Great Big Sea - The Ol' Black Rum guitar chord

VERSE 1-

G D G

I drank 16 doubles for the price of one

C D

Tryin to find the courage to talk to one

C G C G

I asked her for a dance, not a second glance

D

My night had just begun

VERSE 2-

G D G

Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost

C D

Kneeling at the alter of my nightly post

C G C G

And I'll raise a glass, not the first or last

D

come join me in this toast

CHORUS -

D G

'Cause the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me

C D

Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg

D G

And the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me

C D Em C

Will I live for another day..hey?

C D G

Will I live for another day?

VERSE 3-

G D G

The queen of George Street just went walkin' on by

C D

Walkin' on by with some guy who don't care

C G C G

That she stood in line since half past nine

D

And spent three hours on her hair

G D G

Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin

C D

I think a bloody racket might soon begin

C G C G

I must have said something to the George Street queen

D

Now the boys are joining in.

CHORUS-

VERSE 4 -

G D G

So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain

C D

Every day is different, but the nights are all the same

C G C G

You never see the sun on the old black rum

D

And I know I'm gonna do it again.

CHORUS X 2 -
