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