[A] How's it dad, can you hear me?
Very well, how are things Davey?
Yeah, no [D] dad,
[Bm] [A] this lockdown's actually really starting to take a bit of a toll on me, [A] like I really
I know times are [E] pretty strange, [D] just relax, take [Bm] it easy, we're [A] stuck at home, through no [F#m] one's fault, there's [Bm] no place we [E] have to go.
Love [A] your girl, settle [E] down, if [D] you want, [Bm] watch some TV, look [A] at me, my [F#m] beer is cold [Bm] and I'm happy.
[E] I [A] was once like [E] you are now, [D] and I know that it's [Bm] not easy [A] to be calm when [F#m] the world is [Bm] going wrong.
No, [E] it's not.
Take [A] your time, drink [E] a lot, eat your [D] bananas before [Bm] they're frot, for [A] you will still be here [F#m] tomorrow if you do not lose [D] the plot.
[A]
[D] How [A] can I try to [C#m] explain?
[D] Another day in lockdown, [Bm] I'll go insane.
[A] I've spent [F#m] one whole month in the same territory, [E] and [A] from the moment [C#m] Cyril talked, [D] I was ordered to [Bm] listen.
Now [A] there's a way, [F#m] and I know that [E] I have [A] to go away.
[E] I know [D] I have [A] to go.
[D] I have to go dad.
[A] [D]
Relax my son, you're being [E] strange, just [D] sit down, take [Bm] it slowly, you're [A] highly strung, that's [F#m] your fault, there's [Bm] not much you have to [E] go through.
Allow [A] your girl to calm [E] you down, just [D] relax, watch [Bm] some TV, look [A] at me, my [F#m] beer is cold [Bm] and I'm happy.
I know you've [E] said that all [A] the times [C#m] that I've tried [D] to obey the law and [Bm] stay inside.
[A] It's hard, but [F#m] it's harder to [Bm] be for it.
[E] I know [A] you're right, and [C#m] I'd agree if my beers weren't [Bm] all empty, but [A] there's a way, [F#m] and I know that [E] I'm making [A] beer today.
[E] I know [D] I'm [A] making beer.

Lots of love.
Cheers.
