Intro:
F
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

Verse 1:
F      C  F
It's a Broad Lic Nic
     Bb         F
And I'll tell you while I'm able
Bb         F
Or I'll smash your skull
          Gm      C
If you'll not drink enough Black Label
F      C   F
It's a hard man's drink
  Bb         F
And though the bottle's broken
     Bb      F
Put your money on the table
      C         F
Strain the glass through your teeth
F

So, we grew up lean, mean
Bb         F
Kings of the street scene
Bb         F
Without a mother's guiding hand
  Gm   C
To keep us clean
F
Down your rum
   Bb       F
We'll take life as it comes
      Bb     F
And all you blue rinse critics
     C    F
Lick our literary bum

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

I told a pack of filthy lies
     Gm
As a politician
Gm        Dm
I heard my own confession as an
C
Act of contrition
    Dm
I spent ten years as a Trappist monk
   Gm      Dm
In a village in Tibet (Liar!)
   Bb        F
And I walked up Everest naked
C       F
Just to win a bet

Interlude:
F
Whoa, Whoa

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

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

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

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

Interlude:
F
Whoa, whoa, Whoa,Whoa

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