The Drinking Song

The Drinking Song – Rod Stewart

From the album “Another Country”

Tabbed by Roj Vincent

Intro:


Like everybody else, I like a night on the town.

I love a bella vino when the sun goes down.

But unfortunately, one thing has led to another (yes it has).

I ve struggled more than once to put the key in the door,

Fallen flat on my face on the disco floor,

But if I die, I m gonna die laughing. (Now listen)

I ve sung and I ve danced in the streets of Paree,

Discovered my trousers up an old oak tree,

I ve walked half naked through the hotel continental. (But you know what)

I m glad I did what I did when I did it,

Make no mistake about that.

And i m glad I said what I said when I said it, Oh yeah.

It was the drink that made me do it.

I know sometimes I blew it.

It was the drink that made me do it.

Every time, Every time.

Instrumental break:


I ve skipped a light fandango, and I ve lost my socks.

Even spent the night in a telephone box.

I m a sucker when I hear "one more for the road."

I ve woken up with women that I hardly knew,

Wine is the cause of silly tattoos.

I ve raised hell, where hell didn t need no raising.

But I m glad I did what I did when I did it,

Make no mistake about that.

And I m glad I said what I said, Oh yeah.

It was the drink that made me do it.

Sometimes I guess I blew it.

It was the drink that made me do it.

Every time.

Oh yeah

Break:

Ahh yeah


So, the moral of the story. Stick to tea and cakes.

If ya take to the drinking you re gonna make mistakes

I wouldn t change a thing, if I could do it again. (No I wouldn t)

It was the drink that make me do it.

Sometimes I knew I blew it.

It was the drink that made me do it.

Every time. Every time.

Oh yeah

Blame the drink



A great little song........... enjoy... :-)
