Great Big Sea

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?
