_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] me _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Gm] tell you a little story about a man named Johnny [Dm] Tarr.
He was [Gm] a hard drink [F] son
of a preacher, [Dm] always at the bar.
[Gm] [Am] Lager from the tap or [Gm] shots of paddy from [Dm] the shelf.
[Gm] He could open his [Dm] straddle and throw back a [Gm] bottle as quick as the [Dm] devil himself, [Gm] Johnny
Tarr.
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ [Gm] And the word got [Dm] around that [Gm] Johnny Tarr was [Dm] no fender.
From Clare to [F] here they'd
knock up the [G] beer when Johnny [Dm] went on a bender.
[Gm] Down [F] at Ricky Mac's, [Gm] their rising sun [Dm] or at
Swan.
[Gm] He was drinking [Dm] by seven by ten to [D] eleven when all the booze would be gone, [C] Johnny Tarr. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Gm] And even [F] if you saw it yourself you wouldn't [G] believe it but I wouldn't trust a person [Bb] like
me if [C] I were you.
[G] I [F] wasn't there, I swear I [C] haven't had a [Gm] body hurt if [F] I'm a man who
[Bb] knows a fella who [C] says it's true. _ _ _ _
[Gm] It was nine [D] in the morning [G] on a cold [Dm] and rainy night.
[Gm] Johnny walked [Dm] into the castle [Gm] bar to [F] get tight.
He [Gm] had money [Dm] in his pocket, [G] he had whiskey
[Dm] in his eye.
[G] He said get off of [Dm] your asses and set up the glasses I'm drinking [F] this place dry.
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ [Gm] Now [Dm] all the serious boozers [Gm] they were soon [F] broken hearted [G] when Johnny [Dm] finished off six
[Gm] and he was only [Dm] getting started [Gm] guzzling [Dm] down the pints [Gm] and knocking them [F] back like candy.
[G] He was looking all [Dm] right to be drinking all [Gm] night then Nora brought out the [C] brandy, Johnny
Tarr. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [G] And [F] even if you saw it yourself [C] you wouldn't believe it but I [G] wouldn't trust a person like [Bb] me
if I [C] were you.
[Gm] Sure I wasn't [F] there, I [Bb] swear I [C] haven't had a [Gm] body hurt if [F] I'm a man who [Bb] knows a fella who [C] says it's true.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Johnny drank [Dm] the whole damn bottle, [G] had another [Dm] pint or two.
When it made [F] no impression he started a session with
[Dm] Murphy's Millennium Brew.
He was waiting for his pint [Gm] when his face turned [Dm] green. _
[Gm] Jesus Johnny [Dm] fell down
nap, [Gm] there were only [F] fifteen.
[Gm] Now you could have heard [Dm] a pin drop [G] and the crowd let [Dm] out a roar.
[Gm] He took five [Dm] car women to [Gm] lift Johnny [Dm] off the floor.
[Gm] The doctor [Dm] looked him over [Gm] said you better [F] call the
horse.
[G] But it's not what you're [Dm] thinking it wasn't a [Gm] drinking this man [C] died of thirst, Johnny Tarr.
