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