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