Chords with lyrics
This tab uses the Broadway Version Lyrics but should work for the West End version too
For the MTI junior version don't use a capo
Bb F
Love You're lost without your love
Gm
Your heart is on the floor
Eb
I can help you
Bb
I've been there before!
F
When I need to relax
Gm
I just put on some tracks
Ab
From this CD I bought for the store
C G
(Isn't that relaxing? It's called CELTIC MOODS!)
Am G C F C G
C
When I'm lonely or feeling dejected
F G
I play this and it never fails
Am G C
I pretend like I'm in Ireland
F G
With Enya and the whales
C
When my telephone gets disconnected
F G
Or I spend every night alone
Am G C
I pretend like I'm in Ireland
F G C
Where the Irish bagpipes drone
Eb F Gm Dm
Smell the grass as a rainstorm is endin'
Eb F Bb
People smile while I stroll past their farms
Bbm Fm
With a redheaded sailor named Brendan
D G
And we dance without moving our arms
C
In a bar once I met this guy Dewey
F G
And he bought me like 14 beers
Am G C
And he told me that he was from Ireland
F G
So I lived with him 10 years
C
If I squinted he looked like my sailor
F G
Through my boozy delusional fog
Am G C
But he dumped me for some slut named Kayla
F G C
Took my trailer and took my dog
Eb F Gm Dm
In Ireland they know how to love you
Eb F Bb
You embrace in the misty Irish breeze
Bbm Fm
And if your Irish boy tires of you
D G
You're allowed to shoot him in the knees
Db
Hey, you look like that poster for Ireland
Gb Ab
Long blonde hair and the sweet sunny face
A#m Ab Db
Oh no wait that's the poster for Sweden
Gb Ab
Oh screw it. I'll never see either place!
Db
But a girl sweet as you has a future
Gb Ab
You have hope as each new day dawns
A#m Ab Db
Girls like you always get to see Ireland
Gb Ab Db
Give my love to the leprechauns
