I Had A Hat(Chords)

	        

 D   
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack, 
 D                                                          A 
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back; 
 D   
I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout, 
 D                                                  A         D 
But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out!

Casey wore his brand new hat to Murphy's wake last night, 
 D                                                 A 
Someone stole his hat and, boys, it started up a fight; 
 D       
Casey smashed the furniture, the radio as well, 
 D                         A 
He nearly woke the corpse up when he began to yell:

 D   
Casey kept on shouting, boys, they couldn't keep him quiet, 
 D                                                   A 
Someone phoned up for the cops to come and stop the riot; 
 D   
Two cops rushed into the room, but Casey laid them out, 
 D                           A 
He fired them through the window, they both heard Casey shout: 

verse 3:
 
 D   
Casey kept on shouting, boys, till one-eyed Paddy Flynn, 
 D                                               A 
Socked him on the whiskers with a great big rolling pin; 
 D   
He knocked poor Casey senseless, it was an awful clout, 
D                             A 
As he lay there unconscious Casey kept on shouting out:
