[INTRO]
E

[VERSE]
E A
When these shoes were new it was "how do you do"
E B
It was whiskey and telling our tales
E A
And when my shirt was clean I was there to be seen
E B
I had clean eyes and my smile never failed

[CHORUS]
C#m G#m A E
All of my brothers that I met on the way
C#m G#m
They were drinking by night
A B
They were drinking by day
A E
Ah restore to my eyes
A E
What was clear and was bright
E B A
And honey take me out drinking tonight
E A E
Honey take me out drinking tonight

[VERSE]
E A
Bluebells and matches and stains on the table
E B
The sweet smell of the luscious Woodbine.
E A
"Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin"
