This is a [D] song about a man from Liverpool who died many years ago.
He was a busker, he ran a sideshow.
[A] And he only got whisky on a Sunday.
If you're wondering what this is, it's a thing for people who didn't learn the guitar in the school of music.
[D] Oh, he sits at the corner [G] of Beggar's Bush, [A] a-stride off an owl-packing [D] case.
And the dolls at the end [G] of the plank were dancing [A] as he crooned with a [D] smile on his face.
La la [Bm] la la, come [A] day go day, wishing we had [D] a Sunday.
[F#] La la [Bm] la la, [A] drinking Mulligan [Em] all the week, [A] and it's whisky on [D] a Sunday.
His tired old hands rub a [G] wooden [A] beam, and the puppets they danced up [D] and down.
A far better show [G] than you ever will see [A] in the fanciest theatre [D] in town.
[F#] La la [Bm] la la, come [A] day go day, wishing we had [D] a Sunday.
[F#] La [Bm] la la la, drinking Gunnamilk [Em] all the week, [A] and it's whisky on [D] a Sunday.
In 1902, [G] all said Davey died, [A] this song it was heard no [D] more.
The three dancing dolls [G] in the dustbin were thrown, [A] and the plank went to bend the [D] back door.
La la [Bm] la la, come [A] day go day, wishing we had a Sunday.
[D] La [Bm] la la la, drinking [Em] Gunnamilk all the week, [A] and it's whisky on a [D] Sunday.
On some stormy night, [G] if you're passing that way, [A] when the wind blowing [D] up from the sea,
you may still hear the song [G] of old said Davey [A] as he croons to his dancing [D] dolls three.
La la [Bm] la la, come [A] day go day, wishing we had a [D] Sunday.
[Bm] La la la la, drinking [Em] Gunnamilk all the week, [A] and it's whisky [D] on a Sunday.
La [Bm] la la la, drinking [A] Gunnamilk all the week, and it's whisky [D] on a Sunday.
