[Intro]
BbEb
[Verse]
EbAbEb
We were talking to a fellow in the room last night, came down from Elgin with an appetite
Fm7Bb
Somebody told him he would be all right among the millions
EbAbEb
He began to sing he took the place apart he was dealing aces from the very start
Fm7Bb
It was a gift from heaven to a humble heart we were embracing
AbGmCm
Oh he told me that his papa was a rolling stone who had a gig at Dingwall so he felt at home
AbBb
And all he really needed was a telephone to be in business
[Chorus]
EbAbEb
Gaels blue, we have been weighed up & found to be true, though we never had the Chevys or the Baptist Church
BbEbAb
We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
EbBbEb
You can ask the driver on the glory train, we'll sing it up to heaven and home again Gaels blue
[Verse]
EbAbEb
Oh I know that everybody has to have their tale and have a clean one ready when the old one's stale
Fm7Bb
Just as long as all the little details pale into the distance
EbAbEb
Aw we kept straight faces when we heard him say, "I've been drinking up with Marvin Gaye"
Fm7Bb
Ah well, every hound dog must have his day sing your confession
AbGmCm
oh his sense gets cloudy but his spirit is keen and then the music business gets to pick him clean
AbBb
and he said "Let me out or throw a magazine, I need a witness?" (ooh I really do)
[Chorus]
EbAbEb
Gaels blue, we have been weighed up & found to be true, though we never had the Chevys or the Baptist Church
BbEbAb
We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
EbBbEb
You can ask the driver on the glory train, we'll sing it up to heaven and home again Gaels blue

[Verse]
AbGmCm
Oh he quit Stathpeffer where he earned his keep, and every day got worse until he couldn't sleep
AbBb
and so he called them up and said "Give the stage a sweep, we are in business"
[Chorus]
EbAbEb
Gaels blue, we have been weighed up & found to be true, though we never had the Chevys or the Baptist Church
BbEbAb
We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
EbBbEb
You can ask the driver on the glory train, we'll sing it up to heaven and home again Gaels blue
EbBbEb
We'll do, Gaels blue, We'll do, Gaels blue
