A[D] long time ago, way [A] back in histo- [D] ry,

When all there was to drink was [G] nothin' but cups of 

[A] tea,

A- [D] long came a man by the [G] name of Charlie [D] 

Mopps,

And he invented the wonderful drink, and he [A] made it 

out of [D] hops.



Chorus:

Hey! He must have been an admiral, a [A] sultan or a 

[D] king,

And to his praises [G] we shall always [A] sing;

[D] Look at what he's done for us, he's [G] filled us 

up with [D] cheer,

Lord, bless Charlie Mopps, the [A] man who invented... 

[D]

Beer, beer, beer, [A] tiddley [D] beer, beer, beer...



The Dury's pub and the Stag the Wexford Inn as well 

One thing you can be sure of, it's [G] Charlie's beer 

they [A] sell;

So [D] all you lads and lasses, at [G] eleven o'clock 

you [D] stop,

For five short seconds, [A] remember Charlie [D] Mopps!



One... two... three... four... five...



Chorus:

Hey! He must have been an admiral, a [A] sultan or a 

[D] king,

And to his praises [G] we shall always [A] sing;

[D] Look at what he's done for us, he's [G] filled us 

up with [D] cheer,

Lord, bless Charlie Mopps, the [A] man who invented... 

[D]

Beer, beer, beer, [A] tiddley [D] beer, beer, beer...



A bushel of malt, a barrel of hops, [A] stir it around 

with a [D] stick,

The type of lubrication to [G] make your engine [A] 

tick;

[D] Forty pints of wallop a day will [G] keep away the 

[D] quacks,

It's only eight pence halpenny a pint, and [A] one and 

six in [D] tax.



One... two... three... four... five...



Chorus:
