The Irish Pub The High Kings Lyrics And Guitar Chords
The tune of the song is Mr. Maguire which was a big hit for The Dubliners. This song was written by Brian Flynn. Brian also does tutorials of well known Irish songs which you can access on his website. The guitar chords are in chordpro.
Well[Em] you walk into a city street, you[G] could be in Po[D]ru
And you[Em] hear a distant calling and you[D] know it's ment for you,
And you[Em] drop what you were doing and you [G]join the merry [D]mob,
And [Em]before you know just where you are, your[D] in an Irish[Em] pub.
Chorus
They've[G] got one in Holalulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got [Em]four of them in Sydney and a [D]couple in Katmando
So [Em]wheather you sing or pull a pint you'll [G]always have a [D]job,
'Cause [Em]where ever you go around the world you'll [D]find an Irish [Em]pub.
Now that design is fairly simple and it usually works the same,
You'll have ''Razor Houghton'' scoring in the Ireland - England game
And you know your in an Irish pub the minute you're in the door,
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore.
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint you'll always have a job,
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
Now the owner is Norwegian and the manager comes from Cork,
And the lad that's holding up the bar says 'Only Eejits Work'
He was born and bred in Bolton but his mammy's from Kildare,
And he's going to make his fortune soon and move to County Clare.
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint you'll always have a job,
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub.
Now it's time for me to go I have to catch me train,
So I'll leave ye sitting at the bar and face the wind and rain,
For I'll have that pint you owe me, if I'm not gone on the dry,
When we meet next week in Frankford in the fields of Athenry.
They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint you'll always have a job,
'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub
And you[Em] hear a distant calling and you[D] know it's ment for you,
And you[Em] drop what you were doing and you [G]join the merry [D]mob,
And [Em]before you know just where you are, your[D] in an Irish[Em] pub.
Chorus

An Irish Pub
The mind's eye reveals a convivial scene of comfortable good cheer, with good food and drink, good friends and good music. Most of all, music, songs and the stories they tell. For these are a tangible expression of a people's living spirit, and what this book is all about.
Here is a collection of Irish songs designed both for singing as a group or performing for a group. There are rollicking songs, sentimental songs, funny songs and even a few songs of troubles; most of all, though, these are songs to be shared, to be experienced together-in a pub, at a party or just among friends.
Many of the titles have come from the Irish folk tradition, a tradition that keeps evolving through the years, as does any musical and poetic tradition passed along from mouth to ear. They may be found in as many versions as there are singers to sing them and wordsmiths to unfold and enlarge upon the tale.
So, you may find some songs you know, but not exactly as you remember them. When we've encountered multiple versions of songs, we've attempted to choose the variant that, to us, best reflects its spirit. If you don't agree, change it! Make each song your own; distill it through your own experiences and create something new, in the best folk tradition. Or, this book can be a useful reference, a consistent resource that many can share, singing and playing together.
The Irish are a race of bards-creative, spirited, ever-ready to expound upon life and living with remarkable creativity and a true love of language. The English word "whisky" is said to derive from the Irish uisce beatha (pronounced whiska baha)-literally the water of life. Throughout Irish mythos purls this living liquor, the "divil" known as poteen or mountain dew. It is claimed that the magical elixir can kill or cure, can make strong men stronger and the brave invincible, or at least can ease the spirit in times of troubles. In these songs, whisky has been given a folkloric, supernatural power that transports the imbiber far beyond mundane reality.
Pure fantasy, of course, the beast becoming the beauty. But here, it is the songs that intoxicate, not the substances, themselves.
So, gather up your pots and your old tin cans, your guitars, your voices, your bones or your bodhrans and join us to share music in that Irish pub we were picturing earlier, for a metaphorical "drop of the creatur." After all, isn't music the best brew around?

