[Intro]
|D F#m |Bm G |D |A |
|G A |G A |D |A |

[Verse 1]
D A G D
Paddy is a Dublin Man,
D G A
His brogue no one can understand
D Bm Em D
It's been a while since he left his green isle,
G A
But he's Irish as they come.
D A G D
Sometimes when Paddy's in the mood,
D G A
When the Celt within him fires his blood,
D Bm Em D
He'll drink some drams and sing a few songs,
G A
And dream of home.

[Chorus]
D A G
Paddy's singin' well tonight,
D A
Head thrown back and eyes closed tight
D A Bm G D A
He sings his songs of Ireland far away.
G A G A D A
And how he's going back to Dublin one fine day.

[Verse 2]
D A G D
But Paddy sings a fading song,
D G A
He knows he never can go home;
D Bm Em D
A stranger there and an exile here,
G A
He lives somewhere in between.
D A G D
And the Ireland of his heart's recall,
D G A
If it ever did exist at all,
D Bm Em D
Now only lives and wistfully moves
G A
Through Paddy's dreams.

[Chorus]
D A G
Paddy's singin' well tonight,
D A
Head thrown back and eyes closed tight
D A Bm G D A
He sings his songs of Ireland far away.
G A G A D A
And how he's going back to Dublin one fine day.

[Instrumental]
