intro (while the guy is reading off a poem ) C5 , F5 , C5 , F5 , C5 , F5 C5 F5 C5 F5 I met her up on Leeson Street of a Tuesday afternoon C5 F5 C5 F5 In Summer's fallen colours, sulking back to school C5 F5 C5 F5 I asked her would she linger, She asked me would i stay C5 F5 C5 F5 Would i keep a girl in company, drinking in the day? C5 F5 Drinking, Drinking C5 F5 Drinking... not thinking C5 F5 Drinking, Drinking C5 F5 We'll go drinking in the day She was almost a woman, she was going on sixteen She asked me to go walking, In Saint Stephen's Green She said I love the sunshine, and to hear the children play. But I won't be distracted when I'm drinking in the day. With her flashing eyes and milk white lies she looked like a song Like the ghost of a woman that first made me go wrong She said I'll have a drink with you I said you'll have to pay For a comprehensive education Drinking in the day Drinking, Drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, Drinking We'll go drinking in the day If her mother could have seen us on that bright November day Botticelli and his angel perambulating Ormand Quay A drunken blessed virgin, me rhetorious and gay Bestowing ancient wisdom as to what made me this way Deny your friends and family To serve you must betray Break and enter heaven S teal but never save Squander every penny Empty every heart Travel every darkened road Never finish what you start Always talk to strangers Make love with whom you may For God will find good company for your drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day So spend your youth on poetry, and spend your cash at play Each line upon my face is for a girl who went away A kiss, a song, are fleeting things and fame will always stray So I'll tell the truth, the best spent youth, is the one you give away Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking... there you go. pretty redundent. just listen to the song and you can figure it out.
