Intro

oooooooo - ooooh We're all the one now

Verse 1

a minor final in Caherlistrane,

He was a Buffer and i was a Sham,

I was full forward and he was full back,

We fought each other to win that match,

 And now we meet in a melbourne bar,

 those old parish lines seem so thin from afar

 I stood on a square while he did a tillage,

Here we are livin' in a global village

Chorus

 Oooo-ooo-o-oh we're all the one now

 oooo-ooo-o-oh we're all the one

 oooo-ooo-o-oh We're all the one now

Verse 2

(same chords)

A travellin' man's son had just settled down,

He was only half welcome in our holy town,

spent all his young summers at the side of the road,

in the light of the stars, a tent for a home,

in the classroom the nuns had a desk for us all,

and one for the tinkers, along by the wall,

i met him today in the shop he was slaggin',

"how're ya keepin?" "ah sure pullin and draggin',"

Chorus

Mid. 8:

oh we've all got hopes, and we've all got dreams,

things we wish we'd done

and everybody's, somebody's,

daughter or son,

Chorus.

Oooo-ooo-o-oh We're all the one (repeat to fade)
