Max Boyce – Hyms And Arias chords
Chords:
Chorus: And we were (F) singing hymns and (C) arias, 'Land of my (G) Fathers', 'Ar hyd y (C) nos'. We (C)paid our weekly shilling for that (G)January (C)trip: A (C)long weekend in London, aye, (G)without a bit of (C)kip. There's a (F)seat reserved for beer by the (C)boys from (G)Aber(C)carn: There's (F)beer, (F#)pontoon, (G)crisps and fags and a croakin 'Calon (C)Lan' Chorus Into Paddington we did roll with an empty crate of ale Will has lost at cards and now his Western Mail's for sale But Will is very happy though his money all has gone: He swapped five photos of his wife for one of Barry John. Chorus We told the guard that we're from Wales, and asked 'Is Twickers far?' He said "You can catch a 48 man, but it isn't very far" On the bus were boys from Blaina who'd been to see the Queen So we had a quick Gymanfa, aye, it was the greatest London's seen. Chorus We got to Twickers early and were jostled in the crowd Planted leeks and dragons, looked for toilets all around So many there we couldn't budge - twisted legs and pale I'm ashamed we used a bottle that once held bitter ale. Chorus Wales defeated England in a fast and open game We sang "Cwm Rhondda" and "Delilah", damn, they sounded both the same: We sympathized with an Englishman whose team was doomed to fail So we gave him that old bottle that once held bitter ale! Chorus: He started singing... So it's down to Soho for the night, to the girls with the shiny beads To the funny men with lipstick on, with evil minds and deeds One said to Will from a doorway dark, damn, she didn't have much on But Will knew what she wanted, aye ... his photo of Barry John! Chorus x2: Cos she was singing... http://www.maxboyce.co.uk/
