Housemartins, Happy Hour (1986)
Key: :[B] (w: Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore)
INTRO: [B] [D#m] [E] [F#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
It's
[B] happy
[D#m] hour again
I
[E] think I might be happy
If I
[F#] wasn't out with them
And they're
[B] happy
It's a
[D#m] lovely place to be
[E] Happy that the fire's real
The
[F#] barman is a
[B] she
BRIDGE 1:
Where their
[B] haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the
[F#] boss
Where you
[B] win or you lose
And it's them who choose
And if you don't win then you've
[F#] lost
[F# open]
CHORUS:
What a good place to
[B] be, don't be-
[D#m]-lieve it
Cause they
[E] speak a different language
And it's
[F#] never really happened to
[B] me
Don't be-
[D#m]-lieve it; oh
[E] no
Cause it's
[F#] never been happy to
[B] me
[D#m] [E] [F#]
VERSE 2:
It's a-
[B]-nother
[D#m] night out with the boss
[E] Following in footsteps
[F#] overgrown in moss
And he
[B] tells me that
[D#m] women grow on trees
And if you
[E] catch them right
They will
[F#] land upon their
[B] knees
BRIDGE 2:
Where they
[B] open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a
[F#] drink
And as
[B] we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen
[F#] sink
[F# open]
