The Trash Can Sinatras
Drunken Chorus
----------------------
Intro - G D Am C D G Am C D (let ring...)
G Am C D
I'm looking on the bright side, but I still don't see the light
G Am C D
Why are friends so hard to find on Wednesday night?
G Am C D
I got a ten pound note in my pocket, that'll never find its way back home.
G C G
And you thought I'd be lonely when you'd gone.
G Am C D
Discipline is a shelter, the punishment's my home
G Am C D
Built on sticks and stones and now brittle bones
G Am C D
I'm just a slip of a thing and now I'm on the slide
G C G C-D-Am
And I get so confused on my own
Am C G
Barmaids beware
Am C G D
Sweet-stout style and whiskey-drunk flair
CHORUS
G Bm C D
I'm drinking the wishing well dry, and collecting the coins
G C D
And my cup's brimming over with bliss
G Bm C Am
Seems that when my throat gets dry my words get wry
G C D G
And I raise my glass like a fist, and every sip's a kiss
You used to say my secrets were safe, and that I had no need to lock them
away
But I could kick myself to death for leaving you the key, and now I know
what security means to me
Hard to get a hold of what it means to me
And it's hard to get out of the gutter when it's raining feet and every
helping hand's a fist
CHORUS
SOLO (I know it starts on Am, I think it's:: Am C G, Am C G D, C
G C G C Am C D.....)
G G*
But hey where will I go, and now that you have gone........
Ending: G - Bm - G
G* - For the end, I switch back and forth on a barred G from regular to
335533, which sounds great.
There it is. The intro is wrong, I just put what I like to play. Really
fun to play around with a slide on
this, and two people make it even more fun. I usually play the chords
barred during the chrous; it leaves
the refrain twangy, and keeps the chorus full. Any probelms?
