C F C Am F G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Well the life goes in circles as everyone know
Am C F
and the mirth and the misery comes as it goes
C Em F
and the drunkard's philosophy starts where it ends
C F G C
have a drink to me boys and then hit me again
[Chorus]
C F C
Names will be shouted and glasses be filled
Am C F
and the girls will get frisky and say what they will
C Em F
but the moment of finest reflection must be
C F G C
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea
[Bridge]
Am C
there's buggers and beggars and liars by trade
F C G
and white blessed angels that visit your bed
C Em F
but enlightenment waits serendipitously
C F G Am
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea
[Interlude]
F G C
[Verse 2]
C F C
now god is quite homeless and scattered and blind
Am C F
and he keeps a few things round the back of my mind
C Em F
and the times he retrieves them are errant and few
C F G C
and i field most requests from him best i can do
[Bridge]
Am C
he's harboring spirits, the neighbors complain
F C G
it's gone to his liver, it's gone to his brain
C Em F
but it's bollocks i say, i recall pleasantly
C F G Am
having sent all that whiskey on back to the sea
[Interlude]
F G C
[Chorus]
C F C
Names will be shouted and glasses be filled
Am C F
and the girls will get frisky and say what they will
C Em F
but the moment of finest reflection must be
C F G C
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea
[Chorus]
C F C
Names will be shouted and glasses be spilled
Am C F
and the girls will get risky and say what they will
C Em F
but i'm known to break out in such grand melody
C F G C
when i'm sending your whiskey on back to the sea
