[Verse 1]
C                                F        C
Well the life goes in circles as everyone know
        Am            C      F
and the mirth and the misery comes as it goes
        C                     Em              F
and the drunkard's philosophy starts where it ends
       C           F             G      C
have a drink to me boys and then hit me again

[Chorus]
C                         F          C
Names will be shouted and glasses be filled
        Am             C          F
and the girls will get frisky and say what they will
        C                  Em            F
but the moment of finest reflection must be
            C            F          G           C
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea

[Bridge]
        Am                      C
there's buggers and beggars and liars by trade
    F                         C          G
and white blessed angels that visit your bed
    C                        Em      F
but enlightenment waits serendipitously
            C            F          G           Am
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea

[Verse 2]
C                             F             C
now god is quite homeless and scattered and blind
       Am          C                F
and he keeps a few things round the back of my mind
        C                           Em         F
and the times he retrieves them are errant and few
      C            F               G          C
and i field most requests from him best i can do

[Bridge]
     Am                     C
he's harboring spirits, the neighbors complain
     F                       C           G
it's gone to his liver, it's gone to his brain
    C                        Em          F
but it's bollocks i say, i recall pleasantly
       C             F          G           Am
having sent all that whiskey on back to the sea

[Chorus]
C                         F          C
Names will be shouted and glasses be filled
        Am             C          F
and the girls will get frisky and say what they will
        C                  Em            F
but the moment of finest reflection must be
            C            F          G           C
when you're sending your whiskey on back to the sea

[Chorus]
C                         F          C
Names will be shouted and glasses be spilled
        Am             C          F
and the girls will get risky and say what they will
        C                  Em            F
but i'm known to break out in such grand melody
         C            F          G           C
when i'm sending your whiskey on back to the sea
