[Intro]
D A7 D
[Verse 1]
N.C. D There's a character I've met in my travels A7 And of him in this song I will tell
Just listen and you'll be reminded
D
Of someone like him you know wellHe annoys everyone who is near him
G Sitting there on his barstool D He's a really nice bloke when he's sober A7 D But a pain in the rear when he's full...
[Verse 2]
D With each drink he gathers more wisdom A7 While good manners take a back seat
He butts in on your conversation
D
And bores you until you retreatThen he starts on the barmaid or barman
G With unlimited dull boring junk D He's a man of few words when he's sober A7 D But you can't shut him up when he's drunk
[Interlude]
G A7 D
[Verse 3]
D Oh, they're personal friends of the famous A7 Singers, dancers and sportsmen and so
And they tell all the bad things about them
D
Or the deeds they you don't want to knowRepeating themselves as they maul you
G You're a bloody good bloke they insist D They don't know you at all when they're sober A7 D But you're their best friend when they're plastered
[Verse 4]
D Oh, I'm using a man for example A7 But we know lots of women the same
And quite often they're worse than the men are
D
'Cause no one can talk like a dameThey'll hug you and call you oh darlin'
G You're the only great hero I choose D And they're pretty stand off-ish when sober A7 D But come on like a rash when they're boozed
[Interlude]
G A7 D
[Verse 5]
D So with each drink they gather more wisdom A7 While good manners take a back seat
And they butt in on your conversation
D
And bore you until you retreatThen they start on the barmaid or barman
G While swaying there on their barstool D Oh, they're pretty nice folk when they're sober A7 D But a pain in the rear when they're full. All together
[Chorus]
D Then they start on the barmaid or barman G While swaying there on their barstools D Well, they're pretty nice folk when they're sober A7 D But a pain in the rear when they're full. All together
[Verse 6]
D Yeah, with each drink they gather more wisdom A7 While good manners take a back seat
And they butt in on your conversation
D
And bore you until you retreatThen they start on the barmaid or barman
G While swaying there on their barstools D Well, they're really nice folk when they're sober A7 D But a pain in the rear when they're full. Dah dah da dah
