DGDADGGAD (4x)
[Verse 1]
DGDA
Wednesday night is mornin' now as I'm walking in the rain
DGGAD
Birds are screaming in my ear, they're driving me insane
DGDA
Half the clouds are empty so the sun bursts through the sky
DGGAD
The puddles show reflections of a face about to die
DGDA
Just around the corner I was going round the bend
DGGAD
I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name
DGDA
He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow
DGGAD
Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm
Bringin in the new year as the bells began to ring
A
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
Bm
Time to get another before the final shout
F#/Gb
You should have heard him roarin when they dragged the bugger out
[Chorus]
GADGDADGGAD
And we'll never see the likes of you again
[Verse 2]
DGDA
Jimbo came from slummin' town, a cold and dreary place
DGGAD
To summerland he found himself, the sun shone on his face
DGDA
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl
DGGAD
Happily ever after till the tide ran out again
DGDA
Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry
DGGAD
I'll love you in the mornin, Christ I'll love ya till you die
DGDA
I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before you know
DGGAD
But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm
Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin bag
A
Back and forth through painted brick the colours all seemed bland
Bm
I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far
F#/Gb
So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar
[Chorus]
GADGDA
And we'll never see the likes of you again
GADGDADGGAD
No we'll never see the likes of you again
Bridge (no chords, drums, fiddle, mandolin, at first)
There must be more to life than this poxie life
All the agro, all the pain
BmD
So he disappeared into his final beer
GA
But the glass was empty once again, again, again...
[Break]
(guitar and fiddle)
DGDADGGAD (2x)
[Verse 3]
DGDA
Woke up in an awful state, dreamt I was at Peter's gate
DGGAD
Beggin for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand
DGDA
Told me he was much amused to see the life I had abused
DGGAD
Best be on the way, but have a swig before you go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Final Chorus]
GADGDA
And we'll never see the likes of you again
GADGDA
No we'll never see the likes of you again
GADGDADGGAD
No we'll never see the likes of you again!
End on D
There it is. Enjoy!
