🎸 Verse 2:
Dm F
England is only ever grey or green
A A
The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain
Dm F
I remember fallin' through these streets
A A
Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dm F
It makes my chest hurt to think of it
A A
Not of regret, but of missing that
🎸 Chorus:
Dm F
Cheerful oblivion
A G
Cheerful oblivion
🎸 Verse 3:
Dm F
It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain
Am G
And shinin' under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs
Dm F Am G
And huggin' girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts
Dm F
And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp
Am G
You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart
Dm F
You only get one night up on the shore
Am G
So dance like you've never danced before
Dm F
And the dance floor is filling up with blood
Am G
But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love
🎸 Chorus:
Dm F Am G
Cheerful oblivion
Dm F
Cheerful oblivion
Am G
Cheerful oblivion
🎸 Bridge:
F
And mermaids, they come once a year
G
They climb the struts of Brighton Pier
Am
They come to drink, they come to dance
Em
To sacrifice a human heart
F G
And the world is so much wilder than you think
Am Am
You haven't seen nothin' 'til you seen an English girl drink
🎸 Chorus:
Dm F Am G
Cheerful oblivion
Dm F
Cheerful oblivion
Am G
Cheerful oblivion
Dm F
Cheerful oblivion
Am G
Cheerful oblivion
