No, I'm sure you've heard the sorry tale of the day when Johnny fell,
But here's a side of the story, why as you might not know so well.
When the hullabaloo was over, the night at the castle bar,
He [A] said when the five [B] cocklemen had to bury Johnny [E]
Tarr.
He rolled him out the door to the morgue at Bishopstown,
We'd asked him if they cremated him at the coroner wore a frown,
He sadly shook his head and said your plan won't work so well,
[A] There's so much [B] bruise inside his veins he'll blow his [E] face to hell.
[A] So it was starting to rain [E] and the thunder of a cloud,
Johnny's [A] falling up in heaven, [B] landing on a cloud,
His [C#m] tears are falling as he laughs for he [B] knows that when you die in the [A] big pub,
Way up in the [E] sky, [B] you'll never ever ever ever ever drink and [E] cry.
Well we finally got him out the door and popped him against the wall,
We couldn't find a big enough horse to carry him at all,
We rolled him to Coke Harbour for a burial at sea,
[A] He phoned the [B] Irish Navy, they'd all gone home [E] for tea.
[A] So it was starting to rain and [E] the thunder of a cloud,
[A] Johnny's falling up in heaven, [B] landing on a cloud,
[C#m] His tears are falling as he laughs [B] for he knows that when you die [A] in the big pub,
Way up in the sky, you'll [B] never ever ever ever ever drink and [E] cry.

So as we slowly rolled into the pub where he lived and died,
We went in to drown our sorrows and we left the corpse outside,
We stumbled out at sunrise, he was white as any sheet,
[A] There was Johnny [B] frozen solid in the middle of [E] the street,
So we covered him in concrete and forever more he'll stand,
A pigeon on his ball, the head and the pint glass in his hand,
The passers-by all give a shout to the saint of lager louts,
Please treat him [F#] as a roundabout, your [B] man is Johnny [E] Tarr,
Please treat him as a [B] roundabout, your man is Johnny [E] Tarr.
So [A] it was starting to rain and [E] the thunder of a cloud,
Johnny's [A] falling up in heaven, [B] landing on a cloud,
[C#m] His tears are falling as he laughs [B] for he knows that when you die in [A] the big pub,
Way up in the sky, [B] you'll never ever ever ever ever drink [E] and cry.
[A] If it starts to rain [E] and the thunder of a cloud,
[A] Johnny's falling up in heaven, [B] landing on a cloud,
His [C#m] tears are falling as he laughs for he [B] knows that when you die in the [A] big pub,
Way up in the sky, you'll [B] never ever ever ever ever drink and [E] cry.
In the [A] big pub, way up in the [E] sky, [B] you'll never ever ever ever ever drink and cry.
