Housemartins, Happy Hour (1986)
Key: :[A] (w: Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore)

INTRO: [A] [C#m] [D] [E] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
It's [A] happy [C#m] hour again
I [D] think I might be happy
If I [E] wasn't out with them
And they're [A] happy
It's a [C#m] lovely place to be
[D] Happy that the fire's real
The [E] barman is a [A] she

BRIDGE 1:
Where their [A] haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the [E] boss
Where you [A] win or you lose
And it's them who choose
And if you don't win then you've [E] lost [E open]

CHORUS:
What a good place to [A] be, don't be-[C#m]-lieve it
Cause they [D] speak a different language
And it's [E] never really happened to [A] me
Don't be-[C#m]-lieve it; oh [D] no
Cause it's [E] never been happy to [A] me [C#m] [D] [E]

VERSE 2:
It's a-[A]-nother [C#m] night out with the boss
[D] Following in footsteps [E] overgrown in moss
And he [A] tells me that [C#m] women grow on trees
And if you [D] catch them right
They will [E] land upon their [A] knees

BRIDGE 2:
Where they [A] open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a [E] drink
And as [A] we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen [E] sink [E open]

And a-[C#m]-gain, and a-[D]-gain [E]

It's happy hour a-[A]-gain
And a-[C#m]-gain, and a-[D]-gain [E]
