The Old Number 10 - Bernard Bolan
C
In the town that I once called me home,
Em
It was early in winter; the evening was chill.
G
Just in for the day, and then far off tomorrow,
C
I'd just a few hours to kill.
Though I was indifferent, me feet were quite certain
Em
Of just where they wanted to be:
G
It was off to the Old Number Ten where my friends
C
Would be drinking and waiting for me.
F Em
I first had me doubts when the paint on the outside
F C
Was no longer peeling and old,
F Em
And a sign that said gaily "Hot lunches served daily"
Dm G
Had the blood in me veins running cold.
CHORUS:
F C Em walk up to A in bass
You drinking men at the Old Number Ten,
F C
You seem such a long time ago.
F C Em
You seem so much different since last time we met,
G walk down to E walk up to C
But maybe it's me; I don't know.
C
Into the bar I went, ordered a jar and then
Em
Looked for a face from the past,
G
But no one there knew me; the way they looked through me,
C
I might have been made out of glass.
I said "I used to come here, you know, years and years ago."
Em
"Well, Sir, it must warm your heart
G
To see, how we've changed it and quite rearranged it
C
And got it all looking quite smart.
F Em
"I can tell by your clothes you're a fella who knows
F C
The way a good pub should be run,
F Em
With no spitting or swearing or overall-wearing
Dm G
Like the old days when you used to come".
F C Em walk up to A in bass
But you drinking men at the Old Number Ten,
F C
You seem such a long time ago.
F C Em
You seem so much different since last time we met,
G walk down to E walk up to C
But maybe it's me; I don't know.
With me heart feeling heavy as I was just ready
Em
To finish me Guinness and go,
G
I saw an old face that glistened in the fire that had listened
C
To more tales than you'll ever know.
With the years in between, it was foolish to dream
Em
That he'd ever remember my face,
G
But I bought him a beer and as I set it down near him,
C
The old man looked up from his place.
F Em
"By Christ, is it thee?" he said. "Well, bugger me," he said.
F C
"Champion to see thee again!
F Em
Isn't it strange how you just haven't changed?" I said.
Dm G
"Neither have you, me old friend."
F Em
"Is it thee?" he said. "I'll go to sea" he said.
F C
"Champion to see thee again!
F Em
Isn't it strange how you just haven't changed?" I said.
Dm G
"Neither have you, my old friend."
F C Em walk up to A in bass
But you drinking men at the Old Number Ten,
F C
You seem such a long time ago.
F C Em
You seem so much different since last time we met,
G walk down to E walk up to C
But maybe it's me; I don't know.
