Intro: G5 (Hammer the root note in all instances of this chord)
Verse 1:
G5
It's boxing night,
B5
(And) I'll celebrate in style
G5
In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered
A5
With ghosts of bottles past
G5
There's a naked hush
B5
Clawed only in breath and of pulse
G5
Of our heart that is kicking
A5 G5
As though it is desperate to be born
Interlude: G5
Verse 2:
G5
And I'm in hostage blind
B5
Deaf to the dim outside
G5
Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight
A5
And I'd barely blink and I...
G5
Well the clock just stopped
B5
You can cut that on my fucking headstone*
G5
Won't something move so I stop
A5
Staring a hole into the phone
Chorus:
C5
You can get me at home
D5
With a drink to ill health
C5
Just me and these walls
D5
And a beaten up chair
G5
On boxing day
Interlude: G5, B5, G5, A5
Verse 3:
G5
This is boxing night
B5
And someone lost an eye
G5
Well I swear I've lost the last drop
A5
Of whatever kept me awake alive
G5
And I fell in the forth
From a heavy right hook
B5
To our blushed and swollen face
G5
And in a single blow it's murdered
A5
And then it takes years to waste away
G5
And I can't call you all mine anymore
B5
And I can't call you full stop
G5
But you know you can call me up anytime
A5
Call me whatever the fuck you want
Chorus:
C5
You can get me at home
D5
With a drink to ill health
C5
Just me and these walls
D5
And a beaten up chair
C5
You can get me at home
D5
With a drink to ill health
C5
Just me and these walls
D5
And my beaten up chair
G5
On boxing day
