look like god in the dark

as they glow

   on the streets of Dublin

E                   B       A             B
The dealers hawkin' and the dockers yellin'

E                   B       A         B
the buskers bangin' and the ragmen ringin' bells,

C#m                               E           Bsus
and there's Maureen whose door is always open for

E              B        A            B
And Tony Kiely with his racing pigeons.

He swears they travel for a hundred miles or more.

B A     G#m
I don't know

            C#m            G#m   F#m
The kind of words that you might say

          A         B   G#m
but I can put it my own way,

           C#m          G#m    F#m  A
and if you come with me you'll know

     B      E            E
that thoses birds on the wing

are a beautiful thing

      D
as they blow

A                        E
through the streets of Dublin

E           D

if you know the right jukebox to play!

      B   C#m                          A
There are glasses to raise in the praise

      A      Bsus      B  A
of survivin' the day...

A smokey den where workin' men don't bring the wife...

A    B   E           E           E          E
It's the laughter of fellas with stories to tell,

        E           E               E            E
men who love to get drunk and raise true feckin' hell!
