The Wolfe Tones - Flight of earls

^CI can hear the ^Gbells of ^CDublin in this lonely ^Gwaiting ^Croom And the ^Fpaperboys are ^Csingin' in the ^Grain Not too ^Clong bef^Gore they ^Ctake us to the airport and ^Gthe n^Coise To ^Fget on board a ^Ctransatl^Gantic ^Cplane We've got ^Gnothin' left to stay for, We had ^Fno more left to ^Csay And there ^Fisn't any ^Cwork for us to ^Gdo So fare^Cwell ye ^Gboys and ^Cgirls; Another bloody ^GFlight of ^CEarls Our best ^Fasset is ^Cour best ^Gexport, ^Ctoo....

^CIt's not murder, ^Gfear or ^Cfamine that makes us ^Gleave this ^Ctime We're not ^Fgoing to join Mc^CAlpine's Fusi^Gleers We've got ^Cbrains, and ^Gwe've got ^Cvisions; we've got edu^Gcation, ^Ctoo! But we ^Fjust can't throw a^Cway these ^Gprecious ^Cyears So we ^Gwalk the streets of London, And the ^Fstreets of Balti^Cmore And we ^Fmeet at night in ^Cseveral Boston ^Gbars We're the ^Cleaders ^Gof the ^Cfuture But we're far a^Gway from ^Chome And we ^Fdream of you be^Cneath the ^GIrish ^Cstars

^CAs we look on ^GEllis ^CIsland, and the Lady ^Gin the ^Cbay And Man^Fhattan turns to ^Cface another ^GSunday We just ^Cwonder ^Gwhat you're ^Cdoing to bring us ^Gall back ^Chome As ^Fwe look forward ^Cto a^Gnother ^CMonday Because it's ^Gnot the work that scares us We don't ^Fmind an honest ^Cjob And we ^Fknow things will get ^Cbetter once a^Ggain So a ^Cthousand ^Gtimes a^Cdieu, We've got Bono ^Gand ^CU2 All we're ^Fmissin' is the ^CGuinness, ^Gand the ^Crain

^CSo switch off your ^Gnew com^Cputers cause the writing's ^Gon the ^Cwall We're ^Fleaving as our ^Cfathers did be^Gfore Take a ^Clook at ^GDublin ^Cairport, or the boat that ^Gleaves North ^CWall There'll be ^Fno Youth Unem^Cployment ^Gany ^Cmore Because we're ^Gover here in Queensland, And in ^Fparts of New South ^CWales We're ^Fon the seas and ^Cairways and the ^Gtrains But if ^Cwe see ^Gbetter ^Cdays, Those big airplanes ^Ggo both ^Cways And we'll ^Fall be comin' ^Cback to ^Gyou a^Cgain! ^{F C}
