[Verse 1]

Father was a singing man, most of what he sang

Had to do with Ireland, the place from where he came

Ireland of his childhood, Ireland of his spring
C G (B)(C)(D) C
To return to Ireland was his dream
[Chorus]

Drink a round to Ireland boys, I'm home___ again

Drink a round to Jesus Christ, who died for Irishmen
[Verse 2]

I guess he left his dreams to me after he was gone
D G (B)(C)(D)
And there were many years to come where I sang my father's song

Lately I've been wondering why I stay

Dad, I think you're fortunate your dreams did not come true
D G (B)(C)(D) C

If you could see the murder here, if you could feel the pain
C G (B)(C)(D) C
To see the way we live would bring you shame
[Chorus]
D G G/A G/B C G/B D7 C
Drink a round to Ireland boys, I'm home___ again
