When The Old Dun Cow Caught Fire chords

[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]pub a [E]fireman came
His [F]face all chalky [E]white.
"What[Am]’s up,” says Brown, "Have you seen a ghost,
Have you seen[G] your Aunt Mar[Am]iah?"
"Me Aunt Mar[G]iah be b[F]uggered!" says h[E]e,
"The b[F]loody pub’s on fi[E]re!"

[VERSE 2]

"[Am]On Fire," says Brown, "What a bit of luck.
[G]Everybody follow[Am] me
Down to t[G]he cellar, i[F]f the fire’s no[E]t there
Then we’ll [F]have a rare old s[E]pree."
So we[Am] all went on down after good old Brown
Booze we[G] could not miss[Am]
And we [G]hadn’t been [F]there five [E]minutes or more
[F]Til were all half [E]pissed.

[CHORUS]
And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down
L[G]ickin' 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’t[Am] let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up
And s[G]omebody shouted [Am]Maclntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
When the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow caught [Am]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)
He st[G]arted t[F]akin’ off his [E]pantaloons
Likew[F]ise his shoes and [E]socks
"Hold[Am] on, "says Brown, "we can't have that,
Ye [G]canna do that in [Am]here
Don’t go [G]washin’ [F]your trotters in[E] the port wine tub
When we [F]got all this light[E] beer.

[CHORUS]
And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down
L[G]ickin’ 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)
Oh do[Am]n’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up
And s[G]omebody shouted [Am]Maclntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
When the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow caught [Am]fire.

[VERSE 4]
And t[Am]hen there came to the old back door
The [G]Vicar of our local [Am]church
And when [G]he had [F]seen our [E]drunken ways
He be[F]gan to scream and [E]curse
"You [Am]drunken sods, you heathen clods
You’ve [G]taken to a drunken [Am]spree!
And you [G]drank up [F]all that [E]Benedictine Wine
And you [F]didn’t save a drop for [E]me!"

[CHORUS]
And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down
L[G]ickin’ 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)
Oh do[Am]n’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up
And s[G]omebody shouted [Am]Maclntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
When the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow caught [Am]fire.

[VERSE 5]
Then[Am] all of a sudden came an awful crash
Ha[G]lf the bloody roof gave [Am]way
We were [G]drowned[F] in the firemen[E]’s hose
But [F]we were gonna [E]stay
So we [Am]got some tacks and some old wet sacks
And we [G]nailed ourselves in[Am]side
And we [G]sat there [F]swallowin' pi[E]nts of stout,
‘Till [F]we were bleary[E] -eyed

[CHORUS]
And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down
L[G]ickin’ 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)
Oh do[Am]n’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up
And s[G]omebody shouted [Am]Maclntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
When the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow caught [Am]fire.

[VERSE 6]
L[Am]ater that night when the fire was out
We [G]came from the cellar bel[Am]ow
Our p[G]ub was b[F]urned, our [E]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 M[E]urphy’s pub
It [F]closes on the [E]hour!"

[CHORUS]
And t[Am]here was Brown, upside down
L[G]ickin’ 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)
Oh do[Am]n’t let ‘em in till it’s all mopped up
And s[G]omebody shouted [Am]Maclntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we [G]all got blu[F]e-blind p[E]aralytic drunk
When the [F]Old Dun [E]Cow caught [Am]fire.
