Track 1 - The Only Life Gloria Knows
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Verse 1]
The Csmoke on the Gstreet from the Amhamburger Fstand, it's
CHurting her Gnose and her Feyes
Each Cdoorway's a Gbedroom for AmGloria nowF  
And it's Cthere that one Gday she may Fdie
[Verse 2]
CShe sells her Gpapers withAmout ( ? ? ) Foff her
She Csleeps every Gnight in her Fclothes
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
[Verse 3]
CDrinking, she'll Gdance for the Amman on her oFwn, or
She'll Cgo for a Gride in their Fcar
And the Cseat's nice and Gwarm when you've Amstood for so Flong
And those Cmen ain't so Gbad before Fdark
[Verse 4]
But they Cnever pay Gmuch and their Amtouch is so Frough
They Csay, she's no Glife in her Fsoul
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
[Verse 5]
Her Cdays on the Gstreet wear the Amshoes from her Ffeet
And the Cwind puts a Gknife in her Farm
She Cgrabs at his throGat and reAmfuses a Fcoat
From a Cyoung man who Gmeans her no Fharm
[Verse 6]
CShe loved to Gchat, if the Amkids will Fchat back
But Cmost of her Gtime she's aFlone
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
[Instrumental]
C   G   Am   F   C   G   F(2x)
[Verse 7]
She Cmisses her Gbrother, can't Amspeak to her Fmother
Since her Cown father Gtold her to Fgo
CEvening is Gfalling, she Amthinks about callFing
But Csomething inGside her says 'Fno'
[Verse 8]
She Cspends her loose Gchange on a Ambottle aFgain
CDrinks it Gall down in one Fgo
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
[Verse 9]
There's Ctrouble in Glife between Amhusband and Fwife
And the Cbad days can Gbring you right Fdown
But be Csure that you Gknow where the Amlittle ones Fgo
And always Chave enough Glove to go 'Fround
[Verse 10] (fade to end)
CGloria Gsleeps in a AmdoorwayF  
And the Cwind bites her Gfingers and Ftoes
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows
CGloria's Gout on the Amstreet toFnight
It's the Conly life GGloria Fknows

Track 2 - Of Course I Will
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
F   C   G(2x)
[Verse 1]
She had a stomach every bit as flat as the table that she danced onC  
A tattoo just below the knee
She could Gwhistle every tune that I could play for her on the jukeboxC  
And then she'd dance for me
[Chorus]
She was Flooking for an Irish Clover
With a Gtwenty dollar bill
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I willF  C  G  
[Verse 2]
Perhaps I was mistaken, she was cold, but I was taken in by herC  
The way she looked at me
She Gsat by the piano with a shot-glass in her hand, and then sheC  
Turned and spoke to me
[Chorus]
She Fasked me if I knew old CLogan
I said, I Gknow him well
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I willF  
[Bridge]
She moved on Cup on the piGano stoolF  
Inviting Cme to sit Gdown on it
She said, "FI just won this Cpiano in a Gpoker game
How'd you Flike to be the Cfirst song I write Gon it?"F  
[Chorus]
I was her Irish Clover
I had a Gtwenty dollar bill
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I will
[Instrumental]
F   C   G(4x)
[Verse 3]
She said I made her smile, she let me stay with her awhile
And with my C(? Code Michael red I said?)G  
She gave me tea, she gave me breakfast
A Cbook about some captain's (?Marmolet?)F  
[Chorus]
I was her Irish Clover
With a Gtwenty dollar bill
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I will
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I will
She Fasked me to show her the Cmoon
I said, of Gcourse I will

