Ab5 G5


Verse 1
=======
         C5                     F5
When the hangover strikes and I open my post 
        C5
And the coffee is on
        F5                         F5
And I'm burning my toast I let the battle commence
        C5                      D5
I see a sun in the trees and a draught at the door
        E5                       Bb5
With my head in my lap there's a day  
      Riff 1 Ab5        G5           C5    F5  C5  G5
To ex-plore     but I'm left without sense


Verse 2
=======
       C5                     F5
As the hangover strikes and I turn on the tap 
        C5
But the water's too loud
        F5                         F5             B5
And I'm caged by the fact that the battle's not lost
          C5                      D5
Is it the hair of the dog or the baa of the lamb
     E5                     Bb5 
In a sheepish attempt to be half
       Riff 1 Ab5        G5    C5    F5  C5  G5
Of the man that I might be  or was           

Riff 2

Refrain 1
========= 
F5         Bb5  B5  C5          D5 E5 F#5
Poor poor poor poor shaken one
F5        Bb5            Eb5             D5   G5
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one


Verse 3
=======
         C5                       F5  
When the hangover strikes and the mirror reveals 
          C5
That it's midnight or bust
      F5                        F5        B5
And a drink does appeal now the battle is won
       C5                          D5
So the cure of the can pours it's heart out to me
           E5                      Bb5
Though I'm feeling locked up and I can't 
 Riff 1      Ab5      G5     C5     F5  C5
Find the key  well no damage was done

Poor poor poor poor shaken one
F5        Bb5            Eb5             D5   G5
Pour pour pour pour me a-nother one another one
