Verse 1:
G                                              Em
It's the same old song, it's eight generations long
D                               C                       G
It's in you and it's in me, the bloody urge to kill a king
                                          Em
It's a heavy debt weighing on your family crest
D                           C                           G
We got by and brother died, and Daddy drank and Momma cried
 
 
Chorus:
            Em           G
And pull it out, take it in
       C           G
Fill a dram for my kin
         C           G                  D
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond
                 Em
Now the bottle's gone

[Interlude]
G  C  G  Em  G  C  G
 
 
Verse 1:
G                                        Em
And it's a steep decline way down in the mine
D                                    C                               G
Granddad's eyes are lightning white, and coal done stole his ivory hide
                                                     Em
And if I hold on tight, I might make it through this life
D                                         C                      G
Water's quiet and whiskey screams, it's a bad time for living clean
 
 
Chorus:
        Em           G                      G
Pull it out, take it in, fill a dram for my kin
         C           G                  D
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond
                 Em G
Now the bottle's gone
 
 
[Instrumnetal Break]
C  G  Em  G  C  G
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
            Em           G
And pull it out, take it in
       C           G
Fill a dram for my kin
         C           G                  D
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond
                     Em G  C
And now the bottle's gone
G                    Em G  C  Em
And now the bottle's gone
