Its H[Bb]appy Hour[Dm] again
I thi[Eb]nk I migh[F]t be happy if I wasn't out with them
And t[Bb]hey're ha[Dm]ppy its a lovely place to be
Happy[Eb] that the[F] fire is real the barman is a she
Where[Bb] the haircuts smile
And t[Bb]he meaning of style
Is a [Bb]night out with the[F] boss
And i[Bb]ts them who choose
And i[Bb]f you don't win th[F]en you've lost
What a good place to be
Don't believe it
'cause they speak a different language
And it never really happened to me
Don't believe it
'cause they speak a different language
And it's never been happy to me
It's another night out with the boss
Following in footsteps overgrown with moss And they tell me
that women grow on trees And if you catch them right they will
land upon their knees
Where they open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a drink
And then we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen sink
[G]Me and the farmer ge[C]t on fine
[A]Through stormy weath[D]er and bottles of wine
If I pu[G]ll my weight he'll tr[C]eat me well
[A]But I'f I'm late he'[D]ll give me h[G]ell
[Bm]And though it's all hard work no play
[C]Farmer is a happy crook,
[Bm]Jesus hates him every day,
[C]Cause Jesu[A]s gave and [D]Farmer took
[G]Won't he let you go probab[C]ly no
[A]Won't he let you go probab[D]ly no
[G]Why does he treat you so? I [C]just don't know
[A]Why does he treat you so? I [D]just don't know
[C]Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
[D]Getting on like hand and blister
[C]Me and th[D]e farmer
He's chopped down sheep, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And worked his workers right around the clock.
It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactlt true
And though God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All we've got is London Zoo
'cause farmer owns them all
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
[CHORUS]
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
[CHORUS]
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be
[Pre Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people,
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
But though they may be parted,
There is still a chance that they may see
There will be an answer, let it be
[CHORUS]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
[Pre Chorus]
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on till tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
[CHORUS]
Well she was just seventeen,
if you know what I mean,
And the way she looked
was way beyond compare,
So how could I dance with another,
when I saw her standing there.
Well she looked at me,
and I, I could see,
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another,
when I saw her standing there.
[Chorus]
Well my heart went boom
when I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Well we danced through the night,
and we held each other tight,
And before too long
I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another,
since I saw her standing there.
[Instrumental same as verse]
[Chorus]
[Repeat last verse]
Since I saw her standing there.
Since I saw her standing there.
Baby's good to me, you know,
She's happy as can be, you know,
She said so.
I'm in love with her and I feel fine.
[Chorus]
Baby says she's mine, you know,
She tells me all the time, you know,
She said so.
I'm in love with her and I feel fine.
[Bridge]
I'm so glad that she's my little girl.
She's so glad, she's telling all the world.
That her baby buys her things, you know.
He buys her diamond rings, you know,
She said so.
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Don't you get ahead of me,
and I won't leave you behind,
If you get unhappy,
won't you show me a sign,
There's no love like lost love,
and no pain like a broken heart,
There's no love like you and me,
and no loss like us apart.
Promises, Promise is,
only a word
And when softly spoken
is ne-e-e-e-ver heard,
And a he-e-e-art
is not a stone,
and is fragile,
is fragile when alone.
[Chorus] [X2]
By my side,
By my side,
Won't you be by my si-i-ide
Oh my care for you
is from the ground up to the sky
It's over, under, up above,
down below and to the side,
theres no use in pretending,
no use in saving face
For my love is never ending,
and you are my sa-a-a-a-ving grace.
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
and you need some love and care
and nothin', nothin' is goin' right,
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
To brighten up
even your darkest night.
[Chorus]
You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
and I'll be there.
You've got a friend.
If the sky, above you
grows dark and full of clouds.
And that ol' north wind begins to blow,
Keep your head together
and call my name out loud;
Soon you'll hear me knockin'
at your door.
[Chorus]
I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in all places
As I go running down your street
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
And we may never forget it
I will make you call my name as you shout to the blue summer sky
[Chorus]
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know i will never say goodbye
And though i try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
[Chorus]
[Repeat Verse 2]
[Chorus]
It's not time to make a change,
just relax and take it easy
You're still young
that's your fault,
there's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want to, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now,
and I know that its not easy to be calm,
when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow,
but your dreams may not
[Chorus]
How can I try to explain?
when I do he turns away again
it's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
now there's a way
and I know I have to go away
and I know
I have to go
It's not time to make a change,
just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young,
that's your fault,
there's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want to you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
All the times that I cried,
keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree,
but it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way,
and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

1 You who are on the road
2 And you, of tender years,
1 Must have a code that you can live by
2 Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
1 And so become yourself
2 And so please help them with your youth,
1 Because the past is just a good-bye.
2 They seek the truth before they can die.
1 Teach your children well
2 Teach your parents well,
1 Their father's hell did slowly go by,
2 Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
and know they love you
[Intro] E Am E Am
Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
[Chorus]
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
