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