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

INTRO: [E] [G#m] [A] [B] : [x2]

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

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

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

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

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