Quare Things In Dublin lyrics and chords

The Wolfe Tones lyrics and guitar chords, written by Brian Warfield, a comical look at old Dublin and a message saying not to put your thrust in people that have two faces, just like the clocks with four faces. Alternative chords, G=D, C=G, Am=Em, D=A. The sheet music for tin whistle is included.

[G]There's quare things in Dublin between Howth and Crumlin.
[C]Down in Rings[G]end there's a[Am] five-legged[D] cat,
A three-[G]legged donkey, two-headed monkey.
There’s[C] nothing so[G] quare as this[D] four-faced old[G] clock.
 
[G]There's a clock in old Dublin that stands on a steeple,
[C]Proud and er[G]ect with four[Am] faces so[D] tall.
While[G] one of them says you are late, it's deceiving.
The[C] other one[G] says it’s a[D] quarter be[G]fore.
You run down the[C] road and he[G] grins as you[D] hurry,
Then[G] just round the[C] corner you[G] look up in sur[D]prise.
It's[G] not quite the same as it was on the last street.
[C]This bloody[G] blackguard is[D7] telling me[G] lies.
 
There's a half-hour to spare. Now how will I kill it
I'll nip up the road and nip in for a jar.
With the chimes of four bells, I look back in amazement.
His other side has gone past the hour.
There's a lesson in life to adopt and interpret.
It applies to all people regardless of race.
Don't put your trust or your faith in a person
If sometimes they seem to have more than one face
​Here's a version of the song chords in the key of D

[D]There's quare things in Dublin between Howth and Crumlin.
[G]Down in Rings[D]end there's a[Em] five-legged[A] cat,
A three-[D]legged donkey, two-headed monkey.
There’s[G] nothing so[D] quare as this[A] four-faced old[D] clock.
 
[D]There's a clock in old Dublin that stands on a steeple,
[G]Proud and er[D]ect with four[Em] faces so[A] tall.
While[D] one of them says you are late, it's deceiving.
The[G] other one[D] says it’s a[A] quarter be[D]fore.
You run down the[G] road and he[D] grins as you[A] hurry,
Then[D] just round the[G] corner you[D] look up in sur[A]prise.
It's[D] not quite the same as it was on the last street.
[G]This bloody[D] blackguard is[A7] telling me[D] lies.
