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