Track 3 - Irish Eyes
[Intro]
C Dm Em F C G
[Verse 1]
John's Cfamily, it was Dmeverything
And the Emchildren were his Flife
And the Cneighbours always spoke of John so Gwell
For once the Ccards stacked in his Dmfavour
And the Emoffer came his Fway
Twenty Cpounds for one night's Gwork, he might as CwellG  
[Verse 2]
John drove his lorry down an Cempty road
From FCarryduff through CSaintfield, TollyGmore
But they Cfound poor John's Dmbody
On the Emside of the lonely Froad
And the Cneighbours heard the Gpolice tap on the CdoorDm  Em  F  C  G  
[Verse 3]
Well, the Cpolice they took the Dmphone call
It said Emthere'd been some misFtake
And aCpologies were sent to all conGcerned
Two hooded Cmen had stopped John's Dmlorry
On the Emside of the lonely Froad
But their Cbullet had been Gmeant for someone CelseG  
[Verse 4]
John's family tried to underCstand it
They Fprayed in church for Cstrength to pull them Gthrough
But Cthey'd been seeing Dmlorries
On the Emsides of the lonely Froads
From CNineteen Sixty-NGine to Ninety-CTwoG  
[Chorus]
This ain't no precious song about CIreland
So Fdon't you dare misCtake it
For the ones that you whistle when you're going Ghome
It's not all Cleaving from some Dmharbour
It's not all Emstep into my Fparlour
Why should CIrish Eyes keep Gsmiling through it Call?Dm  Em  F  C  G  
[Verse 5]
Well, there Cwere investiDmgations
Five Emminutes on the Fnews
And the Cmass card wore a picture of John's Gface
There was CoutrageDm  
Two Emletters in the Fpaper
And Cboth sides of the Gfence, they sensed disCgraceG  
[Verse 6]
And sure enough there were eClections
FaFmiliar cowboys Ctried to steal the Gshow
Men Cspoke of changing Dmattitudes
While Emthirteen tired Fplatitudes
Pushed Chope and poor John's Glorry off the CroadG  
[Chorus]
This ain't no precious song about CIreland
So Fdon't you dare misCtake it
For the ones that you whistle when you're going Ghome
It's not all Cleaving from some Dmharbour
It's not all Emstep into my Fparlour
Why should CIrish Eyes keep Gsmiling?
Why should CIrish Eyes keep Gsmiling through it Call?Dm  Em  F  C  G

Anthony John Clarke - Smooth Old Talk
[Intro]
D7 G C G D7 G
[Verse 1]
I write songs about poliD7ticians
GCorruption and seCdition
My Gsongs they tiptoe over the D7line
My Glecture in D7aptness
My Gpolitical incorCrectness
Mea Gculpa, all these D7songs, they are Gmine
[Verse 2]
I B7may reach a crescendo
With a Emtouch of innuendo
I Athrow in an item of neDws
There'll be Gsongs of deep deD7pression
Like a Gkaraoke Csession
And I Gmight do a D7song about Gyou
[Interlude]
C G D7 G
[Verse 3]
There'll be one for my friend, D7Lorna
She Glives just 'round the Ccorner
Now GLorna only ever listens to the D7blues
I have Gone for a friend in D7Chester
Whose Gparticular friend, CLester
Has just Gleft him to go D7back on the Gbooze
[Verse 4]
This B7over way inquisition
I'm an Emincompetent magician
I Afail to saw my woman in Dtwo
While Gacting arty-D7tarty
At some Glate-night tinker's D7party
So I Gmight do this D7song about Gyou
[Chorus 1]
But I want to know what D7brings you here toGnight
I want to know what brings you here toD7night
You see, GI'm up here, you're over there
Well, you Ccould be home in your easy-chair
GI want to know what D7brings you here toGnight
[Chorus 2]
Was it some Csmooth old talk?
Or did you Gjust take the dog for a big long walk?
Or Cdid you just sneak out behind your D7wife?
N.C.
Oh no, you would not do that
GI want to know, I want to know
CI want to know, I want to know
GI want to know what D7brings you here toGnight
[Instrumental]
C   G   D7   G(3x)
[Verse 5]
Singing on right, for D7nada
Being Gseven years old in CIreland
And I Gwon the great big kish and roD7mance
That Gtime in the café on the D7coast road
When deGlicious Sister Mary CJoseph
Sidled Gup to me and D7begged me for a Gdance (there ye are)B7  
[Verse 6]
There was the pretty little acrobat
She gave me Empeppermint tea and a pretty little hat
AShe did fifteen cartwheels on my Dfloor
That's a Gtopic not too D7cosy
For a Gbig jack-queen called D7Rosy
Who's Gnever heard or D7cried, "Collect them Gall!"
[Chorus 1]
But I want to know what D7brings you here toGnight
I want to know what brings you here toD7night
You see, GI'm up here, you're over there
Well, you Ccould be home in your easy-chair
GI want to know what D7brings you here toGnight
[Chorus 2]
Was it some Csmooth old talk?
GHey, take the dog for a walk
Or Cdid you just sneak out behind your D7wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
GI want to know, I want to know
CI want to know for sure
GI want to know what D7brings you here toGnightC  G  D7

