Verse 1 (0:15 - 0:43)
G
And I like pints of Guinness
Cadd9
And I like shots of whiskey
G
There's a bar in my hotel
Cadd9
Where I know that they all miss me
G
There's a fire that keeps on burning
Cadd9
And as we stare into the flames
G
The pints they keep on coming
Cadd9
As we drink away our pain

G
And I like pints of Guinness
Cadd9
As Billy used to say
G
There ain't so fucking much here
Cadd9
That we'll drink away the day
G Cadd9
As night it starts to fall on old Dublin town
G
The pints they keep on coming
Cadd9
And yeah you know where I'll be found

Verse 3 (2:42 - 3:10)
G
It's five o'clock in the morning
Cadd9
And everyone's gone home
G
The streets are quiet and empty
Cadd9
But I don't feel alone
G
Cuz the sun it starts to shine
Cadd9
On old Dublin town
G
The Liffey it starts to sparkle
Cadd9
Ah yeah you know where I'll be found
