[N] Hello, [Eb]
[E] [B]
[Gb] [B]
[Ab] what?
[Em]
Mission.
[B] [Gb]
[Bbm] [C]
[D]
[Eb] Should old [Bm] acquaintance, may it [G] be
[A] forgotten, and [D] never brought [G] to mind.
[D] Should old [Bm] acquaintance, may it be [E]
forgotten, [Gb] and never [Bm] brought [Em] to mind.
[A] [D] Hi.
[Em] [G]
[D]
[Em]
[D] Here's to all your lucky dogs [Em] and tits.
[D] Here's to all the pimps and rich [Em] and I wish you well.
[D] Here's to all the [G] canoeing and dead for cash.
Here's to Dashing Patty's son and such a flash.
Hey, I'm still looking [Em] out walking round the [G] sunset square.
[Em] Singing and talking with my friend [G] Pat.
Sitting and listening with a young man.
[Em] All the rain and [G] the folks are all gone.
Here's to all the shitty jobs that I despise.
Here's to two big guarantees [Em] and all the lies.
[D] Here's to Rosa Barney's heart and [Em] hot soup.
[D] Here's to money in my hand [Em] and where it went.
[G] I heard the fingers [Em] tapping on the [G] hard stone steps.
[Em] Where's the lightning and the rain to [G] fall?
Young lovers alone with their sad, wild smiles.
[Em] All the [G] rain and the folks.
In the end, in the summer, with a side lunch and a punch card.
See my sister, with a drag job and she feels funny.
She's a hundred years [D] of God.
[Em]
[D] Oh, shit.
[Em]
[D]
[Em] [D]
[Em] [A]
[D] Here's to living your life [Em] with no regret.
[D] Work your [A] fingers to the bone and [Em] sink in bed.
[G] Here's to all the shaky tricks and hustlers.
Patty's in for his offer.
Hard [Em] to flash a grin and get.
[G]
I'm still living and breathing in a rat trap.
Trying [Em] to get over where the wall breaks [G] down.
All of my hair off my skin.
I ain't [Em] fine.
All my [G] rain and the folks.
[D] Treating you funny.
[Em] [D]
Oh, shit.
[Em]
Oh, [D] shit.
[Em]
[D] Oh, shit.
