CAPO on 1st Fret (but can be played without)
[Verse 1]
Am
Some friends and I in a public house
G Am
Were playing dominoes one night.
G F
When into the room the barman came
F E
His face all chalky white.
Am
“What?s up?” says Brown. “Have seen a ghost?"
G Am
"Have you see your Aunt Maria?”
G F
“Oh, me Aunt Maria be buggered,” says he,
F E
“the bloody pub?s on fire!”
[Verse 2]
Am
“On fire?” says Brown, “What a bit of luck!"
G Am
"Everybody follow me!"
G F
"Down to the cellar, if the fire?s not there,"
F E
"we?ll have a rare old spree.”
Am
So we all went down after good old Brown,
G Am
And booze we could not miss,
G F
And we weren?t there five minutes or more
F E
Till we were all half-pissed.
[Chorus]
Am
And there was Brown, upside down,
G Am
Licking up the whiskey off the floor.
G F
“Booze, Booze!” the firemen cried,
F E
As they came knockin’ at the door (clap clap)
Am
“Don?t let them in till it?s all mopped up,"
G Am
somebody! shouted "MacIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
G F E
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
F E Am
when the Old Dun Cow / caught fire.
[Verse 3]
Am
Then Smith went over to the port-wine tub
G Am
and gave it a few hard knocks; (clap clap)
G F
And started taking off his pantaloons,
F E
Likewise his shoes and socks
Am
“Hold on,” says Brown, “we can?t have that,"
G Am
"you can?t do that in here.
G F
“Don?t go washing your trotters in the port-wine tub,"
F E
when we?ve got all this Lite beer.”
[Chorus]
Am
And there was Brown, upside down,
G Am
Licking up the whiskey off the floor.
G F
“Booze, Booze!” the firemen cried,
F E
As they came knockin’ at the door (clap clap)
Am
“Don?t let them in till it?s all mopped up,"
G Am
somebody! shouted "MacIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
G F E
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
F E Am
when the Old Dun Cow / caught fire.
[Verse 4]
Am
Well, then there came an awful crash,
G Am
half the bloody roof gave way.
G F
We were drowned in the firemen?s hose,
F E
still we were going to stay.
Am
So we got some tacks and our old wet slacks
G Am
and we nailed ourselves inside,
G F
And we sat there swallyin? pints of stout
F E
till we were bleary eyed.
[Chorus]
Am
And there was Brown, upside down,
G Am
Licking up the whiskey off the floor.
G F E
“Booze, Booze!” the firemen cried,
F E
As they came knockin’ at the door (clap clap)
Am
“Don?t let them in till it?s all mopped up,"
G Am
somebody! shouted "MacIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
G F E
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
F E Am
when the Old Dun Cow / caught fire.
[Verse 5]
Am
Later that night when the fire was out
G Am
We came up from the cellar below
G F
Our pub was burned, our booze was drunk
F E
And our heads were a-hangin’ low
Am
"Oh look,” says Brown, with a look quite queer
G Am
It seemed something caught his ire
G F
"We’ve gotta get down to Murphy’s pub
F E
It closes on the hour!"
[Chorus]
Am
And there was Brown, upside down,
G Am
Licking up the whiskey off the floor.
G F
“Booze, Booze!” the firemen cried,
F E
As they came knockin’ at the door (clap clap)
Am
“Don?t let them in till it?s all mopped up,"
