
Am C G
F F Dm G
Am C G x 2
[Verse]
Am C G Am C G
It's Ladies' Day in Galway and we watched the ponies run
Am C G Am C G
Fifty pounds against the odds and came in six to one
Am C G Am C G
McSwiggin heard the race report, he invited us on in
Am C G Am C G
So we drank Catholic whiskey with all our newfound friends
F E
They raised a glass to all of us and we all toasted them
Dm G Am C G
Here's to Michael, Tom and Pat and seven nights in Ireland
Am C G
F F Dm G
Am C G x 2
[Verse]
Am C G Am C G
we kissed all the girls goodbye and gathered in our gear
Am C G Am C G
And when she walked me to the gate I swear I saw a tear
Am C G Am C G
But then she looked into my eyes I knew she felt my pain
Am C G Am C G
And only then I realized we were standing in the rain
F E
So save our places at the pub and when the eyes are dry
Dm G Am C G
We'll come back another day for seven nights in Ireland
[Outro]
