Rotten Town (Acoustic)

Prepare the Preparations

This beginning is borrowed from the intro tab that was previously posted. Thanks
for the help. I added the full chords to it. While the acoustic version
recording clearly has multiple guitar tracks, this sounds good for one person playing.

Verse 1:
   Dm
'Twas quite the inky black night
    Am
All the weather vanes were turning
    Am
And the constable was burning out his light
   Dm
When low our anchors went down, barnacle bound
  Am
The men were up and churning
     Am
Yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground

Walkup

Prechorus:

  E
And oh the flames were as gold

Chorus:

        F
I scowl at the angry moon
   G
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
       Am
What have I become
      E
A drunken maroon run aground
        Am
In this rotten town

Verse 2:

   Dm
It's been a fortnight or two
  Am
The mutineers are plotting against
  Am
the captain as I'm rotting in the goo

(palm mute)
  Am
The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town were
Dm
reconnoitering with blades and gun
    Am
But the ale had started spilling
     Am
Yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone

(walkup)

Prechorus 2:

  E
And all the streets burned with gold,
   E
But, oh, my bones were so cold

Chorus: (slightly different)

        F
I scowl at the angry moon
   G
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
       Am
What have I become
      C
A drunken maroon run aground
E
In this rotten town

Bridge:

 A
I stumble down the harbor to the tavern on the square
                 E
And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang
A
From some foul inebriates
   D
Some men I used to call my mates
   A
Were lost in song and this is what they sang

They sang,
 E
"Heigh, hi, yo, ho! O'er the Atlantic we go
A
Drinking 'till we all get sick
  D
And coming up with limericks
    A
But we never quite remember how they end"

   D
I can see my childhood home
 E
I think of my dear old mum
       Am
What have I become

Chorus: (same chords as the first chorus)

I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (In this rotten)
In this rotten, In this rotten town
