C         G       Am
Sing us a song of Erin's green isle

F             Am         Dm
One of wild roaming or girls that beguile

     G              F         C           G
Or drinking black porter and going on a spree

            C           F          A#          G
Where the mountains of morn sweep down to the sea
[Chorus]

One of the old ones, and we'll sing along

C              F            Dm            G
None of your protests and struggles and strife

We all need some happiness back in our life

Sing us a song of make believe days

Where people are thoughtful of each other's ways

       G         F       C        G
Where bias and bigotry never distort

         F                          A#          G
And the dear unicorns, they're all safe on the Ark
[Chorus]

C            G        Am
Sing us a song where people are free

To live as they want from all tyranny

G               F         C        G
No pestilence, famine, or fires or floods

     C      F              A#            G
And no politicians who are out slinging mud
[Chorus]
C   F     Dm        G
Hey boys, sing us a song

None of your protests and struggles and strife

   F             Dm        G           C
We all need some happiness back in our life

We all need some happiness back in our life
[Verse 4]
       F           G         C            F
Is it too much to ask for a song of good cheer

          Dm              G              C          Am
Where the words aren't a puzzle and the meaning is clear?

          Dm              E7           Am
When you can't help but smile at the memory it brings

         D                   G            Dm    G
With a chorus so catchy you just have to sing
[Chorus]
C   F     Dm        G
Hey boys, sing us a song

C          F             Dm         G
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along

C            F            Dm            G
None of your protests and struggles and strife

   F             Dm        G           C
We all need some happiness back in our life
[Verse 5]
 C          G         Am        
Sing us a song where nobody dies

          F             Am      Dm
And the leaders of governments tell us no lies

     G               F              C           G
Our sons and poor daughters aren't sent off to war

    C            F        A#            G
To die for no reason on some foreign shore
[Chorus]
C   F     Dm        G
Hey boys, sing us a song

C          F             Dm         G
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along

C            F            Dm            G
None of your protests and struggles and strife

   F             Dm        G           C
We all need some happiness back in our life
