Whiskeyday, Everyday

Intro:
G D A D

D                       G                  D
When I was a wee lad of only twelve years old,
G                      D 
I went to the café and there I had a coke
G 		                    D                 A
And then there was an old bloke who said to me: Young lad
D                           A                    D
I'll give you a whiskey now and then you'll be a man

Chorus
D
Yesterday a whiskeyday,
Em                         
Today a whiskeyday
D
And I think it will be whiskeyday 
A             D
all my bloody life.


D  			    G                 D
My life, it went on and I loved the drink too much,
G                              D
And all the people in the town knew me as such,
G 				         D               A
And then there was a fair young lady who said to me: my dear
D		             A		          D
Don't drink too much whiskey or you'll find me in tears

Chorus

D					G		    D
This girl, she became my dearest and I love her with all my heart
G				       D
But the only thing she doesn't like is tearing me apart
G				       D		   A
And then there came that old bloke who said to her: young lady
D			  A	            D
Do that boy a favour and drink your bloody whiskey

Chorus




D			      G		          D
We got old together happy and one night went to a bar
G				D
There was a young boy who was playing his guitar
G				       D                  A
And I saw he was drinking porter so I said to him: young lad
D                               A                D
I'll give you a whiskey now and then you'll be a man
