Bb …

[Verse 1]
        B          B/A
Like a squid, up at dawn
      Gm                  F
An' I drag me butt tae me job
      Eb              Eb/D
Not a break, front to back
        Cm
Kicking balls to the wall
        F
Down a mile a hole
B                  B/A
Moving mountains of coal
      Gm
While here's to hell
     F
It's ringing my bell
       Eb           F
Sing a song, bang a gong
    B
And tonight would be good to be bad

[Intermezzo]
Bb – Eb – Gm - Eb
B – Eb – Gm – F

[Verse 2]
     B         B/A
So I take a wee dram
Gm                    F                 
Just to take off the edge
        Eb
Whether diggin' a ditch
   Eb/D
Or swinging a sledge
   Cm                    F
I drink to ignore high society's crap
        B              B/A
Bot'tla' whiskey in me
Gm                F
And I ain't even whacked
      Eb                        F
Now I know how it feels for the rat
       B
On the wheel to run for the cheese

[Chorus]
      B                          F
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more
Gm        Eb
Oh    ohé oh
    B                      F
The only thing better than drinking for me
            Eb
Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free.
      B                          F
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more
Gm        Eb
Oh    ohé oh
    B                      F
The only thing better than drinking for me
            Eb
Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free

[Verse 3]
  B              B/A 
I feel drunk and tight
        Gm              F
Just a wee bit tipsy tonight
         Eb            Eb/D
It's the best that I've had
         Cm
But I've puked on my kilt
           F
Will you call me a cab
B - B/A                   Gm
         Will you call me a cab
    F
For now I must go
    Eb
To wake up at dawn
      F
For a heave and a hoe
    B
And tonight was good to be bad

[Chorus]
       B                        F
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more
Gm       Eb
Oh   ohé oh
    B                     F
The only thing better than drinking for me
            Eb
Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free
       B                        F
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more
Gm       Eb
Oh   ohé oh
    B                     F
The only thing better than drinking for me
            Eb
Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free
       B                        F
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more
Gm       Eb
Oh   ohé oh
    B                     F
The only thing better than drinking for me
            Eb
Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free
