Here's the way I play The Drinking Song by Moxy Fruvous (from their
album Bargainville).

CHORD:

  C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)     GDrunk (320003@1)on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
     G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)     GMy (320003@1)senses finally blurred.

VERSE:
          G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)           GHe (320003@1)was a rock    to the end a solid reminder
          C (x32010@1)     D7Couldn't (xx0212@1)deny a friend
                  G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)         GWe (320003@1)lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison
  D (xx0232@1)            C (x32010@1)         D7Peekin' (xx0212@1)up the skirt of the end

And we'd drink   two gnarly dudes and some records |
            C (x32010@1)             D7 (xx0212@1)                   |(the chords for
Much like plates of black food                     |this half just

Stood on the roof in the nude.                     |
                                               ----+
