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