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