  A augmentedA          D MajorD     A augmentedA
If you around we could go on the town
A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA
Instead of just going on the booze
A augmentedA                D MajorD        A augmentedA
If you'd stayed in my life we'd kick up the high life
A augmentedA         E MajorE     A augmentedA
Country Irish like we used to do
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
And we'd drink and we'd dance
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
And we'd dance and we'd drink
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
And we'd drink and we'd dance
     E MajorE       A augmentedA
And we'd dance and we'd drink

A augmentedA             D MajorD    A augmentedA
So at my command will you take my hand
A augmentedA          E MajorE   A augmentedA
And we'll dance the final dance
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
But it's more pricks than kicks
D MajorD       A augmentedA
That's what it is
   D MajorD     A augmentedA
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
      E MajorE        A augmentedA
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar

Break: (verse) A augmentedA D MajorD A, A augmentedA E MajorE A, A augmentedA D MajorD A, A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
    (chorus) D MajorD A, D MajorD A, D MajorD A, E MajorE A augmentedA
    (verse) A augmentedA D MajorD A, A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

But it's more pricks than kicks
That's what it is
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll choose you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar

Outro: A augmentedA D MajorD A, A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA (x12)
