• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
F  Emin  Dmin  C  E  F x 2

Verse:
F
The third man is a film revered
      Emin
And a very well regarded scent
    Dmin
The third eye is a heavy heavy brow
     C
On a Hindu cow in a worship tent
        Amin
But the third drink
                     Emin
Is a prick in the universe
              G
Anchor and balloon
                   C
Fierce flame and a cold spoon
          Emin
A Guarded moment
                 F
At the change of guards
F                                                          Emin
Which ushers in the imp, and the whispers, and the weeping bards
                        E
(singing Two Minutes to Midnight)

Fill:
F  Emin  Dmin  C  E  F

Verse:
F
And asks of the senses derange
     Emin
Be unbound and
                        Dmin
Ripple and be above all strange
                  C
Unserious now, do frolic

Improvise, vivid alcoholic
    Amin
The third drink is chaperone
       Emin
To the flood
                   G
Who, once asked to dance
                     C
Gives more whim than any fool

Ought chance
              E
The third man suffers not
             F
Over time it only grows its plot

The third eye reads bovinely polyglot
    Emin
The third drink gets me into troubles
E F
A lot


Fill:
F  Emin  Dmin  C  E  F
Oohh A Lot... (listen to the song)

F  Emin  Dmin  C

Amin
Oh the third drink
                     Emin
Is a prick in the universe
              G
Anchor and balloon
                   C
And the wire in between on fire with a dying tune
                     Emin                F
We're gonna blitz it all, leaving only a black tawdry mark
                                              Emin
The third drink is a light, leads me into the dark
