Verse :
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD
Someone knocked this morning, they wanted to come in
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
They rang and rang the doorbell, I thought and scratched my chin
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD
I hope it's not the Garda they have no time for us
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
Except when they had something they wanted to discuss
Pre-Chorus :
E minorEm F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
Well I peeped out through the curtains and saw that I was right
E minorEm F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
It was a black Mariah and they were sittin' tight
E minorEm F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
My brothers sleeping upstairs, they didn't seem to hear
E minorEm F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm - - - - A augmentedA
Them banging down the front door, I thought that rather queer
Chorus :
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
It's a bad time Garda, the house' an awful sight
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
It's a bad time Garda, come back tomorrow night
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
It's a bad time Garda, the kitchen is a sin
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
You picked a bad time Garda, we'll get some biscuits in.
(Repeat next Verse Pre-Chorus & Chorus same way)
Someone's running round upstairs, reluctant to descend
Ma and Da are shouting 'You've brought them back again'
At least its not the special branch, the Peelers of today
Flash their guns
And take your sons
And you would have no say
Well my brother's there
In his underwear
It's cold as it can be
He's hanging out the window
I'd rather him than me
It's a bad time Garda, the house' an awful sight
It's a bad time Garda, come back tomorrow night
It's a bad time Garda, the kitchen is a sin
You picked a bad time Garda, we'll get some biscuits in
We'll get some biscuits in, we'll get some bickys in
