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]
