Quare Things In Dublin
Chorus
G |
There's quare things in Dublin between Howth and Crumlin. |
C | G | Am | D |
Down in Rings | end there's a | five-legged | cat, |
| G |
A three- | legged donkey, two-headed monkey. |
| C | G | D | G |
There's | nothing so | quare as this | four-faced old | clock. |
G |
There's a clock in old Dublin that stands on a steeple, |
C | G | Am | D |
Proud and er | ect with four | faces so | tall. |
| G |
While | one of them says you are late, it's deceiving. |
| C | G | D | G |
The | other one | says it's a | quarter be | fore. |
| C | G | D |
You run down the | road and he | grins as you | hurry, |
| G | C | G | D |
Then | just round the | corner you | look up in sur | prise. |
| G |
It's | not quite the same as it was on the last street. |
C | G | D7 | G |
This bloody | blackguard is | telling me | lies. |
There's a half-hour to spare. Now how will I kill it
I'll nip up the road and nip in for a jar.
With the chimes of four bells, I look back in amazement.
His other side has gone past the hour.
There's a lesson in life to adopt and interpret.
It applies to all people regardless of race.
Don't put your trust or your faith in a person
If sometimes they seem to have more than one face
