Intro: E 


Verse: 

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




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


Verse: 

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



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


Verse: 
             E                              A 
Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes 
             E                        B 
The right is heavy and the left it is light 
             E                     A 
And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do 
E                     B        A 
Honey take me out drinking tonight 
E           A        E 
Honey take me out drinking tonight
