Verse 1   (0:15 - 0:43)

    G     
And I like pints of Guinness
    C9
And I like shots of whiskey
           G
There's a bar in my hotel
         C9
Where I know that they all miss me
          G
There's a fire that keeps on burning
          C9
And as we stare into the flames
    G
The pints they keep on coming
      C9
As we drink away our pain

And I like pints of Guinness

That we'll drink away the day
   G                          C9
As night it starts to fall on old Dublin town
    G      
The pints they keep on coming
             C9
And yeah you know where I'll be found

     G
It's five o'clock in the morning
    C9
And everyone's gone home

The streets are quiet and empty

But I don't feel alone

Cuz the sun it starts to shine
   C9
On old Dublin town
    G
The Liffey it starts to sparkle
            C9
Ah yeah you know where I'll be found
