C9 F9
When the hangover strikes and I open my post
C9 F9
And the coffee is on and I'm burning my toast
F Bb7
I let the battle commence
Cmaj7 Dm
I see a sun in the trees and a draught at the door
Em Bb7 [Fill1]
With my head in my lap there's a day to explore
Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2]
But I'm left without sense

F 133211 Dm x57765 G7 3234xx
C9 F9
As the hangover strikes and I turn on the tap
C9 F9
But the water's too loud and I'm caged by the fact
F Bb7
That the battle's not lost
Cmaj7 Dm
Is it the hair of the dog or the baa of the lamb
Em Bb7 [Fill1]
In a sheepish attempt to be half of the man that I might be
Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2]
Or was

C9 F9
When the hangover strikes and the mirror reveals
C9 F
That it's midnight or bust and a drink does appeal
F Bb7
Now the battle is won
Cmaj7 Dm
So the cure of the can pours its heart out to me
Em Bb7 [Fill1]
Though I'm feeling locked up and I can't find the key
Ab7 G7 C9 F9 C9 [Fill2]
Well, no damage was done
[repeat REFRAIN]

Notes:
I've tried to show how you might play this lovely part but you should feel
your way with this, yourself. Play slowly and gently.
