A[D] long time ago, way [A] back in histo- [D] ry,
When all there was to drink was [G] nothin' but cups of [A] tea,
A- [D] long came a man by the [G] name of Charlie [D] Mopps,
And he invented the wonderful drink, and he [A] made it out of [D] hops.

Chorus:
Hey! He must have been an admiral, a [A] sultan or a [D] king,
And to his praises [G] we shall always [A] sing;
[D] Look at what he's done for us, he's [G] filled us up with [D] cheer,
Lord, bless Charlie Mopps, the [A] man who invented... [D]
Beer, beer, beer, [A] tiddley [D] beer, beer, beer...

The Dury's pub and the Stag the Wexford Inn as well 
One thing you can be sure of, it's [G] Charlie's beer they [A] sell;
So [D] all you lads and lasses, at [G] eleven o'clock you [D] stop,
For five short seconds, [A] remember Charlie [D] Mopps!

One... two... three... four... five...

Chorus:
Hey! He must have been an admiral, a [A] sultan or a [D] king,
And to his praises [G] we shall always [A] sing;
[D] Look at what he's done for us, he's [G] filled us up with [D] cheer,
Lord, bless Charlie Mopps, the [A] man who invented... [D]
Beer, beer, beer, [A] tiddley [D] beer, beer, beer...

A bushel of malt, a barrel of hops, [A] stir it around with a [D] stick,
The type of lubrication to [G] make your engine [A] tick;
[D] Forty pints of wallop a day will [G] keep away the [D] quacks,
It's only eight pence halpenny a pint, and [A] one and six in [D] tax.

One... two... three... four... five...

Chorus:
Hey! He must have been an admiral, a [A] sultan or a [D] king,
And to his praises [G] we shall always [A] sing;
[D] Look at what he's done for us, he's [G] filled us up with [D] cheer,
Lord, bless Charlie Mopps, the [A] man who invented... [D]
Beer, beer, beer, [A] tiddley [D] beer, beer, beer...
