I play this in D standard tuning, so 2 steps down. Since it's all based around Em, it's
really easy to play a
basic melody between strums since those top 3 strings will be open anyways.

Em A5 Em A5 D Em
Em Kick a hole in the hallway A5 While singing like a painted lady Em Use your skull like a cannonball Em A5 D Em But it better not wake the baby
Chorus
D Em How long will this go on? D Em A5 How long, indeed? Em You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone Em A5 D Em But it better not wake the baby Em Make your moan of your lot in life A5 Split your mind half crazy Em Gouge your eyes with a butter knife Em A5 D Em But it better not wake the baby
Chorus
Em Drown yourself in crocodile tears A5 Curse the gods what made 'ye Em Pine away for your better years Em A5 D Em But it better not wake the baby
