[Verse]
(G) C We watched the table, the points were low, Am G The Aviva air was starting to grow (G) C Heavy with doubt, the headlines were harsh, Am G An Irish World Cup seemed beyond the march. G C Against the giants, a mountain too tall, Am G We clung to a prayer we wouldn't let fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C But then came the Thursday, a famous night, G D In Dublin the Aviva was bathed in green light. Em C The challenge was set, the favourites arrived, G D A young number nine, our hope was revived! G C Ronaldo saw red, and the crowd gave a roar, Em D Parrott scored two and we asked for no more!
[Chorus]
G D Oh, the Green Light is shining, the journey's not done! Em C From the brink of the cliff, the battle is won! G D In the heart of the hero, the fire is burning, Em C The Late, Late Troy Show, the tide has been turning! G D We're marching to March, with a ticket in hand, Em C One final push for our World Cup land!
[Verse 2]
G C The final day dawned, a tension so grim, Am G Hungary's home, the lights were all dim. G C We fell a goal down, we fought to get level, Am G Then again, they pulled clear—the hands of the devil! G C The clock wound down, the minutes all raced, Am G A play-off spot slipping, but we held to the faith. G C Then the ball found his head, the flick down so true, Am G He darted across, and the net felt the shoe!
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C In the 96th minute, the goal came like grace, G D Tears on his face, in that Hungarian place! Em C Parrott's hat-trick complete, a comeback of kings, G D The final whistle blew, and the whole island sings!
[Chorus]
G D Oh, the Green Light is shining, the journey's not done! Em C From the brink of the cliff, the battle is won! G D In the heart of the hero, the fire is burning, Em C The Late, Late Troy Show, the tide has been turning! G D We're marching to March, with a ticket in hand, Em C One final push for our World Cup land!
[Outro]
G D Come on, Ireland! C G The Playoff aFucking waits (Strum and hold the final G)
