Drunken Chorus

----------------------

Intro - G D Am C D G Am C D (let ring...)

I'm looking on the bright side, but I still don't see the light

Why are friends so hard to find on Wednesday night?

I got a ten pound note in my pocket, that'll never find its way back home.

And you thought I'd be lonely when you'd gone.

Discipline is a shelter, the punishment's my home

Built on sticks and stones and now brittle bones

I'm just a slip of a thing and now I'm on the slide

G C G C-D-Am

And I get so confused on my own

Barmaids beware

Sweet-stout style and whiskey-drunk flair

I'm drinking the wishing well dry, and collecting the coins

And my cup's brimming over with bliss

Seems that when my throat gets dry my words get wry

And I raise my glass like a fist, and every sip's a kiss

You used to say my secrets were safe, and that I had no need to lock them

away

But I could kick myself to death for leaving you the key, and now I know

what security means to me

Hard to get a hold of what it means to me

And it's hard to get out of the gutter when it's raining feet and every

helping hand's a fist

SOLO (I know it starts on Am, I think it's:: Am C G, Am C G D, C

G C G C Am C D.....)

G G*

But hey where will I go, and now that you have gone........

Ending: G - Bm - G

G* - For the end, I switch back and forth on a barred G from regular to

335533, which sounds great.

There it is. The intro is wrong, I just put what I like to play. Really

fun to play around with a slide on

this, and two people make it even more fun. I usually play the chords

barred during the chrous; it leaves

the refrain twangy, and keeps the chorus full. Any probelms?
