What Makes The Irish Heart Beat(Chords)

	        Verse# 1 
E                         B7 
All that trouble all that grief 
    
      A                  E 
That's why I had to leave 

                F#7           B7 
Staying away too long is in defeat 

        E            B7 
Why I'm Singing this song 

      A               E 
Why I'm Heading Back home 

                      B7              E 
That's what makes the Irish heart beat 

Verse# 2 
I'm just like a hobo riding a train 
I'm like a gangster living in Spain 
Have to watch my back and I'm 
running out of time 
when roll the dice again 
If lady luck will call my name 
that's what makes the  
Irish heart beat 

Bridge: 
          A 
Well that's what makes it beat 

        E 
when I'm standing on the street 

                 F#7 
and I'm standing underneath 

               B7 
this Wrigley's sign 

    E               B7 
Oh so far away from home 

     A                E 
but I know I've to roam 

E 
that's what makes the 

B7             E 
Irish heart beat 

Solo:  verse chords 

Bridge: 

And it was off to foreign climbs 
on the Piccadilly line 
we where standing underneath 
the Wrigley's sign 
so far away from home 
but know I've got roam 
that's what makes the 
Irish heart beat 

Verse# 3 
Just like a sailor out on the foam 
any port in a storm 
where we tend to burn the candle 
at both ends 
Down the corridors of fame 
like the spark ignites the flame 
that's what makes the 
Irish heart beat 

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