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