G+G C majorC D MajorD

Verse 1:
G+G      C majorC     D MajorD  D7D7
Sitting in bars and cafés
    A minorAm     G+G
Writing songs about songs
  E minorEm      D MajorD
And plays within plays
    C majorC     G+G
But how rarely we dare
     E minorEm       D MajorD
To write something that says
  C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
Anything about bars and cafés

Chorus:
        G+G
Be true to your bar
         D MajorD
And don’t let it down
  C majorC             G+G
Or else it may not always be around
D MajorD        G+G
Be true to your friends
           D MajorD
And let your friends know
  C majorC                  G+G
Without your bar you’d have no place to go

Break:

Verse 2:
G+G        C majorC      D MajorD  D7D7
You can’t drink tea all day long
      A minorAm     G+G
You’ll have two heart attacks
      E minorEm       D MajorD
Before you write the third song
    C majorC       G+G
And how barely you’ll care
    E minorEm      D MajorD
If the rhythm’s all wrong
     C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
Drinking Irish Breakfast all day long

Verse 3:
G+G       C majorC      D MajorD  D7D7
Eight hours is all you can take
  A minorAm      G+G
Of tea at St. Dymphna’s
 E minorEm       D MajorD
Until your hands shake
    C majorC      G+G
Then repair to your lair
  E minorEm      D MajorD
For booze and beefcake
      C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
Eight more hours, till you can’t stay awake

        G+G
Be true to your bar
         D MajorD
