G5                                    C5                  G5
If I had a dollar now for every drink I had 
 G5                                                      D5                   G5
I'd be so f*cking wealthy and things wouldn't be so bad 
G5                                                         C5                        G5
but I drank down every penny in just seven drunken nights 
G5                                                       D5                     G5
and called out for another round of seven drunken pints 

C5                                G5
so have a drink ya bastards
D5                                      G5
Because is no time left to lose
C5                                      G5
It's nearly time for closing
 D5                                       G5
and we're running out of booze
C5                                            G5
So have a drink ya bastards
D5                                              G5
Because the morning' s nearly here
C5                                      G5
The open Road's before us
D5                                         G5
So let's have another beer


If I could've found a girl could drink as much as me
I take her off to be my wife and live so happily 
but I've never known such girl to walk upon this land
I guess it's heaven's plan for me to be a single man

Chorus
E5                             G5                  D5                         G5
And sometimes well I lie awake at night I feel no pain
E5                              G5                    D5                       G5
This banging in my head, the stinging of the shame
E5                           G5                     D5                            G5
I hear the angels calling me up on their lofty heights
C5                                   G5                 D5                            D5
But they don't sing a lullaby they sing me my last rites, sing me my last rights,
D5
Sing me my last rights!


I've drunk me fill of piss and swill too many times to care
And sometimes when I stagger home I pass out on the stair
I like my women slightly large, my Whisky always neat
And sometimes in the summer I like to pass out in the street
