Verse 1
C
G
I was
G
C
when I went out to Dublin
G
Em
With a fistful of money
G
D
and a cartload of dreams
G
C
Take your time, said me father,
G
C
stop rushing like hell
Em
D
G
all's not what it seems to be
D
For those fellas would cut you
C
G
for the cones on your back
D
Or the watch that you got from your mother
G
C
So take care, my young bucko,
G
C
and mind yourself well
G
D
G
Will you give this sweet note to me, brother?
Am
C
G
was a policeman in Brooklyn
D
And my father, the youngest,
C
D
looked after the farm
G
C
Then a phone call from America
G
C
said send the lad over
G
Em
And the old fella said sure it
D
G
wouldn't do any harm
C
For I spent my life working
C
For a few pints of porter
And sure baby there's
C
G
something you'll learn
or you'll see
C
G
Em
And you can bring it back home,
D
G
C
G
make it easy on me
D
G
C
So I landed at Kennedy
G
C
and a big yellow taxi
G
Em
Carried me and me bag s
G
D
through the streets and the rain
G
Am
Well me poor heart was pumping
G
C
around with excitement
G
Em
And I hardly even heard
D
G
what the driver was saying
D
We came in the short parkway
G
C
G
D
to my uncle's apartment on East 53rd,
G
Am
C
G
C
I was feeling so happy, I was humming a song,
G
D
G
and I sang you this Brie Elsie Bird.
D
Well, it's short in the story,
C
G
what I found out that day,
C
D
in a downtown parade.
G
Am
C
And while I was flyin'
G
C
my way to New York
G
Em
For revenge he was lyin'
D
G
in a cold city morgue
C
Well I phoned up the old fella,
C
I could tell he could hardly
C
And he wept as he told me
C
G
And sure not to forget,
Em
D
G
C
G
D
be a proud Irish man
G
Am
So I went up to Nelly's
C
Am
G
C
beside Fordham Road
G
Em
And I started to learn
G
D
about lifting the load
G
Am
But the healthiest thing
G
C
that I carried that year
G
Em
Was the bittersweet thoughts
D
G
of my hometown so dear
D
I went home that December
C
G
cause the old fella died
Had to borrow the money
G
C
And all the bright flowers
G
C
and grass couldn't hide
G
D
G
The poor wasted face of me father
D
I sold off the old farmyard
C
G
for what it was worth
D
C
D
And into my bag stuck a handful of herb
G
Am
Then I boarded a train
C
G
C
and I caught me a plane
Em
D
G
in the U .S. again
G
D
correct knife and fork
C
G
C
the green grass and the rivers
G
Em
As I keep law and order
D
G
C
G
in the streets of New York
D
G
Am
