All that trouble all that grief

Staying away too stong is in defeat

Why I'm heading back home

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

I'm like a gangster living in Spain
Have to watch my back and I'm

running out of time

When I roll the dice again
A E
If lady luck will call my name

Well that's what makes it beat
A E
When I'm standing on the street
And I'm standing underneath this

Wrigley's sign

Oh so far away from home
A E
But I know I've got to roam

And it was off to foreign climes
A E
On the Piccadilly line
We were standing underneath the

So far away from home

Just like a sailor out on the foam

Any port in a storm

Where we tend to burn the candle

at both ends

Down the corridors of fame

Like the spark ignites the flame

If lady luck will call my name

Oh, that's what makes the Irish
E
heart beat
E7 B7
That's what makes the Irish
E
heart beat
