Honesty Is No Excuse Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Up [F#]till [G]now I used to
pass my time
Drinking beer so [C]slowly, [F]sometimes wine
No [Am]God, air, water or [D]sunshine
And hon[Bm]esty was my only [E]excuse
I [Am]took [G]your love and I [D]used it

[Verse 2]
[G]Up till now my youthful stage
A useless rage, a [C]torn out page,
[F]a worn out gauge
A [Am]dirty shade, a [G]big charade,
[D]a has been made
And [Bm]honesty was my only excuse
[Eb]I took[Am] your love[G] and I used [D]it[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]never, I never, [Am]I never
[D][G][Am][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Up till now my love life
Few sweet kisses, a [C]little missus,
[F]a fork and knife
A [Am]happy home, a hand [G]to hold,
[D]a land t[C]o roam
And [Bm]honesty was my only excuse
[E]I u[Bm]sed t[Am]o take life in my own hands
and I [D]ab used it

[Interlude 2]
[G][Bm][F][Am][D][G]

[Verse 5]
Up till now I [G]used to tap dance
Take a girl by the [C]hand saying
[F]"I need your, I need your romance"
[Am]Oh I[G] had m[D]e many chances
And [Bm]honesty was my only excuse
[E]I use[Am]d to take you[G]r love and I'd
[D]abused it

[Interlude 3]
[G][Bm][G][F][Am][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Up till now the path of life
was fair [C]enough
Enough was [F]fair, all was [Am]right
And now I [G]know, I [D]see the light
And [Bm]honesty was my only excuse
