INTRO:
E MajorE


VERSE:

E MajorE             A augmentedA
When these shoes were new it was "how do you do"
    E MajorE            BB
It was whiskey and telling our tales
     E MajorE            A augmentedA
And when my shirt was clean I was there to be seen
   E MajorE               BB
I had clean eyes and my smile never failed

CHORUS:

C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m       A augmentedA     E MajorE
All of my brothers that I met on the way
C# minorC#m          G# minorG#m
They were drinking by night
A augmentedA           BB
They were drinking by day
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
Ah restore to my eyes
     A augmentedA      E MajorE
What was clear and was bright
E MajorE           BB    A augmentedA
And honey take me out drinking tonight
   E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Honey take me out drinking tonight


VERSE:

E MajorE             A augmentedA
Bluebells and matches and stains on the table
 E MajorE               BB
The sweet smell of the luscious Woodbine.
 E MajorE          A augmentedA
"Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin"
E MajorE               BB
I say, but I don't really mind

CHORUS

C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m       A augmentedA     E MajorE
All of my brothers that I met on the way
C# minorC#m          G# minorG#m
They were drinking by night
A augmentedA           BB
They were drinking by day
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
Ah restore to my eyes
     A augmentedA      E MajorE
What was clear and was bright
E MajorE           BB    A augmentedA
And honey take me out drinking tonight
   E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Honey take me out drinking tonight


VERSE:
       E MajorE               A augmentedA
Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes
       E MajorE            BB
The right is heavy and the left it is light
       E MajorE           A augmentedA
And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do
E MajorE           BB    A augmentedA
Honey take me out drinking tonight
E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE
