Flight Of Earls Chords by Wolfe Tones

[C] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ I can [G] hear the [C] bells of Dublin in this lonely [C] waiting room
[F] and the paper [C] boys are singing [G] in the rain
Not [C] too [G] long [C] before they take us to the airport and the noise
[F] to get on [C] board a [G] [C] transatlantic [F] plane
[C] _ [G] We've got nothing left to stay for, [F] we have got no [C] left to say
[F] and there isn't [C] any work for us to [G] do
[C] So farewell [G] you [C] boys and girls, another [G] bloody [C] flight of airs
[F] Our best asset [C] is [G] our best [C] export [F] too
[C] _ It's not [G] murder, [C] fear or famine that [G] makes us [C] leave this time
[F] We're not going to [C] join McAlpine's [G] Fusiliers
[C] We've got [G] brains and [C] we've got vision, we've got [G] [C] education too
[F] But we just can't [C] throw [G] away these [C] precious [F] [C] years
[G] So we walk the streets of London [F] and the streets of [C] Baltimore
[F] And we meet at [C] night in several Boston [G] bars
_ [C] We're the [G] leaders [C] of the future, but we're [G] far [C] away from home
[F] And we dream of [C] you [G] beneath the [C] Irish [F] [C] stars
So _ [G] _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ [G] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ [A] [D] switch [A] off your [D] new computers, cause the [A] writing's [D] on the wall
[G] We're leaving [D] as our fathers did before
[A] Take [D] a [A] look at [D] Dublin Airport, or the [A] boat that [D] leaves Northwall
[G] There'll be no youth [D] [A] unemployment [D] anymore
[G] _ [D] _ [A] Because we're over here in Queensland [G] and in parts of [D] New South Wales
[G] We're on the [D] seas and airways and the [A] trays
[D] And if [A] we see [D] better days, those big [A] airplanes [D] go blaze
[G] And we'll all be [D] coming home [A] to [D] you [G] again
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
