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