Spirit of the west - Home For A augmentedA Rest


This Intro is played once then along with the chorus

A minorAm    G+G      C majorC        FF
    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
         C majorC     G+G
    I've been gone for a month
                C majorC
    I've been drunk since I left
       A minorAm     G+G
    These so called vacations
       C majorC     FF
    Will soon be my death
        C majorC       G+G
    I'm so sick from the drink
             C majorC
    I need home for a rest ...

Then it breaks into a verse with fast paced chords:

A minorAm      G+G     C majorC     FF
    We arrived in December and London was cold
       C majorC       G+G
    So we stayed in the bars
       C majorC       G+G
    Along Charing Cross Road
      A minorAm    G+G     C majorC       FF
    We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
         C majorC      G+G
    Kept the shine on the bar
         C majorC       G+G
    With the sleeves of our coats

Chorus:
        G+G           C majorC        G+G
    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
         C majorC     FF
    I've been gone for a week
         C majorC       G+G
    I've been drunk since I left
       G+G
    These so-called vacations
       C majorC     G+G
    Will soon be my death
        C majorC       FF
    I'm so sick from the drink
        G+G     C majorC
    I need home for a rest ...

Verse #2
  A minorAm      G+G     C majorC     FF
Euston Station the train journey north
  C majorC        G+G
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
  A minorAm      G+G     C majorC     FF

Past odd crooked dykes
 C majorC         G+G

Through Yorkshire's green fields
 C majorC         G+G

We were flung into dance
 C majorC         G+G

As the train jigged and reeled

Chorus

Verse #3
A minorAm       G+G     C majorC     FF
By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets
  C majorC        G+G

 A augmentedA rare old perfume so seductive and sweet
A minorAm       G+G     C majorC     FF

She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down
  C majorC        G+G

Then walk us on home and deny us a round

Chorus

Verse #4
 A minorAm       G+G     C majorC     FF
The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
 C majorC         G+G   C majorC       G+G

And the spirits we drank like a ghost in the room

A minorAm       G+G     C majorC     FF

I'm knackered again, come on please take me soon
 C majorC         G+G
 And don't lift up my head
 C majorC         G+G
'till the twelve bells at noon

Chorus
