Em (022000@1)                             D (xx0232@1)           
So blow the girls a kiss     And give the boys a hand

The later in the evening     The one thing I believe in 
Em (022000@1)                                 G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1) 
I'm on the Road to Ruin     It's the only way to go

A penny in my pocket     A bucket in the well
G (320003@1)               C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1) 
Then Saturday was Sunday     And I could hear the bells
G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1) 
Deliver me from Evil     Forgiveness and for love
Em (022000@1)                                  D (xx0232@1)    
You're heading for confession     And I'm heading to the pub

*CHORUS*

Em (022000@1)                    C (x32010@1)           
Nancy in the corner     Now I'm moving in
Em (022000@1)                                    C (x32010@1)             D (xx0232@1)      
I thought I'd take me chances     But I took one on the chin
Em (022000@1)                         C (x32010@1)         
I finally got her number     She wrote it on a cup
Em (022000@1)                                      G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)     
But I phoned her in the morning     And I woke her mudder up

Em Em C C
Em Em C C 
Em Em G G 
Em Em C D

G (320003@1)                     C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)  
She wished that I would go to bed     I only wished her well
G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)  
And then she told me Jesus said     that I'd go straight to Hell
G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1)  
She's following His footsteps     I'm following my nose
Em (022000@1)                                      G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)  
We're heading for the same place     I'll see you down the road

*Chorus* x2 (We're on the road to ruin..)
