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

INTRO: [Bb] [Dm] [Eb] [F] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
It's [Bb] happy [Dm] hour again
I [Eb] think I might be happy
If I [F] wasn't out with them
And they're [Bb] happy
It's a [Dm] lovely place to be
[Eb] Happy that the fire's real
The [F] barman is a [Bb] she

BRIDGE 1:
Where their [Bb] haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the [F] boss
Where you [Bb] 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 [Bb] be, don't be-[Dm]-lieve it
Cause they [Eb] speak a different language
And it's [F] never really happened to [Bb] me
Don't be-[Dm]-lieve it; oh [Eb] no
Cause it's [F] never been happy to [Bb] me [Dm] [Eb] [F]

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

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

And a-[Dm]-gain, and a-[Eb]-gain [F]
It's happy hour a-[Bb]-gain
And a-[Dm]-gain, and a-[Eb]-gain [F]
It's happy hour a-[Bb]-gain
And a-[Dm]-gain, and a-[Eb]-gain [F]