Let me take you dancing at a B7nightclub
Nice shirt, tight suit, lose the purple high-boot
Shed a pound or two in the Emhot-tub
[Chorus]
He Amsaid he'd call over, but you knew he wouldn't make it
And he Emsaid he'd made you happy, but I think you knew he faked it

A little boy, ginger, if you B7fancy
There's nothing on the TV, take the paper, look and see
I'll ring and book a table down at EmNancy's
[Chorus]
You Amonly see a movie if Johnny Depp is in it
And you Embuy yourself a new dress, wear it once and then you bin it
And you B7get your weekly ticket, but you know you'll never win it

Took it and he took it and he took it and he took it

And he Emsaid he'd made you happy, but I think you knew he faked it
It was B7always on a plate and all he had to do was take it
And he took it and he took it and he took it and he took it
Took it and he took it and he took it and he took it

EmBring me toast and coffee every Sunday when I wake up
And I'll love you 'til the end of B7time
Let me wear your favourite yellow jumper when I want to
And I'll never tell your friends it's Emmine

Track 9 - The Wrong Way Round
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Jesus strolled on Royal E7AvenueC  
The church was closed, Sunday FafternoonDm  
He had some F6tea, he had to Dmjoin the queue
He said, "I Gdon't mind waiting"C/G  G  C  
[Verse 2]
He took his teacup and he E7found a seatC  
He stretched his legs across Fthat busy streetDm  
To watch a F6starling jump at Dmthings to eat
They just Gdon't mind waitingC/G  G  C  
[Pre-Chorus]
And he wrote this Gsong on FChristmas dayC  D  
With all his candles Gburning
[Chorus]
"My Cpeople are not Gspeaking, there's B7something Emwrong
And I Cthought that my reGturning might have B7made them Emstrong
And that CJingle Bells and Gjangle, I don't B7know that Emsong
But they're Amplaying it the wrong way Dround"C  
[Verse 3]
Jesus rose up, tried to E7take a busC  
He had no change, oh, there was Fsuch a fussC  Dm  
I think he F6stood 'bout two in Dmfront of us
He said, "I Gdon't mind waiting"C/G  G  C  
[Verse 4]
He heard the brass band playing E7on the streetC  
He tapped good time out to that FChristmas beatC  Dm  
And the way the woman F6stared down at his Dmhands and at his feet
Well, that Gtook some beatingC/G  G  C  
[Pre-Chorus]
And he wrote this Gsong on FChristmas dayC  D  
There in all his glorGy
[Chorus]
"My Cpeople are not Gspeaking, there's B7something Emwrong
And I Cthought that my reGturning might have B7made them Emstrong
And that CJingle Bells and Gjangle, I don't B7know that Emsong
But they're Amplaying it the wrong way Dround"
[Bridge]
So he Gwent in search of D/F#wise men and he Gtried to find the D/F#manger
He Gwent in search of D/F#lonely shepherds, Gshagging kings and D/F#angels
But Bball he found was a loneliness, and he Afelt like such a stranger
He said, "DEverything's the wrong way roGund"
[Interlude]
C G G/Bb A Dm C G C G C
[Verse 5]
He checked the shops out, strolled the E7bright arcadesC  
He ripped his white cloak on a FbarricadeDm  
The rolls of F6barbed-wire made him Dmfeel afraid
And Ghe was cryingC/G  G  C  
[Verse 6]
A woman touched him once and E7then againC  
Her hair was long and beautiful, but her Fface was plainDm  
"Could you F6be my Mary DmMagdalene?
Well, at Gleast you're crying"C/G  G  C  
[Verse 7]
He stopped to look, he was E7clearly lostC  
The botanic gardens on a FWinter frostDm  
He saw his F6image frozen Dmon a cross
Of GWinter brackenC/G  G  C  
[Verse 8]
Children playing by a E7tiny lakeC  
An infant shouted out, "Ah, fe' FJesus' sake!"Dm  
He knew then he'd F6made such a Dmgreat mistake
And he just Gkept on walkingC/G  G  C  
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no such Gthing as FChristmas dayC  D  
No Jingle Bells, no Gjangle
[Chorus]
"The Cempty church is Gshivering, those B7empty sonEmgs
And the Cway the children Gtry to stay up, B7all night Emlong
But it's Cnot me that they're Gwaiting for, no, that's B7all long Emgone
And Ameverything's the wrong way roDund"

