DELANEY'S GONE BACK ON THE WINE Johnny Mulhearn sung by mary Coughlan capa 1
Bm G D A
In a rundown little tavern, back in old Galway Town,
Bm A
Where the boys and me would practice every day.
G D Bm
Over in the Square amongst his cronies there
E A
big Jo Delaney's mandolin held sway
Bm G D A
Occasionally he'd drop in, to buy another bottle,
Bm A
until the day he joined in our strange song.
G D
Since then we've been together,
Bm
one-night-stands and stormy weather.
E
And after all the souped-up cocktails,
A
this is all that's left to say.
CHORUS
D G A
Delaney's gone back on the wine.
D G A
Too many years spent marching in time
G A Bm
Now he's like all the other bums:
E A
Sorry, but so glad to be alone.
D G A
He didn't move out right away.
D G A
Spent a few evenings just tearing out his hair
G A Bm
While all the kids just stared.
E A
And we moaned about who really cared.
G D
And when we were starry-eyed.
Bm G
All good friends lapping up our style
D A
But now, the blitz has hit town.
G A
There's nobody around, there's nobody around
CHORUS
D G A
Delaney's gone back on the wine.
D G A
Too many years spent marching in time
G A Bm
Now he's like all the other bums:
E A
Sorry, but so glad to be alone.
D G A
Delaney's gone back on the wine.
D G A
In a few years it won’t seem like such a crime
G A Bm
So, farewell lounge bar blues
E A
Sorry, but so glad to be alone.
