to pick up the courage to speak the word. _ _ _
_ Early [Eb] East,
[Gm] that's where I'm from,
_ [Eb] oh, _ _
all the [Gm] way to Britain,
_ ha, ha, ha, ha, glory, [Bb] hallelujah, _ _

_ [G] a couple of [Gm] pot of legs,
oh,
[Eb] _ a long [Gm]-licking cider, _
ha, ha, ha, ha,
what a hell of a mixture,
[Bb] _ God of the Royal [Gm] and the Orange View.

_ [C] Due to the [Eb] _ [Gm] backloads,
in [G] pay the donny,

Vassie's just cludgy.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I tried to
[Gm] explain, you know, _ single ends
in Glasgow, sort of toilet with an outside ooze.

donny's places of great romance,
knee tremblers amongst the dust
wind, _ _ they'd perform
like an Irish piper, stonin' up.
_ _ _ _ [G] Good old days,
one eye
caught for the money coming out,
_ _ and the other eye
looking for ten o'clock
when the pubs closed
and the crime wave began. _ _ _

would come up, they're closed,
what's the fish doing in your bag? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
