The Luck Of The Irish chords
John Lennon  1972  (Sometime In New York City)

G

       G       C           G
If you had the luck of the Irish
         Bm        C             D
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
           G        C           G
You should have the luck of the Irish
          D            D7        G
And you'd wish you was English instead!

                    C           G
A thousand years of torture and hunger
          Bm      C              D
Drove the people away from their land
  G            C          G
A land full of beauty and wonder
    D            D7         G      D  G     D  G
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!

                  C           G
If you could keep voices like flowers
           C                     G
There'd be shamrock all over the world
                   C           G
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
         C                          D7          G
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn

                  C           G
In the 'Pool they told us the story
        Bm        C         D
How the English divided the land
       G             C             G
Of the pain, and the death and the glory
        D        D7       G
And the poets of auld Eireland

                 C               G
If we could make chains with the morning dew
    C                          G
The world would be like Galway Bay
      C                       G
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
    C                      D7      G
The world would be one big Blarney Stone

                     C             G
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
        Bm        C            D
As they kill with God on their side
         G          C           G
Blame it all on the kids in the IRA
       D          D7       G     D    G    D   G
As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!

If you had the luck of the Irish
         Bm        C             D
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
           G        C           G
You should have the luck of the Irish
          D            D7        G
And you'd wish you was English instead!
          D            D7        G
Yes you'd wish you was English instead!
