[Intro]
D  A  D  A  D  A  D  A D  (2x)

[Verse 1]
                                     A
Right! Hand me down that bottle of tequila from the shelf
     D                         A
I'll have a beer to follow and take one for yerself
          D                                   A
I've been off the piss for ten long years and I've a bloody thirst
      D                               A             D
And I won't be leavin' here until you carry me feet first


[Verse 2]
                                             A
‘Til I've tripped over the speakers and I've fallen through the band
         D                                 A
And I've told the chubby bouncer, ‘Geezer, shout if ye need a hand!'
    D                             A
I'm screamin o'er the bar and I'm spittin' in yer ear
    D                              A           D
And signin' wi' my hands for ya to gis another beer


[Chorus]
       G        D             G       D
Me old ball and chain is in a shallow grave
           G           D
So hit me, ONE, TWO, - ONE TWO THREE FOUR!
G               A         D       A  D
I don't have to suffer anymore


[Verse 3]
                                               A
‘Til I've kicked shit out yer jukebox and I've broken all yer darts
         D                                 A
And I've talked the friggin' ears off my reflection in the glass
     D                                   A
I've spewed all down the front o' me and pissed all down my leg
        D                               A             D
And I'm propped up in the corner like a fuckin' rusty keg


[Chorus]
       G        D             G       D
Me old ball and chain is in a shallow grave
           G           D
So hit me, ONE, TWO, - ONE TWO THREE FOUR!
G               A         D       A  D
I don't have to suffer anymore

[Verse 4]
                                         A
‘Til I'm snorin' like a chainsaw and I'm layin' there catchin' flies
    D                               A
And you, ye cheeky bugger, pops two pennies in me eyes
    D                               A
God love ye and protect ye, get yer knees up Missus Brown
      D                                  A                D
She's topped her flamin' hubby and she's torn up half the town


[Chorus]
       G        D             G       D
Me old ball and chain is in a shallow grave
           G           D
So hit me, ONE, TWO, - ONE TWO THREE FOUR!
