Chords

[Intro] G C D [Verse 1]
G           C         D   D7
Sitting in bars and cafés

        Am          G
Writing songs about songs

    Em           D
And plays within plays

        C         G
But how rarely we dare

         Em             D
To write something that says

   C           G        D
Anything about bars and cafés
[Chorus]
                G
Be true to your bar

                 D
And don’t let it down

   C                          G
Or else it may not always be around

D               G
Be true to your friends

                     D
And let your friends know

    C                                   G
Without your bar you’d have no place to go
[Break] G C D D7 [Verse 2]
G               C           D    D7
You can’t drink tea all day long

            Am          G
You’ll have two heart attacks

           Em              D
Before you write the third song

        C             G
And how barely you’ll care

       Em           D
If the rhythm’s all wrong

         C          G            D
Drinking Irish Breakfast all day long
[Verse 3]
G              C           D   D7
Eight hours is all you can take

   Am            G
Of tea at St. Dymphna’s

  Em             D
Until your hands shake

       C            G
Then repair to your lair

    Em            D
For booze and beefcake

           C               G           D
Eight more hours, till you can’t stay awake
[Chorus]
                G
Be true to your bar

                 D
And don’t let it down

   C                          G
Or else it may not always be around

D               G
Be true to your friends

                     D
And let your friends know

    C                                   G
Without your bar you’d have no place to go

D               G
Be true to your bar

                 D
And don’t let it down

   C                          G
Or else it may not always be around

D               G
Be true to your friends

                     D
And let your friends know

    C                                   G  D
Without your bar you’d have no place to go

                G
Be true to your bar
