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