Now I'm sure you've heard the sorry tale of the day when Johnny fell,
But here's a side of the story, boys, you might not know so well.
E
When the hullabaloo was over, that night at the Castle Bar
A B E
Myself and the Five Cork Women had to bury Johnny Tarr!
E
We rolled him out the door to the morgue at Bishopstown,
We asked if they'd cremeate him, but the coroner wore a frown.
A B E
There's so much booze inside his veins he'll blow this place to hell!"
A E
So if it starts raining and the thunder rumbles loud,
A B
Johnny's fallen up in heaven and landed on a cloud.
C#m B
His tears are failing as he laughs for he knows that when you die,
A
In the big! Pub! Way up in the sky!
B G E
You'll never ever, ever, ever, ever drink 'em dry!
E
We finally got him out the door and we propped him again' the wall,
But we couldn't find a big enough hearse to carry him at all.
A B E
We found the Irish Navy, they had all gone home for tea.
A E
So if it starts raining and the thunder rumbles loud,
A B
Johnny's fallen up in heaven and landed on a cloud.

So once more we slowly rolled him, to the pub where he lived and died,
We went in to drown our sorrows, and we left the corpse outside.
A B E
There was Johnny frozen solid in the middle of the street.
E
So we covered him in concrete, and forevermore he'll stand
A pigeon on his baldy head and a pint glass in his hand.
A B E
"Please treat him as a Roundabout!" Yer man named Johnny Tarr!
