INTRO:
A B C
VERSE:
A B C
when the songs flow down like a river
A B C
and the words cut through
A B C
dreams fly around me
A B C
I'm a happy man in the world
I love the sound of the bodhran, kicking in behind me
it heats my blood
when the trumpet flies above me
I'm a happy man in the world
CHORUS:
D E F G
It's the holy ground
D E F G
I'm looking for
D E F G
I wake up every morning
D E F G
and ask for more
H I
A B C
I'm a happy man in the world
sometimes vultures hover
over wounded angels lives
black dog comes to see me
darkness fills my world
so I close my eyes and listen
to a jamaican freedom song
I move my body to the rhythm
I'm a happy man in the world
it's the holy ground I'm looking for
I wake up every morning
and ask for more
I'm a happy man in the world
sometimes I fly with the white swan to my
liffey home
there the river sings to me
I'm a happy man in the world
