Apparently when they went [D] into the studio to record this,
Dolores wouldn't feel that very well.
She is a very mature.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab]
But apparently the Irish cure for whatever was ailing her
is the copious amounts of Irish whiskey in the cork.
[Eb] _ And I [Ab] told you as well, I'm to the [Eb] cure when they recorded this.
_ _ _ [Ab] Why they did it as a duet, I'll never know, but I'm very happy they did. _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ In a town where there's silence, there ain't no place to hide. _ _ _
_ Everywhere you go, you meet [B] _ someone you know.
_ You [E] can't steal a kiss in a place _ like this.
How do _ rumors do fly _ in a [B] town this [E] _ size?
_ _ _ In a _ _ smoky bar, in a [A] _
backseat of your [E] car,
in [E] your own little house, _ _ [B] someone's sure to find out
what [E] you do and what you think, _ what you [A]
eat and what you [Am] drink.
_ If you smoke a cigarette, _ they'll be [B]
talking about your breath.
_ [E] In a town this size, there [A] ain't no place to hide. _
[E] Everywhere _ _ you go, _ [B] you meet someone you know. _
You [E] can't steal a kiss _ in a [A] _ place like this.
