intro: Gm.



Gm

Where they sit around

                C            F

And get a round in while the getting's good

Gm                    B         F        Gm

They'll make the most until the money's gone

                                    C                     F

They're coming out to celebrate, to sing and dance and to escape

Gm                   B         F     Gm

A crazy world where everything seems wrong

C                         B                      F

Drinking to forget and to remember all the glory days

C                                    F

The days we stood apart and we stood strong

Gm

Though the beer befuddles sense

C                     F

It can't provide them recompense

Gm              B      F       Gm    

They settle for anotherdrinkingsong

Where the 'busy man finds recreation'

the 'idle man finds business'

The 'melancholy man finds sanctuary'

The 'stranger may have welcome'

and still within these self-same walls

The 'citizen may find some courtesy'

From 'rose and crown' to 'cock and bull'

all history is written there

To folklore, myth and legend we belong

Come Masons, Plumbers Carpenters,

Come Cricketers and huntsmen

All join in anotherdrinkingsong

Well you can keep your 'long-hours culture'

your lusting for adventure

There's life aplenty down 'The tap 'n' Spile'

Forget youroccupation down 'The Salutation'

This tragi-comedy will make you smile

From quaint barstoll philosophy to subtle innuendo

It's funny how the tribes all get along

Curse abstinence and temperance, come celebrate insouciance

And join us in anotherdrinkingsong
