  Bm                  A
I know you’re missing home
              G                 D
It’s been so long since you’ve been
          Bm              A
And that life you had in Dublin
           G             D
Now ain’t nothing but a dream
       Bm                 A
To be right there in the moment
            G           D
You’d give anything to be
        Bm
It’s alright
          A
‘Cause tonight
             G              D
We’re gonna paint the town green

Your friends are on the phone now
It's so close to Paddy’s Day
And it kills you not to be there
But life got in the way
If I have to break the bank
Spend every penny on your dreams
It’s alright
‘Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Chorus:
           Bm   A
Just like home
       G          D              Bm   A
Let’s color the streets like our own
       G               D            Bm   A
Let’s make this place feel like our own
      G            D
It’s just you and me
        Bm
It’s alright
          A
‘Cause tonight
             G               D
We’re gonna paint the town green

And we'll travel on the subway
Like it was the Luas line
Chase the Hudson to the Liffey
Where we kissed for the first time
Turn the city into Dublin
Yeah, wherever we may be
It’s alright
‘Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Chorus - x2

                   Bm A G D
Paint the town green
                   Bm A G D
Paint the town green
