room as we work hard for the craic

And getting up late on Sundays I 
D            A
never get to Mass

When Friday comes around he's

My ma would like a letter home but

[Verse 3]
        G           A             
And the only time I feel alright 
  D             A
is when I'm into drinking
   G             A            
It eases off the pain of it and 
  D             A
levels out my thinking

[Verse 4]
   G                A            
It almost breaks my heart when I 
D             A
think of Josephine
  G                   A           
I promised her I'd be coming home

with my pockets full of green

[Verse 5]
  G              A                
I dream I hear a piper playing or 
D            A
maybe it's a notion
  G                 A          
I dream I see white horses dance

upon that other ocean
