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