[Verse]
G                                              C          G
Now there's a slogan on my shoulder, there's a logo on my leg
                                 Am           D
A trade mark on my mudguard and another on my head
      G                             C              G
Brand names on my bicycle, "Bank Of Ireland" on my butt
      N.C.                         D              G
I'm a fine figure of a man, if you keep your eyes shut

[Chorus]
     C              G
I've had my hour of glory
 D              G
Now I'm just confused
C              G
This here's my story

                                         C             G
They're putting me on posters, they're a'hanging me on walls
                                              Am             D
I'm the smiling face of Irish cheese, I don't know myself at all
       G                                  C              G
But if somebody makes an offer, there's a fair to likely chance
    N.C.                               D                   G
You'll see me with a sandwich board at next year's Tour de France

[Chorus]
     C              G
I've had my hour of glory
 D              G
Now I'm just confused

Now, come all you lucky dreamers with stardom in your sights
                                           Am               D
There's a lot of hard work upon the road before you hit the lights
  G                             C             G
I wish you good adventure and I wish you good health
        N.C.                                                  G
But take a tip from the one who knows and don't ever sell yourself

[Chorus]
    C             G
For after all the glory
       D             G
You'll wind up being used
C           G
This was my story
