  			E 
All that trouble all that grief 
         A            E 
That's why I had to leave 
                         E7   B7 
Staying away too stong is in defeat 
        E                    
Why I'm singing this song 
           A           E 
Why I'm heading back home 
                  E7    B7         E     
That's what makes the Irish heart beat 


E 
I'm just like a hobo riding a train 
              A                 E 
I'm like a gangster living in Spain 
                                       
Have to watch my back and I'm  
            E7  B7 
running out of time 
        E 
When I roll the dice again 
               A           E 
If lady luck will call my name 
                  E7    B7 
That's what makes the Irish heart  
  E 
beat 

E 
Well that's what makes it beat 
             A             E 
When I'm standing on the street 
                             
And I'm standing underneath this  
     E7     B7 
Wrigley's sign 
     E 
Oh so far away from home 
            A           E 
But I know I've got to roam 
                   E7   B7 
That's what makes the Irish heart  
  E 
beat 


E 
And it was off to foreign climes 
         A          E 
On the Piccadilly line 
                            
We were standing underneath the  
     E7    B7 
Wrigley's sign 
     E 
So far away from home 
            A           E 
Well I know I've got to roam 
                   E7    B7 
That’ s what makes the Irish  
       E 
heart beat 

E 
Just like a sailor out on the foam 
      A          E 
Any port in a storm 
               E7             
Where we tend to burn the candle  
        B7 
at both ends 
      E 
Down the corridors of fame 
               A            E 
Like the spark ignites the flame 
                 E7     B7 
That's what makes the Irish  
       E 
heart beat 

E 
But I roll the dice again 
           A               E 
If lady luck will call my name 
             E7         B7 
That s what makes the Irish  
       E 
heart beat 
                 E7         B7 
Oh, that's what makes the Irish  
        E 
heart beat 
                  E7    B7 
That's what makes the Irish  
        E 
heart beat
