[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 D G
They paved the way to heaven through cobblestones and mist
G Cadd9 D G
And expect you to be alright with your hand tucked in a fist
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 D G
But the fighting man can't win no more, yeah, the blood was never spilled
G Cadd9 D G
And they'll take you to the promise land if you promise not to get killed
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D7
So Lord, have mercy on our souls
Am D7
We lost our way many years ago
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D G
So (So) take me home to the Emerald Isle I know
G Cadd9 D G
Oh take me back to the banter and the craic
G Cadd9 D G
Oh set me free from the city streets and greed
G Cadd9 D G
And get me out of London Town 'cause London ain't for me
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 D G
They'll take away my freedom but you'll never rob my pride
G Cadd9 D G
'Cause we're living in a system where you're worth more dead than you are alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D7
So Lord, have mercy on our souls
Am D7
We lost our way many years ago
[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
Am D7
So Lord, have mercy on our souls
Am D7
We lost our way many years ago
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D G
So (So) take me home to the Emerald Isle I know
