_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] I went to a family when I was a kid.
We did like a workshop in school.
[E] And I remember I smelt a little bit of piss. _ _ _
I used to be [G] a very unclean boy.
_ [D] _
And [D#] I'm very clean [G] nowadays. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I was this last called Polly.
[A] _
_ [D] I think this is going well. _ _ _
This is last called [G] Polly. _
We were [E] doing a swap round.
I'm sorry. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] Of the instruments.
And she stepped over [G] _
_ something like _ that [E] I guess.
_ [A] _ _ [G] And the guy who's running the [E] class was like, No!
_ _ No! _
[F#] You know, I'm going to step over the instruments because it's considered [G] as one instrument _ imbibed with the spirit.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [F#] To step over the instrument [G] is to offend _ the spirit of the down-arm.
_ _ _ _ And she [C] died a day later.
[F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm going to sing a wee song [F#] with Fatso Hoyes.
[D] _ I really enjoyed singing last [F#] night.
I opened the microphone like this.
I felt like a kid in heatness. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] I'm going to sing a wee one and then _ [G] let you get on with [A] what you're here for in the first chorus.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
It's been a year _ since last we met.
_ _ We may _ never _ meet _ _ again. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ I feel like I'm going [G] to get a block out of [F#] _ stereophonics.
_ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Have I got time to do the Kural Toss only?
It's about six [F#] minutes.
I feel like I've rambled on. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ I [D#]
wrote a song about [B] a three-legged killer and a horse called [N] Goethe.
_ _ _ _ Enjoy.
[E] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
A Goethe in a Tannish _ Yard.
Three young men were _ joying _ hard.
A poor old horse they'd stitch to _ kill.
_ [C] He fell at last to dead [G#m] stress _ bill.
[G] _ Poor old _ horse.
Poor _ old _ horse.
_ He what they did to the _ poor old _ _ _ horse.
_ [N] His palms around the hilt of the _ _ axe delivered _ such a [G] horrible blow. _ _ _
The horse emerged [C] a [G] straddled _ cry. _ _ _ _ _
He _ glanced it just _ above the _ _ [D#] eye. _ _
Poor [Gm] old _ _ horse.
[N] Poor _ _ old _ horse.
_ He what they did to [C] the poor old [G] _
_ _ horse.
[D] _ _ [D#] And now to put it out [G] of _ pain, _ a billy took _ another [D#] _ aim. _ _
The horse emerged a _ straddled _ cry. _ _ _ _
[N] He glanced it just above the eye.
_ [D#] Poor _ old _ _ [F] horse.
Poor _ _ [F#] old _ horse. _
He what they did to [C] the poor _ old [G] _ _ _
horse.
_ _ _ [D] _ I'll try no more _ conceited _ bill.
So up [G] step Ned to test his skill.
_ _ He whacked the poor thing on the _ _ nose.
He sprained his wrist and bloodied his clothes. _ _
Poor old _ horse. _ _
[D] Poor old _ horse. _
[N] He what they did to the [C] _ poor old _ _
[G] horse.
_ The [D] foreman came then with his _ _ knife, [N] _
determined for to take its _ life.
He took his aim and thrust it home.
At last he hit the collar _ bone. _
_ _ [G] Poor old _ _
[D] horse.
Poor _ old _ _ [G] horse.
He what they did to the poor _ old _ _ horse. _ _
They broke its leg with a rusty _ _ spade.
_ Then all upon it [F] heavily _ [G] laid. _ _
The quail, the struggle, each did their _ part.
[N] _ _
Until _ the blade had [G] reached its _ heart.
_ Poor old _ _ [Gm] horse.
Poor _
[A] _ old _ [G] horse. _
He what they did to the [C#] _ poor old _ _ _ _ [G] horse.
_ _ _ Now each he goes his separate _ _ path.
[N] For a cup full of ale or a nice [D] hot bath.
_ _ _ [F#]
A kiss on the lips [B] of a wife newly [C#] wed.
Or a look on the baby [G] _
sleeping in bed.
_ _ _ [D] _
Poor _ old _ _ horse.

_ He what [Gm] they did to the poor _ old _ horse.
[F#] _ _
Poor _ old _ _ _ [Gm] _
horse.
[D] _ Poor _ old horse.
