Old Black Rum

        G                      
I drank sixteen doubles for the 
 D        G
price of one
C                             D
Trying to find the courage to talk 
to one
            C     G          
I asked her for a dance, not a 
  C      G
second glance
                  D
My night had just begun
Well I drink to the Father or the 
Holy Ghost
I'm kneeling at the altar of my 
nightly post
So I'll raise the glass, not the 
first or last
Come join me in this toast

[Chorus]
            D                     
Because the old black rum's got a 
G
hold of me
       C                    D
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
        D                     G
And the old black rum's got a hold 
of me
       C           D    Em   C
Well I'm here for another day, Hey

          C          D     G
Well I'm here for another day

[Verse]
Well the queen of George Street just
 a walking on by.
Walking on by with some guy who 
don't care
That she stood in line since half 
past nine.
And spent three hours on her 
hair....on her hair
Well her friend is looking at me 
with an evil grin
I think the bloody racket might soon
 begin
I must have said something to the 
George Street queen
and boys I'm joining in

[Chorus]
            D                     
Because the old black rum's got a 
G
hold of me
       C                    D
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
        D                     G
And the old black rum's got a hold 
of me
       C           D    Em   C
Well I'm here for another day, Hey
          C          D     G
Well I'm here for another day

[Verse]
So I drank all of my money and I 
slept out in the rain
Every day is different but the night
 are all the same
You never see the sun on the old 
black rum
But you know I'm gonna do it again

[Chorus]
            D                     
Because the old black rum's got a 
G
hold of me
       C                    D
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
        D                     G
And the old black rum's got a hold 
of me
       C           D    Em   C
Well I'm here for another day, Hey
          C          D     G
Well I'm here for another day
