The Murphys - Streets of promise

^GOnce upon a time some ^Dbright lights called to me, And I ^Emdreamed of future ^Cfortunes and the ^Gthings that I could ^Dbe So I ^Gleft my little town thinking ^Dit would hold me down, But my ^Emyouth was yet to ^Cteach me that my ^Gfeet were for the ground.

So I ^Gset my ^Dsights on a ^Clife in the grand ^Gcity, Where the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise drew me ^Din, And the ^Dbrightest light lit the ^Cpath of my am^Gbition, But those ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise played a ^Dgame I couldn't ^Gwin.

I ^Glived the life but over time my wishful ^Dheart began to find, That ^Emit's not always ^Ceasy to leave ^Gthose you love be^Dhind, Those city ^Gstreets were paved with gold they went and ^Dkept me on my toes And ^Emso it seems my ^Cnew-found dreams were ^Gtreasures to behold.

So I ^Gset my ^Dsights on a ^Clife in the grand ^Gcity, Where the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise drew me ^Din, And the ^Dbrightest light lit the ^Cpath of my am^Gbition, But those ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise played a ^Dgame I couldn't ^Gwin.

As years ^Gwent and passed me by it took me ^Dtime to realise That ^Emall I ever ^Cwanted was back ^Gin the Emerald ^DIsle, I packed my ^Gbags with lessons learned, I headed ^Dhome to where I yearned Thank ^EmGod above for ^Cthose I love and ^Gblessed native soil

So I ^Gset my ^Dsights on a ^Clife back home in ^GIreland, On the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise I'll ^Dbegin Now the ^Dstarry skies light the ^Cpath of my am^Gbition And the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise play a ^Dgame that I can ^Gwin.

So I ^Gset my ^Dsights on a ^Clife back home in ^GIreland, On the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise I'll ^Dbegin Now the ^Dstarry skies light the ^Cpath of my am^Gbition And the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise play a ^Dgame that I can ^Gwin.

And the ^Cstreets of ^Gpromise play a ^Dgame that I can ^Gwin.
