Pills of White Mercury
Dave Gunning

  G+G   A minorAm       C majorC      D MajorD
As I was walking by the banks of the Ugie
G+G      A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
Come my dear fellows and a story I will tell
 G+G      A minorAm    C majorC        D MajorD
I spied a dear comrade, dressed in white flannel
G+G        C majorC      D MajorD       G+G
Dressed in white flannel and cruel was his fate

  G+G      A minorAm      C majorC       D MajorD
The mercury was beating, the limestone was reeking
  G+G       A minorAm     C majorC    D MajorD
His tongue all in flamed hung over his chin
    G+G      A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD
With a hole in his bosom, his teeth were a closin'
  G+G      C majorC    D MajorD     G+G
Bad luck to the girl who gave it to him

Chorus:
  G+G      A minorAm    C majorC      D MajorD
And had she but told me, when she dis honoured me
G+G      A minorAm   C majorC    D MajorD
Had she but told me of it in time
 G+G        A minorAm       C majorC       D MajorD
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
  G+G     C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
But now I'm a young man cut down in my prime

  G+G      A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
My parents they warned me and oftimes they chided
G+G        A minorAm       C majorC       D MajorD
With those young flash girls do not sport and play
  G+G    A minorAm      C majorC    D MajorD
But I never listened, no I never heeded
 G+G      C majorC    D MajorD     G+G  Chorus
I just carried on in my own wicked way

    G+G      A minorAm     C majorC        D MajorD
It was down on the corner two flash girls were talking
G+G     A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD
One to the other in a whisper did say
G+G        A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
There goes that young man who once was so jolly
  G+G      C majorC       D MajorD     G+G  Chorus
But now for his sins his poor body must pay

  G+G      A minorAm    C majorC      D MajorD
Oh doctor, dear doctor be fore you de parture
G+G       A minorAm     C majorC    D MajorD
Take all these bottles of mercury away
  G+G      A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD
And send for the minister to say a prayer over me
G+G      C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
Then you can lay my poor body in the clay

  G+G      A minorAm     C majorC    D MajorD
Now get you six fellows to carry my coffin
G+G     A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD
Six pretty fair maids to bear up my pall
  G+G      A minorAm   C majorC      D MajorD
And give each of them a bunch of red roses
  G+G       C majorC       D MajorD      G+G   Chorus
