verse 1: 
A 
They wear green 
                D 
And they are    beautiful 
                E                        A 
And their       hearts are filled with   love 
                A               D 
They're as      pure as any     lilly 
                E               A 
And as          gentle as the   dove 
                A                       D 
They'll         sing and cheer in harmony 
                E                       A 
Till their      throats are cracked &   sore 
                A        
But there       is no doubt 
        D 
You'll  hear them shout 
        E                       A 
When    Jackie's heroes         score 

 
        D               A 
Too-ra-Loo      Too-ra-Loo 
                D               A 
And we'll       follow Jack's   heroes 
        E               A 
What-   ever they       do 


verse 2: 
A                               D 
They'll come from Dublin        And from Cork, from  
E               A 
dear old Done   gal, 
        A                       D 
From    London, Boston,         and New York, 
        E               A 
From    anywhere at     all, 
        A               D 
From    Parramatta      to Fermoy, 
        E               A 
Stra    bane to Skibe   reen 
               A 
(And will) the shout go up 
        D 
When    the World Cup 
        E                       A 
Is      raised on Stephens      Green 
(Yes it will) 

        D               A 
Too-ra-Loo      Too-ra-Loo 
                D               A 
And we'll       follow Jack's   heroes 
        E               A 
What-   ever they       do

To      Paddy's shamrock        shore
