Rotten Town (Acoustic)
Ludo
Prepare the Preparations

This beginning is borrowed from the intro tab that was previously posted.  Thanks 
for the help.  I added the full chords to it.  While the acoustic version 
recording clearly has multiple guitar tracks, this sounds good for one person playing.

(The above is played for the first verse and the first half of the second verse)

Verse 1:
      A5                   D5
'Twas quite the inky black night
        A5
All the weather vanes were turning
        E5                             A5
And the constable was burning out his light
     A5                   D5
When low our anchors went down, barnacle bound
    A5
The men were up and churning
         E5                                  A5
Yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground

Walkup

Prechorus:

    D5                    E5
And oh the flames were as gold

Chorus:

               A5     F5
I scowl at the angry moon
     C5                    G5
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
              A5
What have I become
            F5          E5
A drunken maroon run aground
               A5     A5 A5 E5 A5
In this rotten town

Verse 2:

     A5                  D5
It's been a fortnight or two
    A5
The mutineers are plotting against
    E5                             A5
the captain as I'm rotting in the goo

(palm mute)
    A5
The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town were 
D5
reconnoitering with blades and gun
        A5
But the ale had started spilling
         E5                              A5
Yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone

(walkup)

Prechorus 2:

    D5                          E5
And all the streets burned with gold, 
     D5                    E5
But, oh,  my bones were so cold
      
Chorus: (slightly different)

               A5     F5
I scowl at the angry moon
     C5                    G5
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
              A5
What have I become
            F5          C5
A drunken maroon run aground
G5              E5
In this rotten town

Bridge:

  A5
I stumble down the harbor to the tavern on the square
                                 E5
And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang
A5
From some foul inebriates
     D5
Some men I used to call my mates
     A5                E5                 A5
Were lost in song and this is what they sang

They sang,
  A5                                      E5
"Heigh, hi, yo, ho! O'er the Atlantic we go
A5
Drinking 'till we all get sick
    D5
And coming up with limericks
       A5             E5               A5
But we never quite remember how they end"

      F#5              D5
I can see my childhood home
  A5                    E5
I think of my dear old mum
              A5     A5 A5 E5 A5 
What have I become

Chorus: (same chords as the first chorus)

I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (In this rotten)
In this rotten, In this rotten town
