Sam Is Coming Home Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords by The Merry Ploughboys. A new Dublin football anthem for the 2011 final against Kerry in Croke Park in September. A mighty song indeed. If you think you know the tune you would be spot on, it's the same as ''Home Boys Home by The Dubliners, well for the most part, there's a slight change where it starts, ''When The Dubs Go In To Life The Sam Maguire'' , so the guitar chords change slightly for that part, otherwise it's the same as Home Biys Home. The Merry Ploughboys are a Dublin based ballad group which is a rare thing nowadays as most of the auld ballad groups fell by the way side during the Celtic Tiger when the publicans thought ballad groups were not a good image for their pubs, I think live music is making a bit of a come back as bar prifits fall into the red, lets hope so, that bloody karaoki would drive you to drink.

[D]Sam is coming home,
back to Molly Malone
He’s [A]tired of cutting cabbages
in Kerry and Ty[D]rone
He misses Anna [G]Liffey,
the [D]coddle and the [A]crack
Sam is coming home again,
he wants a welcome [D]back

Verses:
[D]O'Carroll is the full back for the famous boys in blue,
Ma[A]cauley gets the breaking ball with Ross McConnell [D]too
Cluxton takes the [G]forty fives, the [D]Brogans score from [A]play
And goals from Flynn & Connolly send the Dubs along their[D] way.

[D]We sang about the 70's the decade of the Dubs
Sam [A]Maguire was happy then around the Dublin [D]clubs
Now all the years of [G]exile, [D]lonlieness and [A]pain
They're nearly over now for he's coming home a[D]gain

[D]Sam is coming home,
back to Molly Malone
He’s [A]tired of cutting cabbages
in Kerry and Ty[D]rone
He misses Anna [G]Liffey,
the [D]coddle and the [A]crack
Sam is coming home again,
he wants a welcome [D]back.

[D]When the Dubs. go in to life the Sam Maguire,
We'll be [A]there, we'll be there.
When the [D]Dubs. go in to life the Sam Maguire,
We'll be [A]there, we'll be [D]there
 
We’ll take him down O’Connell Street and to the GPO
We’ll bring him in to James Gate to say a quick hello
Up the Dublin mountains to see the fields of green
And then we’ ll take him home again to live on Hill 16

Hill 16 was singing in the year of eighty three
The time the twelve apostles would not show bended knee
So many yearsa we’ve waited since nineteen ninety five
Here’s to all the Dublin folk who kept the flame alive

This is one of the most popular football songs on the site for 2011, the other is Dublin Kerry Bring It On by The Corrigan Brothers and Shay Healy.  Below is the new Dublin G.A.A. badge to commemorate the Dubs victory in the 2011 final against Kerry, it's a shiny round badge with the words ''Up The Dubs'' , free postage and packing worldwide.
