Hey Boys Sing Us A Song Chords

(ver. 1)
Irish Rovers
[Intro]
D Em D G C Am D G C Am D G C D C D G C G D
 
[Verse 1]
G         D       Em
Sing us a song of Erin's green isle
C      Em              Am
One of wild roaming or girls that beguile
D           C            G              D
Or drinking black porter and going on a spree
G                      C          F           D
Where the mountains of morn sweep down to the sea
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
 
C Am D C D G C G D
Bm D
 
[Verse 2]
D                 Em           C
Sing us a song of make believe days
Em               Am                         D
Where people are thoughtful of each other's ways
D              C       G        D
Where bias and bigotry never distort
C                      F                       D
And the dear unicorns, they're all safe on the Ark
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
 
[Verse 3]
G                    D          Em
Sing us a song where people are free
C               Em            Am
To live as they want from all tyranny
D               C         G        D
No pestilence, famine, or fires or floods
G      C                   F            D
And no politicians who are out slinging mud
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
 
[Bridge]
      Em  C   Am        D
La-la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la la-la-la
G   C       D
La la-la-la-la-la la
Em            A         D
La-la-la, la, la-la-la, la la-la-la
Em    C     A     D
La la-la-la-la-la la
G         C       D
La-la-la, la, la  la,la
      Em  C   Am        D
La-la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la la-la-la
Em    A     D
La la la la la la
 
C G C
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
 
[Verse 4]
C                 D         G            C
Is it too much to ask for a song of good cheer
Am                       D              G          Em
Where the words aren't a puzzle and the meaning is clear?
Am                      B7                     Em
When you can't help but smile at the memory it brings
A                           D            Am    D
With a chorus so catchy you just have to sing
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
 
[Verse 5]
D                           Em
Sing us a song where nobody dies
C                  Em          Am
And the leaders of governments tell us no lies
D                 C                G           D
Our sons and poor daughters aren't sent off to war
G             C         F            D
To die for no reason on some foreign shore
 
[Chorus]
G   C     Am        D
Hey boys, sing us a song
G          C             Am         D
One of the old ones, and we'll sing along
G            C            Am            D
None of your protests and struggles and strife
   C             Am        D           G
We all need some happiness back in our life