And Fhe follows Cher in the Ghall

He tries Chard not to G/Bwake her as he Amtouches her Chair
It's as Dm7thoughG  
[Verse 6]
The Cwall clock is G/Bbroken, so he Amkeeps his own Ctime
He Dm7knows that she Cloves him, one Fday at a Gtime
And her Cbreathing is G/Bsweet love in a AmBurgundy Cwine
And they Dm7knowG  
[Verse 7]
There is Cno need to G/Bspeak out, there's Amno one else Cthere
ADm7lone words are Conly loose Fshapes in the Gair
And Cshe may be G/Bsleeping, but at Amleast she is Cthere
And she Dm7knowsG  
[Chorus]
He's a Cwinner, a G/Bloser, an acAmquaintance of Cmine
He's a Fpage from a Cnovel, she's the Gdust on his wine bottle
CHe's never G/Bearly, she's Amrarely on CtimeDm7  G  
[Chorus]
He's a Cwinner, a G/Bloser, an acAmquaintance of Cmine
He's a Fpage from a Cnovel, she's the Gdust on his wine bottle
CHe's never G/Bearly, she's Amrarely on CtimeDm7  G  F  C

CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I used to spend my time singing beneath the Fold pierC  
I liked to watch all the shapes on the FshoreC  
My very best friend, maybe a Fcold beerC  
You, sleeping my radiFo
[Pre-Chorus]
You were Cstrong enough
You'd walk in any room and you could Fact so tough

You even looked good in my Fcowboy hat
It was all Grock 'n' roll then
It was all Crock 'n' rollC7  C

We were Northern boys, came from a Fsmall townC  
The same cool jackets and the same FgirlsC  
Two old record players and two guiFtar strapsC  
You lived in my house and I lived in Fyours
[Pre-Chorus]
You were Cgood enough
We met these boys and girls who played, they Fslapped you up

Oh, I wanted to Cplay like that
But all I had was the Fcowboy hat
It was all Grock 'n' roll then
It was all Crock 'n' roll
[Instrumental]
C C7 C G C
[Verse 3]
I stayed at home, you went aFway, southC  
It's hard to get to see you in a cabaret FbandC  
You had a child, you had a FdaughterC  
She must be really proud of her old Fman
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanted to Clive like that
I gave your little girl my Fcowboy hat
It was all Grock 'n' roll then

He made a little cash for his Fown placeC  
Just a stone's throw from the FpierC  
Time I called, he changed the FjukeboxC  
Country music and American Fbeer

