You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best,
6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 4 4 4 4
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left.
4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5
These so-called vacations will soon be my death,
6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 4 4 4 4
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest... 4 4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 We arrived in December and London was cold, -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road. 4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 We never saw nothing but brass taps and oak, 6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 Kept the shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats. -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I've been gone for a week, I've been drunk since I left. -4 -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 And these so-called vacations will soon be my death, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest, -6 -6 -6 TAKE ME HOME! 4 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 Euston Station, the train journey north, 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 4 -3 4 -4 In the buffet car, we lurched back and forth. 4 4 -3 4 -4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 Past old crooked dykes, through Yorkshire's green fields, 6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled. -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I've been gone for a week, I've been drunk since I left. -4 -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 And these so-called vacations will soon be my death, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest, -6 -6 -6 TAKE ME HOME! 4 4 4 -3 4 -4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets, 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 4 A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet. 4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down, 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 Then walk us on home and deny us a round. -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left. -4 -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 And these so-called vacations will soon be my death, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest, -6 -6 -6 TAKE ME HOME! 4 4 -3 4 -4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 The gas heater's empty, it's as damp as a tomb, 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 4 -3 4 -4 The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room. 4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 I'm knackered again, come on sleep, take me soon, 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4 -4 And don't lift up my head 'till the twelve bells at noon. -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left. -4 -4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 5 -4 4 -4 And these so-called vacations will soon be my death, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest, -6 -6 -6 TAKE ME HOME! |
