Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
     G+G      C majorC
Fare thee well my old friend,
      G+G                            D MajorD
If I could toast to every smile you brought, the drinks would never end.
       G+G         C majorC
But still the wake, it falls to me,
       G+G                          D MajorD
And though I don't know where to turn to, even blinded men could see,


Chorus:
   E minorEm               G+G
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
      G+G        D MajorD
I'll need a bender so 🏷Legendary
   E minorEm                G+G
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
    G+G       D MajorD   G+G
I went drinking like Oliver Reed.

Verse 2:
       G+G         C majorC
I'll raise a pint. No, make it eight.
       G+G                         D MajorD
Twelve double rums and then some whiskey--half a bottle, take it straight.
      G+G       C majorC
And it will be fitting tribute
    G+G                         D MajorD
To the last round of the only thirst endowed to drink to you.


Chorus:
   E minorEm               G+G
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
      G+G        D MajorD
I'll need a bender so 🏷Legendary
   E minorEm                G+G
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
    G+G       D MajorD   G+G
I went drinking like Oliver Reed.


Bridge:
    E minorEm            G+G
Oliver Reed was a 🏷Legend with a liver made of fire
   G+G             D MajorD
And a thirst that was more of a need.
    E minorEm                G+G
And his affair with the bottle danced him to his funeral pyre,
      G+G       D MajorD   G+G
But I'll go drinking like Oliver Reed.


Chorus:
   E minorEm               G+G
It'll take more than a pint or two to celebrate your life.
      G+G        D MajorD
I'll need a bender so 🏷Legendary
   E minorEm                G+G
That mortal men will shudder when they think of the night
    G+G       D MajorD   G+G