Track 13 - Tuesday Night Is Always Karaoke
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
Em A Em D
[Verse 1]
The Emwind blew so cold against the Cwest coast of Ireland
That DRita would not go into the Emwater
Picture the scene, mothers, Cfathers, ice-creams
DHuddled 'round their little sons and Emdaughters
[Verse 2]
Well, the Grain it cut right D/F#through me, it Emkept on pouring down
I Cfound a little Dhotel bar on the harbour side of Emtown
I Gsaid I’d play for nothing since the Dtourists was in Emtown
But GTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Chorus]
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 3]
OasiEms all the rage, "I'm down from CGorgy", climbed on stage
And he could Dhardly hold the mike for all that Embrandy
He intro'ed far too late and poor old CSally had to wait
Rita Dhollered that some words would come in Emhandy
[Verse 4]
GFathers pushing D/F#mothers up aEmgainst the microphone
CSisters goading Dbrothers, "Won't you lEmeave the lad alone
And a Gpriest from (?Nukarada?) shook his Dhead and headed Emhome
'Cause GTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Chorus]
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 5]
There's Gonly karaoke, D/F#on every sconeEm  
The Cwhistles and the Dfiddles and the bodhran stay at Emhome
I never Gheard a single mandolin or an acDcordion Emdrone
'Cause GTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 6]
EmJim turned Kyle Fergus with his Ceyes shut, lips are pursing
DJohn boy, he passed out at the next Emtable
Smokey Mountain Sweet, what came is Cgood enough to eat
Jim Dtried to sing in tune, but was not Emable
[Verse 7]
And Gpeople stood on chairs and tables, D/F#rocking to them Emall
CKnocking over Dnuns and children, laughing as they Emfall
And GSister Mary Joseph, she's the Dbiggest drunk of Emall
Those Gsinging nuns just Dlove their KaraEmoke
[Chorus]
And CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 7]
Hectic and electric, CasaCnova he's dyslexic
A wee DSligo Suzanne Vega sang "MarEmlene"
A coach load from Galway, cut their Ctour date, singing "My Way"
Vigo Ddid the stupid dance in MacaEmrena
[Verse 8]
And the Gpriest appeared from D/F#nowhere with "Those EmFields That Often Rye"
And a CWelshman murdered "DVincent" and "American EmPie"
And a Gfight broke out when someone said, his Dlady must be Emdry
But Gno one really Dcares, it's karaEmoke
[Chorus]
And CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 9]
There were fiddlers from Ross Trevor who'd like so Cmuch, they'd stay forever
And DSister Mary Joseph stood there Emscreaming
She lifted up her skirt, she grabbed the nearest Cpriest, she began to flirt
And the Dtour guide said, "They offered me a job, am I Emdreaming"
[Verse 10]
Then the Gpolice arrived in D/F#wagons like some Emextras from The Sting
And they Ccalled for reinDforcements, as their Emmobile phones did ring
They Gshouted at her, "Hey, Sister Mary Joseph, Ddo you know what time it Emis?"
And she said, "No, but you hum it and I'll sing"
[Chorus]
Cause CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 11]
"Get thee to a nunnery", cried CFather Michael Tullery
Your Dbehaviour here tonight is sacriEmlegious
Sister Mary Joseph took the floor and the Ccrowd all called for more
And old DBarry Manilow covers were conEmtagiousG  
[Verse 12]
They took their D/F#lighters and they Emwaved them in the air
She'd Cgone on stage to strut her "DLondonderry EmAir"G  
She tore her Dhabit, Emthere's her underwear
Those Gsinging nuns just Dlove their KaraEmoke
[Chorus]
And CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
[Verse 13]
Oh, there's only karaoke, on Cevery scone
The Dwhistles and the fiddles and the Embodhran stay at home
I never heard a single mandolin or an acCcordion drone
'Cause DTuesday night is always karaEmoke
[Chorus]
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke
CTuesday night is Dalways karaEmoke

Track 14 - Will You Sing A Chorus With Me
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
SomeGtimes the words stand out against the music
Sometimes the D7music stands alone
The tunes can just fly in from places far away
Sometimes they're Gborn right here at homeC  
[Verse 2]
They may be gentle, meek and Am7mild
Guide you exactly where you're D7goingC  
Then again, wondrously wiAm7ld
With no silver lining DshowingD7  
[Chorus 1]
Will you Gsing a chorus with me?
Will you do that last thing for me?
It's the only way I know that we're alDright
Sing a chorus with me and D7whisper it to me sweetly
Put your arms around me, hold your lover Gtight
[Chorus 2]
Oh, sing a chorus with me
Will you do that last thing for me?
Before we all walk off into the Cnight
The music stops you feeling blue
The Grhythm makes you tap your shoe
And you Dknow this thing called love's just out of GsightD  D7  G  
[Verse 3]
No sooner have you put your world together
Then something D7takes it all apart
You find that certain stranger you've been longing for
Guess what? She Gbreaks your heartC  
[Verse 4]
She may be gentle, meek and Am7mild
Guide you exactly where you're D7goingC  
Then again, wondrously Am7wild
With just a little tattoo DshowingD7  
[Chorus 1]
Will you Gsing a chorus with me?
Will you do that last thing for me?
It's the only way I know that we're alDright
Sing a chorus with me and D7whisper it to me sweetly
Put your arms around me, hold your lover Gtight
[Chorus 2]
Oh, sing a chorus with me
Will you do that last thing for me?
Before we all walk off into the Cnight
The music stops you feeling blue
The Grhythm makes you tap your shoe

[Chorus 1]
Will you Gsing a chorus with me?
Will you do that last thing for me?