Irish music, in its traditional and older pop forms, is one of the great cultures of Western pop and folk. These favorites showcase the variety, intensity, emotion, and sheer fun of Irish music as it is played in one of its most appropriate locations - the Irish pub.
Age is a major reason for the perennial popularity of Irish music. Ireland has managed to hold on longer than many other European cultures to the music of its pre- industrial past. In part that preservation has occurred through poverty and oppression; many of the improvements of the modern world were long denied Ireland. But new communication techniques have also aided the preservation of Irish music: a widespread network of adherents, passionately devoted not only to preserving but also to ex- tending tradition, sustains concerts, festivals, and recordings of Irish music throughout the world.
The pub is one of the most import- ant places where Irish music is pre- served. Musical gatherings, known in Ireland as "sessions," are most often convened in pubs. Pub sessions are rarely professional arrangements: superb musicians play in various groups and combi- nations, and while the best pub sessions achieve reputations that bring in crowds, the choices of music and instrumentation will be unpredict- able, fluctuating. At its best, a session is said to have "crack": while the musicians are rarely paid, a session is not a free-for-all, in which anyone may join; some of Ireland's best traditional musicians play in pub sessions, and the standards of crack are high.
This collection embraces the wide variety of music that might be heard in a pub session. Some of these songs are well-known, traditional pieces, of anonymous authorship and great age; others are beloved compositions that have achieved the status of traditional tunes. The music breaks down roughly into dance music and listening music. Most Irish instrumental music is dance music; as in most cultures, dance music has the most ancient roots. Dance rhythms arose in pagan ritual, but in more recent years, barn-raisings, wed- dings, and even wakes have been among the many occasions of Irish dance music.
The most traditional dances of Irish instrumental music are reels, jigs, and hornpipes. A fine example of a traditional dance tune collected here is "Fiddler's Green."
Vocal music, as well as the melodic instrumental style known as the "air," have also had an important impact on pub favorites like those collected here - as have ballads and commercial popular songs with Irish flavor. "The Rare Oul' Times" and "MacNamara's Band" are good examples of Irish pub music
without traditional dance roots. But whether dance, song, or air, Irish music's deepest roots and widest
variety can be heard in the music of the Irish pub.

The High Kings Song ''The Irish Pub''.
An Irish pub song lyrics
In a cozy corner of the town,
Stands a pub with a shamrock crown,
A place where laughter and music abound,
An Irish pub, a true gem found.
The door swings open, a warm welcome,
The smell of ale, a familiar emblem,
The walls adorned with Celtic art,
A place that soothes the weary heart.
The bar is bustling, glasses clink,
As patrons gather, for a night of drink,
A pint of Guinness, a shot of Jameson,
The perfect blend for a true Irish fun.
The fiddler plays a lively tune,
As dancers swirl under the moon,
The bodhrán beats, the pipes resound,
A traditional session, a joy profound.
The bartender with a friendly smile,
Pours a round, going the extra mile,
Stories shared, of old and new,
In this pub, everyone is family too.
The craic is mighty, the banter grand,
In this pub, time slips through our hand,
As the fire crackles, and the stout flows,
The spirit of Ireland, in our hearts glows.
And when the night comes to an end,
We bid farewell, to our dear friend,
For in this pub, we found a home,
A place where our hearts will forever roam.
So here's to the Irish pub, our beloved retreat,
Where strangers become friends, and memories sweet,
May it stand tall, for generations to come,
A true Irish treasure, in this bustling town.
In a cozy corner of the town,
Stands a pub with a shamrock crown,
A place where laughter and music abound,
An Irish pub, a true gem found.
The door swings open, a warm welcome,
The smell of ale, a familiar emblem,
The walls adorned with Celtic art,
A place that soothes the weary heart.
The bar is bustling, glasses clink,
As patrons gather, for a night of drink,
A pint of Guinness, a shot of Jameson,
The perfect blend for a true Irish fun.
The fiddler plays a lively tune,
As dancers swirl under the moon,
The bodhrán beats, the pipes resound,
A traditional session, a joy profound.
The bartender with a friendly smile,
Pours a round, going the extra mile,
Stories shared, of old and new,
In this pub, everyone is family too.
The craic is mighty, the banter grand,
In this pub, time slips through our hand,
As the fire crackles, and the stout flows,
The spirit of Ireland, in our hearts glows.
And when the night comes to an end,
We bid farewell, to our dear friend,
For in this pub, we found a home,
A place where our hearts will forever roam.
So here's to the Irish pub, our beloved retreat,
Where strangers become friends, and memories sweet,
May it stand tall, for generations to come,
A true Irish treasure, in this bustling town.
