I Had A Hat

D D I had a hat when I came in, I hung it on the rack, D D A And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back; D D I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout, D Bm G A D But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out! D D Casey wore his brand new hat to Murphy's wake last night, A A Someone stole his hat and, boys, it started up a fight; D G A D Casey smashed the furniture, the radio as well, Bm A He nearly woke the corpse up when he began to yell: D D I had a hat when I came in, I hung it on the rack, D D A And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back; D D I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout, D Bm G A D But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out! D D Casey kept on shouting, boys, they couldn't keep him quiet, A A Someone phoned up for the cops to come and stop the riot; D G A D Two cops rushed into the room, but Casey laid them out, Bm A He fired them through the window, they both heard Casey shout: D D I had a hat when I came in, I hung it on the rack, D D A And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back; D D I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout, D Bm G A D But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out! D D Casey kept on shouting, boys, till one-eyed Paddy Flynn, A A Socked him on the whiskers with a great big rolling pin; D G A D He knocked poor Casey senseless, it was an awful clout, Bm A As he lay there unconscious Casey kept on shouting out: D D I had a hat when I came in, I hung it on the rack, D D A And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back; D D I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout, D Bm G A D But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out!
