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]
REPEAT CHORUS:
