A G A
He was a stranger in London at night
G D A D
And he felt alone so he followed a light
G D
Into a bar where the music was loud
G D A D
He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd
G D G D
He asked a girl if she wanted to dance
A D
She turned up her nose and she told him "No chance!"
G D
He felt rejected and stood by the wall
G D A D
And wondered why he'd ever bothered at all
G D G D
He missed his family and wished he was home
A D
With all of those strangers he felt so alone
A D
Patrick don't be afraid
G A D
You'll live to laugh another day
A D
Patrick don't be afraid
G A D
The cavalry is on the way
A D A D A D A
D G D
He stood in silence, looked round for a while
G D A D
Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled
G D
Then he went over and started to talk
G D A D
She looked a bit like his sister in Cork
G D G D
He bought her a drink with his last two quid
A D
When he said "Come back for a coffee" she did
A D
Patrick you've got it made
G A D
You're halfway there, you're on your way
A D
Patrick she's not afraid
G A D
And now I bet you're glad you stayed
A D G D A D A D (?)
D G D
Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed
G D A D
She showed in the centre of Patrick's room
G D
She was lit up from the inside and out
G D A D
Oh he was enchanted as she moved about
G D G D
She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone
A D
And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone
A D
Patrick don't be afraid
G A D
You've won the girl and saved the day
A D
Patrick you've got it made
G A D
The girl's not going to run away
A D
Patrick don't be afraid
G A D
The cavalry is on the way
A D
Patrick you've got it made
G A D A D A D . . .
Just look outside it's a lovely day
