[Verse 1]
Em D C G I walk through this city a stranger, F C G D in a land I can never call home Em D C G I curse the sad notion that caused me Em D in search of my fortune to roam.
[Verse 2]
Em D C G I'm weary of working and drinking, F C G D with a week's wages spent in the bar Em D C G And God it's a shame for to use a friend's name Em D just to beg for the price of a jar
[Chorus]
Em D C G I remember that bright April morning, F C G D when I left home to travel afar Em D C G But to work till you're dead for one room and a bed, C D G is not the reason I left Mullingar
[Verse 3]
Em D C G Oh, this London's a city of heartbreak, F C G D on Friday there's friends by the score, Em D C G but when the pay's finished on Monday, Em D a friend's not a friend anymore
[Verse 4]
Em D C G Oh, a working day seems never ending, F C G D from the shovel and pick there's no break Em D C G But when you're not working you're spending, Em D the fortune you left home to make
[Chorus]
Em D C G I remember that bright April morning, F C G D when I left home to travel afar Em D C G But to work till you're dead for one room and a bed, C D G is not the reason I left Mullingar
[Verse 5]
Em D C G And for every one here who finds fortune, F C G D and comes home to tell of the tale, Em D C G each morning the broadway is crowded Em D with many’s the thousands who fail
[Verse 6]
Em D C G So, young men of Ireland, take warning, F C G D in London you never will find Em D C G the gold at the end of the rainbow, Em D you might just have left it behind
[Chorus]
Em D C G I remember that bright April morning, F C G D when I left home to travel afar Em D C G But to work till you're dead for one room and a bed, C D G is not the reason I left Mullingar C D G it's not the reason I left Mullingar
