Song: |
4 4 -3 4 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5
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! |
