Streams of whiskey

	  		 D G D  
Last  night as I slept I  dreamed I met with  Behan   
 G A  
I shook him by the hand and we  passed the time of  day   
 D G D  
When  questioned on his views on the  crux of life's  philosophies   
 D G A D  
He  had but these few  clear and  simple words to  say   
 
  
I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing   
  
I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing   
 
 
  
I have cursed, bled and sworn, Jumped bail and landed up in jail   
  
Life has often tried to stretch me, but the rope always was slack   
  
And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea   
  
I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back

Oh the words that he spoke, seemed the wisest of philosophies   
  
There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear   
  
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me   
  
I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer
