[Verse 1]

C                          F
When these shoes were new it was "how do you do"
       C           Am         D7     G
It was whiskey and telling our tales
         C                        F
And when my shirt was clean I was there to be seen
      C         Am           D7          G
I had clean eyes and my smile never failed


[Chrous]

Am       Em             F          C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am                   Em
They were drinking by night
F                     G
They were drinking by day
   F             C
Ah restore to my eyes
          F            C
What was clear and was bright
C                     G        F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
      C           G       C
Honey take me out drinking tonight


[Verse 2]

C                          F
Bluebells and matches and stains on the table
  C                 Am          D7        G
The sweet smell of the luscious Woodbine.
  C                    F
"Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin"
C              Am          D7     G
I say, but I don't really mind


[Chorus]

Am       Em             F          C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am                   Em
They were drinking by night
F                     G
They were drinking by day
   F             C
Ah restore to my eyes
          F            C
What was clear and was bright
C                     G         Am    F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
      C           G       C
Honey take me out drinking tonight


[Verse 3]
             C                              F
Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes
             C               Am       D7     G
The right is heavy and the left it is light
             C                     F
And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do
C                     G        F
Honey take me out drinking tonight
C           F        C
Honey take me out drinking tonight

[Chorus]

Am       Em             F          C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am                   Em
They were drinking by night
F                     G
They were drinking by day
   F             C
Ah restore to my eyes
          F            C
What was clear and was bright
C                     G         Am    F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
      C           G       C
Honey take me out drinking tonight
