Verse 1
Does anybody know
(G major) Big Kilmarnock Bunnett?
This is all about...
I don't actually know what
the song's about.
In the original, the hero,
he's a farm worker.
He gets sent down to Glasgow
and his mate tells him to go
and meet someone called Kate.
And he ends up in the Clyde
without his trousers on.
And I always kind of assumed
that Kate was a prostitute
and the wee boy didn't know
it
and it was some sort of weird set up.
So, I mention this only because
you understand.
I mentioned a place in Glasgow
called Blytheswood Square
and now that is very concerning
there is no need to get no no no no no
I expect a lot of you have already guessed
what happens in Blytheswood Square
or rather what used to happen
it doesn't anymore
(D major) I'm told (G major) so big Kalmar McBunnet
and a few very embarrassed men
My heed was burst fae drink
and I was (D major) choking back the (G major) sick
The customers were doing my nut,
the (E minor) boss was (A minor) be ing a (D major) prick
So I de (G major) cided then and there
that (D major) I just couldn't (G major) take no more
I quit the job and got the train to (A minor) Glas (G major) gow
In (D major) my (G major) big Camargo beret
on the (D major) train fae Falkirk
I'll (G major) never forget the trick
that played on (E minor) me by (A minor) John (D major) Mackay
He (G major) said if I was there to thrill,
just (D major) as we came, she (G major) sells the pills
She knocks about the Blythe's
Wood (E minor) Square in (A minor) Glas (D major) gow
(G major) (D major) (G major)
The train pulls into Queen Street,
so I (D major) stop a laddie (G major) there
I said here mate, you happen to ken the
(E minor) way to (A minor) Blythe's Wood (D major) Square
The (G major) boy squares up for ROTC
and (D major) stopped the fucking (G major) heed on me
And said, wee man,
you'll meet yer (E minor) match in (A minor) Glas (D major) gow
(G major) An (D major) d my (G major) wickled man had been out
on the (D major) train fae Fokker Pye
(G major) I'll never forget the trick
was played on (E minor) me by (A minor) John (D major) Mackay
He (G major) said if I was after thrills,
just (D major) ask me Kate
She (G major) sells a pouch,
she knocks about the flies and
(E minor) swear in (A minor) Glas (D major) gow (G major) (D major) (G major)
So I done a round the city
till I (D major) found a socky (G major) haw
My nose was pishin' blood,
had a (E minor) heed like (A minor) a burst (D major) bot
And (G major) naebody would stop at all,
they (D major) shook their heeds and (G major) ran awa
I thought they were the friendly
(E minor) types in (A minor) Glas (D major) gow
(G major) An (D major) d my (G major) bickle man had been out
on the (D major) train fae folk a pie
(G major) I'll never forget the trick was
played on (E minor) me by (A minor) John (D major) Mackay
He (G major) said if I was eft o' thrills,
just (D major) ask me Kate
She sells her (G major) coat,
she knocks her down,
the visor's (E minor) wearing (A minor) glare (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (E minor) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (E minor) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
So who's the best person
to ask
in this situation, who do I know
We'll have the information I require
At last I saw the police,
so to (D major) them I did de (G major) clare
Officers up looking for (E minor) a bird
in (A minor) Blytheswood (D major) Square
They (G major) said, you think you're smart,
wee man
And (D major) huckled me into (G major) the van
And that was how I got the
(E minor) gile in (A minor) Glas (D major) gow
(G major) I'm a big, cool man, a gunner
On the (D major) train from Fort (G major) McKay
I'll never forget the trick was
played on (E minor) me by (A minor) John (D major) McKay
He (G major) said if I was Eftoff,
Rose's (D major) ass we'd keep,
she sells her (G major) pills,
she knocks her bread,
the flies, it's (E minor) fair and (A minor) blis (D major) s
(G major) And my little Marlin Bunner on the (D major) train,
he'd fall back high
(G major) I'll never forget the trick was
played on (E minor) me with (A minor) John (D major) McKay
He (G major) said if I was Eftoff,
Rose's (D major) ass we'd keep,
she sells her (G major) pills,
she knocks her bread,
the flies, it's (E minor) fair and (A minor) bliss
(D major) (G major)
Thanks. Okay, now...
I normally do sad songs.
This is an unusually cheerful set for me.
But...
Here's a sad song.
