Intro:
FF
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

Verse 1:
FF      C majorC  FF
It's a Broad Lic Nic
     Bb majorBb         FF
And I'll tell you while I'm able
Bb majorBb         FF
Or I'll smash your skull
          G minorGm      C majorC
If you'll not drink enough Black Label
FF      C majorC   FF
It's a hard man's drink
  Bb majorBb         FF
And though the bottle's broken
     Bb majorBb      FF
Put your money on the table
      C majorC         FF
Strain the glass through your teeth
FF
So, we grew up lean, mean
Bb majorBb         FF
Kings of the street scene
Bb majorBb         FF
Without a mother's guiding hand
  G minorGm   C majorC
To keep us clean
FF
Down your rum
   Bb majorBb       FF
We'll take life as it comes
      Bb majorBb     FF
And all you blue rinse critics
     C majorC    FF
Lick our literary bum

Verse 2:
      DmDm
I drank my first pure malt
G minorGm
Before I was three
             DmDm
I smoked a pack of Dutch cigarettes
  C majorC
My pappy left for me
FF
And I romanced a little lass
    Bb majorBb     FF
Who was 12 years my elder
    Bb majorBb      FF
At the age of six I held her
   Bb majorBb     FF
That year I also bed her
   Bb majorBb     FF
So before I was seven
  C majorC        FF
My first child was born

Verse 3:
 DmDm
I told a pack of filthy lies
     G minorGm
As a politician
G minorGm        DmDm
I heard my own confession as an
C majorC
Act of contrition
    DmDm
I spent ten years as a Trappist monk
   G minorGm      DmDm
In a village in Tibet (Liar!)
   Bb majorBb        FF
And I walked up Everest naked
C majorC       FF
Just to win a bet

Interlude:
FF
Whoa, Whoa

Verse 4:
FF
Well, I severed my leg to win a
Bb majorBb     FF
One-legged race
Bb majorBb        FF
And when I won I stitched it
G minorGm       C majorC
Right back into place
FF
I fought Mohammed Ali
    Bb majorBb     FF
I've seduced Mata Hari
   Bb majorBb     FF
I've even worn a sari
     G minorGm     C majorC
When I impersonated Gandhi
   FF  C majorC    FF
And I dare any man here
  Bb majorBb     FF
To call me a liar
   Bb majorBb        FF
But I swear I've seen Ezekiel
 Bb majorBb         FF
I swear I've seen Isaiah
Bb majorBb      FF      G minorGm    C majorC
Toasting marshmallows in Beelzebub's fire

Verse 5:
FF
And we're mad (Mad!) Bad (Bad!)
Bb majorBb      FF
Dangerous to know
  Bb majorBb      FF
We never gave a tinker's cuss
 G minorGm         C majorC
About the seeds we'd sow
    FF
And we stay up late
  Bb majorBb     FF
And never be forlorn (Hey!)
  Bb majorBb        FF
And when the morning comes around
   G minorGm        FF
We'll kiss the crack of dawn

Bridge:
  DmDm
We took the wax from Kerouacs
  G minorGm     DmDm
And dusty Dostoevskys
     G minorGm        DmDm
And when all was said and done
     C majorC
Booze was all I had left me
   DmDm
For, all the world's great thinkers
  G minorGm
Are all a load
  DmDm
Of pus

Verse 6:
      Bb majorBb      FF
And if you asked how Zarathustra spoke
FF
He spake thus:
FF
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Bb majorBb         FF
Drink until you're drunk
Bb majorBb       FF
Drink until you can't stand up
      G minorGm    C majorC
Till you're roly-poly stung
     FF
Till your bladder bursts
     Bb majorBb       FF
Till you throw a fit to curse
     Bb majorBb        FF
Till they lift you up still comatose
  C majorC        FF
And slam you in the hearse

Interlude:
FF
Whoa, whoa, Whoa,Whoa

Outro:
FF
And we're good (Good!) Bad (Bad!)
Bb majorBb   FF
Ugly as sin
  Bb majorBb       FF
We mixed up cough syrup
G+G    C majorC
With our gin
FF
So take your medicine
 Bb majorBb        FF
I pray that when I die (Hey!)
      Bb majorBb      FF         C majorC    FF
There'll be someone else around to kiss my arse goodbye
FF      C majorC
Yes I pray, I pray
 FF        C majorC
I pray that when I die
      FF       Bb majorBb        FF    C majorC   FF
There'll be someone else around to kiss my arse goodbye
