[Verse 1]
[A]Back at the [Em]house a [D]bottle is [F]found
And [D]opene[F#m] d in honor[A]
Of [D]those who have [E]drowned
While [Bm]we who have no[Em]t are
[D]stricken with [Gm]guilt
And du[F]tifully [Eb]see
That not [E]one drop is spilled
We're [A]drinking to [Em]life
we're [D]drinking to [F]death
We're [D]drink[F#m]ing 'til none of ou[E]r
[D]Livers are [E]left
We're [Bm]wending our [Em]way
down to the [D]spirit store
[Gm]We'll drin[F]k till we just[Eb]
Can't [E]drink [A]anymore

[Verse 3]
Well, [A]bloody my [Em]nose
And [D]blacken my [F]eye
If it [F#m]ain't some young [A]Turk[D]
In search of a [E]fight
And [Bm]chanticleer's [Em]chest
Is sag[D]ging with [Gm]pride
For [F]honor has yet
[Eb]To be sati[E]sfied
Well, [A]heaven be [Em]thanked
We [D]live in an [F]age
When [F#m]no man need bot[E]her
Ex[D]cept on [E]the stage
With [Bm]Dulce [E]et de[Bm]cor [Em]um
est pro [D]patria [Gm]mori
And [F]definitely [Eb]not tonight
[Ab]

[Verse 4]
I can still [Fm]remember
When I was just a [Db]kid
I was free to do what I [Bbm]wanted to
But [Eb]I never, ever did
[Cm]So now with years
of discre[Ab]tion [Db]reached
May we not [Bbm]forget[Db][Bb]
[Bb]
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité
For there's [Eb]life in the old world yet!

[Verse 5]
[Eb]There'll [Ab]always be an [Fm]England
[Eb]An I[Db]reland and a[Ab] Fran[Db]ce[Eb]
A [Cm]Liechtenstein and [Db]Finland
And [Bb]we have on[Fm]ly
[E]one chance
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
[Ab]Earnest young man with an unhealthy tan
[Fm]Puts a drink in my hand
and says I understand
You're in [Db]search of the place
To continue the chase of
the [Eb]heavenly taste
I suggest in that case you all [Cm]come with me
To my place by the sea where
the [Db]glasses shall be
Overflowing with free alco
holic delights
And free love [Bb]if you like
for what [E]point has this life
If you can't realize [A]your [Em]drea[D]ms?

[Verse 7]
[F]Oh, [F#m]raise [D]your [Bm]glasses[E]
[A]high[Em][A][Em][D][F]
And [F#m]drink [D]the [Bm]town [E]dry[D]
[E]We'll

[Verse 8]
[A]drink beyond
[Em]The bound[D] aries of[F] sense
We'll [F#m]drink 'til we [A]start [D]to see
Lovely pink [E]elephants
Inside [Bm]our h[Em]eads, ins[D]ide our beds[Gm]
In[F]side the [Eb]threads of our pa[E]jama legs
So don't [A]shoot til you [Em]see
The [D]reds of our eye[F]s
And [F#m]an army of elephants
[D]Marching behind
[E]From the [Bm]day I was b[Em]orn
Till the [D]night I will die
[Gm]All my lovers [F]will be [Eb]pink

[Outro 1]
And elephantine
