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
