[C][G][F][C]

[Chorus 1]
You'll [Am]have to ex[G]cuse me, I'm [C]not at my [F]best
I've been [C]gone for a [G]month,
I've been [F]drunk since I [C]left
These [Am]so called vaca[G]tions
will [C]soon be my [F]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [G]drink,
I need [F]home for a [C]rest

[Verse 1]
We ar[Am]rived in De[G]cember
and [C]London was [F]cold
We [C]stayed in the [G]bars along
[F]Charing Cross Road
We [Am]never saw [G]nothin'
but [C]brass taps and [F]oak
Kept a [C]shine on the [G]bar
with the [F]sleeves of our [G]coats

[Chorus 2]
You'll [G]have to excuse me,
I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]week,
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And these [G]so called vacations
will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink,
I need [G]home for a [F]rest

[Verse 2]
[Am]Euston Stati[G]on, the trai[C]n journey nort[F]h
[C]In the buffet [G]car we [F]lurched back and forth
Past [Am]old crooked d[G]ikes,
through [C]Yorkshire's green [F]fields
We were [C]flung into [G]dance
as the [F]train jigged and [G]reeled

[Chorus 3]
You'll [G]have to excuse me,
I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]week,
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And these [G]so called vacations
will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink,
I need [G]home for a [F]rest

[Verse 3]
By the [Am]light of the [G]moon
she'd [C]drift through the [F]streets
A [C]rare old per[G]fume so se[F]ductive and sweet
She'd [Am]tease us and [G]flirt
as the [C]pubs all closed [F]down
Then [C]walk us on [G]home and de[F]ny us a [G]round

[Chorus 4]
You'll [G]have to excuse me,
I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]month,
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And these [G]so called vacations
will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink,
I need [G]home for a [F]rest

[Interlude 3]
Take me [Am]home
[Dm][G][Em][Am]
[Am][Dm][G][Em][Am]

[Verse 4]
The [Am]gas heater's e[G]mpty,
it's [C]damp as a [F]tomb
The [C]spirits we [G]drank
are now [F]ghosts in the room
I'm [Am]knackered a[G]gain,
come on [C]sleep take me [F]soon
And don't [C]lift up my [G]head
'til the [F]twelve bells of [G]noon

[Chorus 5]
You'll [G]have to excuse me,
I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]month,
I've been [G]drunk since I left
And these [G]so called vacations
will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink,
I need [G]home for a [F]rest
