Verse 1:
A
They wear green
                D
And they are    beautiful
                E                        A
And their       hearts are filled with   love
                A               D
They're as      pure as any     lilly
                E               A
And as          gentle as the   dove
                A                       D
They'll         sing and cheer in harmony
                E                       A
Till their      throats are cracked &   sore
                A       
But there       is no doubt
        D
You'll  hear them shout
        E                       A
When    Jackie's heroes         score

Chorus:
        D               A
Too-ra-Loo      Too-ra-Loo
                D               A
And we'll       follow Jack's   heroes
        E               A
What-   ever they       do

From    anywhere at     all,

On Sar  dinia's sunny   shore

To      win, to lose, to        draw

For we're       here to take the        World Cup

To      Paddy's shamrock        shore
