Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

There are other guitar parts and a mandolin part going on, but I didn't tab

them. This works well for one guitar.

Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o

As I lay him down to sleep

It's been so long since I lost my daddy-o

Hope he's watching over me

2, 3, 4...

Verse 1

Wednesday night is mornin' now as I'm walking in the rain

Birds are screaming in my ear, they're driving me insane

Half the clouds are empty so the sun bursts through the sky

The puddles show reflections of a face about to die

Just around the corner I was going round the bend

I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name

He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow

Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone

Pre-chorus 1

Bringin in the new year as the bells began to ring

Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing

Time to get another before the final shout

You should have heard him roarin when they dragged the bugger out

Chorus

And we'll never see the likes of you again

Verse 2

Jimbo came from slummin' town, a cold and dreary place

To summerland he found himself, the sun shone on his face

Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl

Happily ever after till the tide ran out again

Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry

I'll love you in the mornin, Christ I'll love ya till you die

I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before you know

But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home

Pre-chorus 2

Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin bag

Back and forth through painted brick the colours all seemed bland

I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far

So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar

Chorus

And we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again

Bridge

no chords, drums, fiddle, mandolin, at first)

There must be more to life than this poxie life

All the agro, all the pain

So he disappeared into his final beer

But the glass was empty once again, again, again...

Break

guitar and fiddle)

Verse 3

Woke up in an awful state, dreamt I was at Peter's gate

Beggin for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand

Told me he was much amused to see the life I had abused

Best be on the way, but have a swig before you go

Pre-chorus 1

Final chorus:

And we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again!

End on D

There it is. Enjoy!
