Drinking Song

E  A   E    A

[Verse]
E
To the old chrome cassette,
A                       D
Of my mother's voice,
E                               A
I still cry when I hear her sing.
A
The clock struck twelve,
                D
The voice I love so well,
E                       A
Was eaten up by the machine,
E                       A
It was eaten up by the machine!

[Chorus]
A               E
When the glass is full,
A               D
Drink up! Drink up!
A
This maybe the last time
E               A
We see this cup.
A
If God wanted us sober,
        D
He'd knock the glass over,
E                               A
So while it is full we drink up!

E
A toast to Mary,
A                D
A girl I once loved,
E                               A
Oh Lord, why do things have to die?
A
If drinking beer,
                       D
Could bring her back here,
E                       A
I'd drink the damn place dry,
E                        A
Yes, I'd drink the damn place dry!

[Chorus]
A               E
When the glass is full,
A               D
Drink up! Drink up!
A
This maybe the last time
E               A
We see this cup.
A
If God wanted us sober,
        D
He'd knock the glass over,
E                               A
So while it is full we drink up!

[Verse]
E
Here's to the old house,
A                D
On Lily Pond Lane,
E                                 
And the room where my boots used to 
A
rest.
A
One day I gave
                  D
The foundation a shake,
E                         A
But my home did not pass the test,
E                          A
No my home did not pass the test.

[Chorus]
A               E
When the glass is full,
A               D
Drink up! Drink up!
A
This maybe the last time
E               A
We see this cup.
A
If God wanted us sober,
        D
He'd knock the glass over,
E                               A
So while it is full we drink up!
