More chords by Billy Connolly

From the 1977 live album "Raw Meat For The Balcony". A lampoon of Buck Owens'
"Cryin' Time"
Each chorus should be progressively more slurred (but not the verses).
[Chorus]
C G7
Oh it’s closin’ time again you’ll have to leave us
C
Yous have got that far away look in your eyes
C7 F
We’ve got to hose the lavvy down and count the tumblers
C G7 C
And wipe the stoor from off tomorrow’s pies
[Verse 1]
G7
Oh the Scottish pubs they’re gaunnae be like England
C
They’re lettin’ us drink up an hour late
C7 F
But that’ll no affect the crowd in my pub
C G7 C
‘Cause they’re all steamin’ drunk by half past eight
[Chorus]
C G7
Oh it’s closin’ time again you’ll have to leave us
C
Yous have got that far away look in your eyes
C7 F
We’ve got to hose the lavvy down and count the tumblers
C G7 C
And wipe the stoor from off tomorrow’s pies
[Verse 2]
G7
You should see the way they come in here at openin’
C
It’s a wonder they’re allowed out on their ain
C7 F
Stone cold sober they come in like Mickey Rooney
C G7 C
Three pints later they barge oot like big John Wayne
[Chorus]
C G7
Oh it’s closin’ time again you’ll have to leave us
C
Yous have got that far away look in your eyes
C7 F
We’ve got to hose the lavvy down and count the tumblers
C G7 C
And wipe the stoor from off tomorrow’s pies
[Verse 3]
G7
Oh there’s gonna be big changes made in this pub
C
There’ll be topless lassies servin’ up your beer
C7 F
Well I told the boss that’s sex discrimination
C G7 C
I’ve been wearin’ topless trousers here for years
[Chorus]
