What Makes The Irish Heat Beat

  E
All that trouble all that grief
         A            E
That's why I had to leave
                         E7   B7
Staying away too stong is in defeat
        E
Why I'm singing this song
           A           E
Why I'm heading back home
                  E7    B7         E
That's what makes the Irish heart beat

E
I'm just like a hobo riding a train
              A                 E
I'm like a gangster living in Spain

Have to watch my back and I'm
            E7  B7
running out of time
        E
When I roll the dice again
               A           E
If lady luck will call my name
                  E7    B7
That's what makes the Irish heart
  E
beat

E
Well that's what makes it beat
             A             E
When I'm standing on the street

And I'm standing underneath this
     E7     B7
Wrigley's sign
     E
Oh so far away from home
            A           E
But I know I've got to roam
                   E7   B7
That's what makes the Irish heart
  E
beat

E
And it was off to foreign climes
         A          E
On the Piccadilly line

We were standing underneath the
     E7    B7
Wrigley's sign
     E
So far away from home
            A           E
Well I know I've got to roam
                   E7    B7
That' s what makes the Irish
       E
heart beat

E
Just like a sailor out on the foam
      A          E
Any port in a storm
               E7
Where we tend to burn the candle
        B7
at both ends
      E
Down the corridors of fame
               A            E
Like the spark ignites the flame
                 E7     B7
That's what makes the Irish
       E
heart beat

E
But I roll the dice again
           A               E
If lady luck will call my name
             E7         B7
That s what makes the Irish
       E
heart beat
                 E7         B7
Oh, that's what makes the Irish
        E
heart beat
                  E7    B7
That's what makes the Irish
        E
heart beat
