Rod Stewart – The Drinking Song (Guitar)

      Em
Like everybody else, I like a night on the town.

   C           Em
I love a bella vino when the sun goes down.

      D     A                             Em             Bm
But unfortunately, one thing has led to another (yes it has).

Em
I've struggled more than once to put the key in the door,

G       C          Em          C      A
Fallen flat on my face on the disco floor,

       D       A             D                 Em
But if I die, I'm gonna die laughing. (Now listen)

Em
I've sung and I've danced in the streets of Paree,

G   C
Discovered my trousers up an old oak tree,

      D           A
I've walked half naked through the hotel continental. (But you know what)

Em         A          Em
I'm glad I did what I did when I did it,

A                       Em
Make no mistake about that.

         A                                          Bm
And i'm glad I said what I said when I said it, Oh yeah.

            C                 G
It was the drink that made me do it.

   D                Em
I know sometimes I blew it.

            C                 G
It was the drink that made me do it.

       Bm
Every time, Every time.

                      Em
I've skipped a light fandango, and I've lost my socks.

C
Even spent the night in a telephone box.

      D                                     Em
I'm a sucker when I hear "one more for the road."

G    Em                                 D
I've woken up with women that I hardly knew,

C                     Em
Wine is the cause of silly tattoos.

D                                             Em
I've raised hell, where hell didn't need no raising.

         A                 Em
But I'm glad I did what I did when I did it,

A                      Em
Make no mistake about that.

         A                           Bm
And I'm glad I said what I said, Oh yeah.

            C                  G
It was the drink that made me do it.

     D               Em
Sometimes I guess I blew it.

            C                 G
It was the drink that made me do it.

       Bm
Every time.

G       Em
So, the moral of the story. Stick to tea and cakes.

       C                                                  A
If ya take to the drinking you're gonna make mistakes

D                             A                                Em
I wouldn't change a thing, if I could do it again. (No I wouldn't)

            C                  G
It was the drink that make me do it.

     D              Em
Sometimes I knew I blew it.

            C
It was the drink that made me do it.

        Bm         D      Em
Every time. Every time.

    D
Oh yeah

          Em
Blame the drink
