[Verse 1]
C F
When these shoes were new it was "how do you do"
C Am D7 G
It was whiskey and telling our tales
C F
And when my shirt was clean I was there to be seen
C Am D7 G
I had clean eyes and my smile never failed
[Chrous]
Am Em F C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am Em
They were drinking by night
F G
They were drinking by day
F C
Ah restore to my eyes
F C
What was clear and was bright
C G F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
C G C
Honey take me out drinking tonight
[Verse 2]
C F
Bluebells and matches and stains on the table
C Am D7 G
The sweet smell of the luscious Woodbine.
C F
"Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin"
C Am D7 G
I say, but I don't really mind
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am Em
They were drinking by night

They were drinking by day

Ah restore to my eyes

What was clear and was bright
C G Am F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
C G C
Honey take me out drinking tonight
[Verse 3]
C F
Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes
C Am D7 G
The right is heavy and the left it is light
C F
And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do
C G F
Honey take me out drinking tonight
C F C
Honey take me out drinking tonight
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
All of my brothers that I met on the way
Am Em
They were drinking by night
F G
They were drinking by day

Ah restore to my eyes

What was clear and was bright
C G Am F
And honey take me out drinking tonight
C G C
Honey take me out drinking tonight
