Tono: G
Introducción:
G D G
I drank 16 doubles for the price of one
C D
Tryin to find the courage to talk to one
C G C G
I asked her for a dance, not a second glance
D
My night had just begun
VERSE 2-
G D G
Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost
C D
Kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
C G C G
And I'll raise a glass, not the first or last
D
come join me in this toast
D G
'Cause the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me
C D
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg
D G
And the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me
C D Em C
Will I live for another day..hey?
C D G
Will I live for another day?
VERSE 3-
G D G
The queen of George Street just went walkin' on by
C D
Walkin' on by with some guy who don't care
C G C G
That she stood in line since half past nine
D
And spent three hours on her hair
G D G
Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin
C D
I think a bloody racket might soon begin
C G C G
I must have said something to the George Street queen
D
Now the boys are joining in.
CHORUS-
G D G
So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
C D
Every day is different, but the nights are all the same
C G C G
You never see the sun on the old black rum
D
And I know I'm gonna do it again.
CHORUS X 2 -
