Old Dun Cow chords

CAPO on 1st Fret (but can be played without)

[VERSE 1]

Some f[Am]riends and I in a public house
Were p[G]laying dominoes one night. [Am]
When in[G]to the [F]room the barman came
His [F]face all chalky [E]white.
"What[Am]‟s up?” says Brown. "Have seen a ghost?"
"Have you see[G] your Aunt Mar[Am]ia?”
"Oh, me Aunt[G] Maria b[F]e buggered,” says he,
"the b[F]loody pub‟s on fi[E]re!”

[VERSE 2]

"[Am]On fire?” says Brown, "What a bit of luck!"
[G]"Everybody follo[Am]w me!"
"Down to [G]the cellar, [F]if the fire‟s not there,"
"we‟ll have[F] a rare old spree[E] .”
So we[Am] all went down after good old Brown,
And booz[G]e we could not [Am]miss,
And we [G]weren‟t ther[F]e five minutes or more
[F]Till we were all h[E]alf-pissed.

[CHORUS]

And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down,
L[G]icking up the whiskey off the flo[Am]or.
[G]"Booze, Booze!” the [F]firemen cried,
As t[F]hey came knockin’ at the [E]door (clap clap)
"Don‟[Am]t let them in till it‟s all mopped up,"
someb[G]ody! shouted "Ma[Am]cIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
when the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow / caugh[Am]t fire.

[VERSE 3]

Then S[Am]mith went over to the port-wine tub
and [G]gave it a few hard knocks[Am] ; (clap clap)
And s[G]tarted [F]taking off his pantaloons,
Likew[F]ise his shoes and [E]socks
"Hold[Am] on,” says Brown, "we can‟t have that,"
"yo[G]u can‟t do that i[Am]n here.
"Don‟t go[G] washing[F] your trotters in the port-wine tub,"
when we‟[F]ve got all this Li[E]te beer.”

[CHORUS]

And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down,
L[G]icking up the whiskey off the flo[Am]or.
[G]"Booze, Booze!” the [F]firemen cried,
As t[F]hey came knockin’ at the [E]door (clap clap)
"Don‟[Am]t let them in till it‟s all mopped up,"
someb[G]ody! shouted "Ma[Am]cIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
when the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow / caugh[Am]t fire.

[VERSE 4]

Well[Am] , then there came an awful crash,
ha[G]lf the bloody roof gave [Am]way.
We were [G]drowned[F] in the firemen‟s hose,
stil[F]l we were goin[E]g to stay.
So we [Am]got some tacks and our old wet slacks
and we [G]nailed ourselves in[Am]side,
And we [G]sat there [F]swallyin‟ pints of stout
till w[F]e were bleary [E]eyed.

[CHORUS]

And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down,
L[G]icking up the whiskey off the flo[Am]or.
[G]"Booze, Booze!” the [F]firemen [E]cried,
As t[F]hey came knockin’ at the [E]door (clap clap)
"Don‟[Am]t let them in till it‟s all mopped up,"
someb[G]ody! shouted "Ma[Am]cIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
when the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow / caugh[Am]t fire.

[VERSE 5]

L[Am]ater that night when the fire was out
We [G]came up from the cellar [Am]below
Our p[G]ub was b[F]urned, our booze was drunk
And our [F]heads were a-hangin’ [E]low
"Oh lo[Am]ok,” says Brown, with a look quite queer
It seemed [G]something caught his [Am]ire
"We’ve [G]gotta get [F]down to Murphy’s pub
It [F]closes on the [E]hour!"

[CHORUS]

And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down,
L[G]icking up the whiskey off the flo[Am]or.
[G]"Booze, Booze!” the [F]firemen cried,
As t[F]hey came knockin’ at the [E]door (clap clap)
"Don‟[Am]t let them in till it‟s all mopped up,"
someb[G]ody! shouted "Ma[Am]cIntyre." (MACINTYRE)
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
when the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow / caugh[Am]t fire.
