The Drinking Song by Moxy Früvous
The Drinking Song
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Chorus]
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D7 G
My senses finally blurred
[Verse 1]
D7 G C G
He was a rock, to the end a solid reminder
Am D7
Couldn't deny a friend
D7 G C G
We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison
Bm Am
Peekin' up the skirt of the end
[Verse 2]
D7 G C G
And we'd drink, two gnarly dudes and some records
Am D7
Much like plates of black food
D7 G C G
We filled up our faces, saw some far places
Bm Am Am Am
Stood on the roof in the nude
[Chorus]
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D7 G
My senses finally blurred
[Verse 3]
G C G
Between pulls, he said "we're like cows in the grass"
Am D7
Brushing off flies
D7 G C G
Chaise lounging around standing up, falling down
Bm Am D7
Till we no longer opened our eyes
[Verse 4]
D7 G C G
And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war
Am D7
Cuppa troops o'er the gums
D7 G C G
To the end of our health a campaign 'gainst myself
Bm Am
Armed with bourons and scotches and rums
[Chorus]
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D7 G
My senses finally blurred
[Verse 5]
G C G
Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster
C D
Whether it's right or it's wrong
D G C G
We opened the window, played some Nintendo
Bm Am
Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:
[Interlude]
Am7 D7 G D7sus4 D6 G
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
G G7 C
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
G D7 G D7
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 6]
G C G
Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction
C D
Flying graceful and free
G C G
None but the best cause the man cannot rest
Bm Am D7
Till he's finally beaten his me
[Chorus]
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D7 G
My senses finally blurred
[Verse 7]
G C G
Till the end, he passed out on the sun deck that morning
C D
Quietly saying goodbye
D7 G C G
But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered
Bm Am
Told him he couldn't just die
[Verse 8]
G C G
He was a rock, went straight for his own armageddon
C D
Face froze in a grin
D7 G C G
Ambulance flyin' in, I never drank again
Bm C9 D7
Can't really call that a loss or a win
[Chorus]
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D7 G
My senses finally blurred
