LKG 11 For the Road

 

Intro    |E         |E  G    | repeating

 

|A   Ab |G  E7  |A A+5/4|A  A7  |

|F#m   | G       |D        |D        |

|EmBm| Em  D|C        |E         |E  G    |

 

I got that blue sentimental melancholia on my mind

It’s a true incidental that it’s far from the everyday kind, in fact

I got a feeling that it’s just about the worst you could find

 

I got a jackhammer headache beating through my eyes

Don’t slam me that I’m just fake I need someone to sympathise

There’s not concealing that I’m reaping the reward for my lies

 

|D        |D  Bm |F#m   |A         |

|B   Bb|A    C   |G        |E         |

 

There’ a tombstone certainty squatting like a toad

She a cruel one ain’t she, you should see her explode

So please bartender,  give me one for the road

 

I’ll take the liquid solution, just like so many before

In your fine institution, please don’t show me to the door

There’s no return to sender, just leave me till I pass out on your floor

 

|E         |E  G    | repeating to end

One more for the road now

Just give me one more for the road
