_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] I'm never a trouble
He was fond [C#] of the drubby, fond of the booze
A fella from Cady
[D] He would drink it out of [G#] anything
A [N] smelly welly or a dirty [B] mug
Or an [Dm] oil can, [D] anything he could get his hands on
As long as it was _ _ _ booze
Somebody threw a petal bomb into a pub one night and he [A] drank it _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ He went on [D] the tear one time, for about four or five days he was missing
And they found him in Belfast one morning, and the head pumping off him
He says, who in the name of God said two heads was better than one?
_ And he's walking along the footpath and he wanted to get to the far side and he stepped off
And as he did so, a car came along and brushed against [G#] him
And he fell down, and he was about to get up and go on about his business
But he looked up from where he was laying in the gutter
_ And he saw a lovely, shiny front on the car
An RR on the top [A] of her, _ a Rolls Royce _
[N] He decided he'd lay where he was
He started shouting, my back, my back, my back's broke, my back _
The driver got out, put him into the car, took him off to the hospital
They examined him for seventeen hours, they couldn't find a damn thing wrong with him
He kept roaring and shouting about the [Dm] back
They kept him in for three months _ _
And eventually they let him out in a wheelchair
_ _ Still complaining about the back
_ About seven or eight weeks after he got out, there was a big law case about this accident
_ [N] In Irma
_ And after deliberating for nineteen days, they awarded him 83,000 pounds
He's coming down out of the courthouse in Irma in the wheelchair
This fellow walked over and said, excuse me
_ _ _ I'm an investigator for the insurance company
You fooled the doctors and you fooled the lawyers and you fooled the police and you fooled the general public
But you didn't fool me for a second
_ And for every minute you're alive and every breath you breathe
There's going to be one of my men looking down your throat
_ _ _ Fair enough says this neighbour of mine
_ But I hope the fellow you're watching me tomorrow morning is a Catholic
_ Because I'm going down to the airport in Belfast
_ And I'm going to get on an aeroplane
_ _ And I land in Lourdes
And I won't be there ten minutes till I've seen the greatest miracle that's happened in a hundred years
_ Right
