Housemartins, Happy Hour (1986)
^{Key: :[C] (w: Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore)}

INTRO: [C] [Em] [F] [G] : [x2]

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

BRIDGE 1:
Where their [C] haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the [G] boss
Where you [C] win or you lose
And it's them who choose
And if you don't win then you've [G] lost [G open]

CHORUS:
What a good place to [C] be, don't be-[Em]-lieve it
Cause they [F] speak a different language
And it's [G] never really happened to [C] me
Don't be-[Em]-lieve it; oh [F] no
Cause it's [G] never been happy to [C] me [Em] [F] [G]

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

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