Whiskey Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Voxtrot

Intro: Am - C - F (x3) - C

 C         C         F   
   Please send me a sign
           C               E
And set me up against the rain
             Am       C      F
And give me something I can trust
            C
In all the drama of change

 C     C          F
    I followed a dream
          C              E
And if a man is born to fall
             Am     C        F
Then let me live against my creed
             C
In all the filth of it all


           F        C 
And I can drink my whiskey and water
         E        Am
And fix folly in peace
               F      
Cos there's a price you pay 
    C                           C
To live this way, its called a release



 C          C        F
   Please drop me a line
             C              E
And send me love and sun to boot
          Am   C        F
Cos I am idle drunk and well 
          C
Busy with nothing to do

 C       C       F 
   This body is cold
           C              E
I have to make the grade alone
            Am       C      F
Cos I have traveled far to find
          C
I need a room of my own



        F
Where I can 
        C
Break kindly with Fortune
     E                  Am
Cos she's something to be
               F               C   
She's spending Saturdays in the Baltic
         C
With the SSP

       F          C
And I am charged guilty as sin
         E              Am 
Because it hurts me to know
             F
That she is working so hard
    C                C
But for the joy of stock control



Instrumental verse:
C - C - F - C - E
Am - C - F - C - F - C



         C      C        F
But let me sing out to myself
            C                 E
And polish off these bottled cries
              Am       C       F
And send them down to Saville Row
             C
Cos I'm not ready to die

  C         C        F
But I, I'm ready to live
       C                E       
Can I make it out with pride
          Am       C         F     
Play the left wing let down king
               C
Put out there something to hide



     F         C          
And I can run to you for cover and 
  E             Am
We'll bury the dread
              F                 C
And when the time has come for leaving
        C
I will love you instead

         F          C
Oh won't you sing something in minor key
 E                 Am
This stillness is bleak
             F              C  
Oh could we dream away the guilt 
                 C
We have for the working week

              F               C
oh and in the warm arms of a stranger I'm
 E           Am 
Too happy to lie
              F              C
I know we've both been here before
                 C 
Just please don't ask me why

      F
And I have
        C
Walked here with you close to me
 E         Am
But never alone
                F                 C
But won't you cling to me in the major key
            C
All the joy I've known 
            F
All the joy I've known 
         C        F
Oh  the joy I've known (x4)
   C       F  
Lalalala-lalala (x3)
       C
Lalala la
