[Verse 1]
D Em
John's family, it was everything
F#m G
And the children were his life
D A
And the neighbours always spoke of John so well
D Em
For once the cards stacked in his favour
F#m G
And the offer came his way
D A D A
Twenty pounds for one night's work, he might as well
[Verse 2]
D
John drove his lorry down an empty road
G D A
From Carryduff through Saintfield, Tollymore
D Em
But they found poor John's body
F#m G
On the side of the lonely road
D A D Em F#m G D A
And the neighbours heard the police tap on the door
[Verse 3]
D Em
Well, the police they took the phone call
F#m G
It said there'd been some mistake
D A
And apologies were sent to all concerned
D Em
Two hooded men had stopped John's lorry
F#m G
On the side of the lonely road
D A D A
But their bullet had been meant for someone else
[Verse 4]
D
John's family tried to understand it
G D A
They prayed in church for strength to pull them through
D Em
But they'd been seeing lorries
F#m G
On the sides of the lonely roads
D A D A
From Nineteen Sixty-Nine to Ninety-Two
[Chorus]
D
This ain't no precious song about Ireland
G D
So don't you dare mistake it
A
For the ones that you whistle when you're going home
D Em
It's not all leaving from some harbour
F#m G
It's not all step into my parlour
D A D Em F#m G D A
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling through it all?
[Verse 5]
D Em
Well, there were investigations
F#m G
Five minutes on the news
D A
And the mass card wore a picture of John's face
D Em
There was outrage
F#m G
Two letters in the paper
D A D A
And both sides of the fence, they sensed disgrace
[Verse 6]
D
And sure enough there were elections
G D A
Familiar cowboys tried to steal the show
D Em
Men spoke of changing attitudes
F#m G
While thirteen tired platitudes
D A D A
Pushed hope and poor John's lorry off the road
[Chorus]
D
This ain't no precious song about Ireland
G D
So don't you dare mistake it
A
For the ones that you whistle when you're going home
D Em
It's not all leaving from some harbour
F#m G
It's not all step into my parlour
D A
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling?
D A D Em F#m G D A
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling through it all?
