Song: Whiskey & Water
Intro: Em - D - C (x3) - G
G D C
Please send me a sign
G B
And set me up against the rain
Em D C
And give me something I can trust
D
In all the drama of change
G D C
I followed a dream
G B
And if a man is born to fall
Em D C
Then let me live against my creed
D
In all the filth of it all
C G
And I can drink my whiskey and water
B Em
And fix folly in peace
C
Cos there's a price you pay
G D
To live this way, its called a release
G D C
Please drop me a line
G B
And send me love and sun to boot
Em D C
Cos I am idle drunk and well
D
Busy with nothing to do
G D C
This body is cold
G B
I have to make the grade alone
Em D C
Cos I have traveled far to find
D
I need a room of my own
C
Where I can
G
Break kindly with Fortune
B Em
Cos she's something to be
C G
She's spending Saturdays in the Baltic
D
With the SSP
C G
And I am charged guilty as sin
B Em
Because it hurts me to know
C
That she is working so hard
G D
But for the joy of stock control

Instrumental verse:
G - D - C - G - B
Em - D - C - D - C - G
G D C
But let me sing out to myself
G B
And polish off these bottled cries
Em D C
And send them down to Saville Row
D
Cos I'm not ready to die
G D C
But I, I'm ready to live
G B
Can I make it out with pride
Em D C
Play the left wing let down king
D
Put out there something to hide
C G
And I can run to you for cover and
B Em
We'll bury the dread
C G
And when the time has come for leaving
D
I will love you instead
C G
Oh won't you sing something in minor key
B Em
This stillness is bleak
C G
Oh could we dream away the guilt
D
We have for the working week
C G
oh and in the warm arms of a stranger I'm
B Em
Too happy to lie
C G
I know we've both been here before
D
Just please don't ask me why
C
And I have
G
Walked here with you close to me
B Em
But never alone
C G
But won't you cling to me in the major key
D
All the joy I've known
C
All the joy I've known
G C
Oh the joy I've known (x4)
G C
Lalalala-lalala (x3)
G
Lalala la
