Great sound, Barry.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[E] It's great to _ [Bb] sing it here with you.
_ [Gb] _ _ [Bm] It's just kind of_
[Gb] _ _
[Bb] Very [B] amazing little [Eb] spot.
[Ab] I [Eb] just love that [G] song, I just [C] absolutely love it.
And [G] _
[Gb] even though Barry's been [E] singing it for 40 [Eb] years, it's as fresh as a daisy.
[G] _ [F] Beautiful sound.
[G] Beautiful, it's just [Ab] gorgeous.

[Bb] All literally cryin' their eyes out, cause they [Gb] just did not want to leave the place.
And I understood exactly [Eb] how they felt. _

is they cannot believe the welcome that they've been given.
And, _ so [G] there still is, _ [B] _ through [G] all the Celtic Tiger, through all the boom and [A] crash, through all [G] the struggles _ of life,
there still is the music, there still is the bar and there still is the landscape.
[Ab] The thing that's really [A] invigorated this [Gb] area for me [F] now is the _ surfin'.
_ _ [Ab] Not me [F] personally surfin', I've tried it, [Gb] but _ _ it's the energy, the young energy that's come into the area.
There's constant new blood comin' into this place.
[G] And you're right, [Ab] when I meet people who are [G] here for the first time and see how they react to it,
_ I'm brought [F] back to what it was like for me.
And I love it.
I absolutely love being in the company of
