Verse :
[D]Someone knocked this [F#m]morning, they [G]wanted to come [D]in
[D]They rang and rang the [F#m]doorbell, I [G]thought and scratched my [Em]chin

Pre-Chorus :
Well I [Em]peeped out through the [F#m]curtains and [G]saw that I was [Em]right

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/damien_dempsey/bad_time_garda_crd.html )

[D]It's a bad time [F#m]Garda, the [G]kitchen is a [Em]sin
[D]You picked a bad time [F#m]Garda, we'll [G]get some biscuits [Em]in.
(Repeat next Verse Pre-Chorus & Chorus same way)
Someone's running round upstairs, reluctant to descend
Ma and Da are shouting 'You've brought them back again'
At least its not the special branch, the Peelers of today
Flash their guns
And take your sons
And you would have no say
Well my brother's there
In his underwear
It's cold as it can be
He's hanging out the window
I'd rather him than me
It's a bad time Garda, the house' an awful sight
It's a bad time Garda, come back tomorrow night
It's a bad time Garda, the kitchen is a sin
You picked a bad time Garda, we'll get some biscuits in
We'll get some biscuits in, we'll get some bickys in
For you, for you, for you
