G                           
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack
                                       C   B   A   G                                    
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll 
C   B   A   G    D                        G
                    break somebody's back

[Verse 1]
G         D     
G         C     D
G                                                  D    
Casey wore his brand new hat to Murphy's wake last night
G                             C            D
Someone stole my hat boys, it started up a fight
G                 C              G          D
Casey smashed the furniture, the radio as well
G                  C              D            G
He nearly woke the corpse up when he began to yell

[Chorus 2]
  G                                              D        
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack
         G                                 C                D
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back
       C        B      A     G       C               D
I'm a peaceful loving man, I am, and I don't want to shout
       C     B       A      D        C                      
But I had a hat when I came in I'll have a hat when I go out
G         D

[Verse 2]
G                                                     D
Casey kept on shouting, boys, they couldn't keep him quiet
G                                 C                 D
Someone phoned up for the cops to come and stop the riot
G                 C                G                D
Two cops rushed into the room, but Casey laid them out
   G                       C            D                G
He fired them through the window, they both heard Casey shout

[Chorus 3]
  G                                              D        
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack
         G                                 C                D
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back
       C        B      A     G       C               D
I'm a peaceful loving man, I am, and I don't want to shout
       C     B       A      D        C                      
But I had a hat when I came in I'll have a hat when I go out
G         D
G         D
       G              
I'm a peaceful loving man, I am, and I don't want to shout
       D                                   A               G
But I had a hat when I came in I'll have a hat when I go out

[Verse 3]
G         A
G         A
G                        A          G                   A
Casey kept on shouting, boys, till one-eyed Paddy Flynn
G                                  C               D
Socked me on the whiskers with a great big rolling pin
   G                           A     G                 A
He knocked poor Casey senseless, it was an awful clout
                            D
As he lay there unconscious Casey kept on shouting out

[Chorus 4]
  G                                              D        
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack
         G                                 C                D
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back
       C        B      A     G       C               D
I'm a peaceful loving man, I am, and I don't want to shout
       C     B       A      C                            D                      
But I had a hat when I came in I'll have a hat when I go out

[Outro]
      C         B      A     G      C
I'm a peaceful loving man,       I am...
      C         B      A     G      C      D
I'm a peaceful loving man,       I am...
      C         B      A     G      C
I'm a peaceful loving man,       I am...
      C         B      A     G      C
I'm a peaceful loving man,       I am...
        D                 G
or I'll break somebody's back
