Intro
C G D7 G
Chorus
G
There's quare things in Dublin between Howth and Crumlin
C G Am D
Down in Ringsend there's a five legged cat
G
And a three legged donkey, a two headed monkey
C G D G
There's nothing so quare as this four faced old clock.
Verse 1
G
There's a clock in old Dublin that stands on a steeple
C G Am D
Proud and erect with four faces so tall
G
While one of them says you are late it's deceiving
C G D G
The other one says it's a quarter to four
C G D
And you run down the road and he grins as you hurry
G C G D
When just round the corner you look in surprise
G
It's not quite the same as it was on the last street
C G D7 G
This bloody black-guard is telling me lies
Chorus
Verse 2
There's a half hour to spare now how will I kill it
I'll nip up the road hop in for a jar
With the chimes of four bells I look back in amazement
His other side it's gone past the hour
There's a lesson in life, to adopt and interpret
It applies to all people regardless their race
Oh don't put your trust or faith in a person
If sometimes they seem to have more than one face
Chorus
