Chorus
F             F 
We Irish love to sing
Bb            F
We Irish love to dance
F            F
We Irish love to party
Bb             C
Whener' we get the chance
F             F
We have a lot of troubles
Bb               F
But we have a lot of soul
Bb               F
We'll drink a pint of Guiness
      C     F
And forget about our woes
F       F        Bb   C   F
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
F       F        Bb   C   F
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best



F                  F 
We love our myths and stories
Bb              F
We love a mournful song
F               F
We love our joyful music
Bb                C
And a good old sing-a-long
F               F
We love our pennywhistle
Bb                  F
Uilleann pipes and air bodhrán
Bb           F
We Irish love our football
      C     F
Our heros and our homes



Repeat Chorus



F               F 
We Irish love St. Patty
We got a pub on every corner
Bb       F
We love to celebrate
And a church to worship in
F               F
And nothing suits us better than
We party hard then pray the Lord
Bb              C
An all-out green parade
Forgive us of our sins
F                   F
Green beer and hats and jackets
We rid ourselves of grief and guilt
Bb                  F
Green dresses, shirts and ties
Relieve our troubled hearts
Bb               F
And nothing could be brighter
I know God loves the Irish
      C         F
Than the light in Irish eyes
And accepts us as we are



Repeat Chorus



Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
