   A                   D         A
If you around we could go on the town
A               E            A
Instead of just going on the booze
A                               D                A
If you'd stayed in my life we'd kick up the high life
A                  E          A
Country Irish like we used to do
         D              A
And we'd drink and we'd dance
         D              A
And we'd dance and we'd drink
         D              A
And we'd drink and we'd dance
         E              A
And we'd dance and we'd drink

A                         D       A
So at my command will you take my hand
A                   E     A
And we'll dance the final dance
         D                A
But it's more pricks than kicks
D              A
That's what it is
      D          A
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
           E               A
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar

Break: (verse) A D A, A E A, A D A, A E A
       (chorus) D A, D A, D A, E A
       (verse) A D A, A E A

But it's more pricks than kicks
That's what it is
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll choose you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar

Outro: A D A, A E A (x12)
