Gm There was a knockin' at my door Cm Gm It's the dreaded landlord Cm Gm Dm Gm He wants his rent and wants it now, he is careless how Eb Bb Cm Dm Cm He left us in a vacant daze, asking how we got here. Gm Dm Am Gm And we retired to slumber but, the glasses never were rinsed.

Eb Bb Am Make yourself the things I don't use. Gm Dm Am Gm For I'm off into the forest for a liquor never brewed!" Cm Gm And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing Dm Gm I got an invitation once to liberty Eb Gm They had a mischief brew but, not goblets were used Am Am Bb Am Besting rum or porter 'tis a liquor never brewed.
