Great Big Sea - The Old Black Rum (good) guitar chord
The old black rum
Great Big Sea (Capo 3, 6/8 time)
I drank (D)16 doubles for the (A)price of (D)one
(G)Trying to find the (D)courage to (Em)talk to (A)one
I asked her (G)for (A)a (D)dance, not a (G)se(A)cond (D)glance
My night had (G)just be(A)gun
Well I (D)drink to the father and the (A)holy (D)ghost
I'm (G)kneeling at the (D)alter of my (Em)nightly (A)post
So I'll (G)raise (A)a (D)glass, not the (G)first (A)nor (D)last
Come join me (A7)in this (D)toast
(Chorus)
Because the (A)old black rum's got a (D)hold on me
Like a dog wrapped (G)round my (A)leg
And the (A)old black rum's got a (D)hold on me
Will I live for a(A7)nother (D)day? (G)Hey
Will I (D)live for a(A7)nother (D)day?
Well the (D)Queen of George Street is just (A)walking (D)by
(G)Walking on (D)by with some (Em)guy who don't (A)care
That she (G)stood (A)in (D)line, since (G)half (A)past (D)nine
And spent three (G)hours on her (A)hair
Well her (D)friend is looking at me with an (A)evil (D)grin
I (G)think the bloody (D)racket might (Em)soon (A)begin
I must have (G)said (A)some(D)thing, to the (G)George (A)Street (D)Queen
The boys are (A7)joining (D)in!
(Chorus)
So I (D)drank all of my money, and I (A)slept out in the (D)rain
(G)Everyday is (D)different but the (Em)nights, they're all the (A)same
You never (G)see (A)the (D)sun, of the (G)old (A)black (D)rum
But I know I'm gonna (A7)do it a(D)gain!
(Chorus) 2x
(G)Hey, Will I (D)live for a(A7)nother (D)day?
