I met her [Em] up on Leeson Street of a [C] Tuesday [G] afternoon
In summer's fall and colors, sulking back to school
I asked her would she linger, I asked her would she stay
Would she keep her man in company, drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking, drinking, not thinking
Drinking, drinking, we'll go drinking in the [C] day
[G] She was almost a woman, she was going on sixteen
She asked me to go walking in St.
Stephen's Green
She said I love the sunshine and to hear the children [C] play
[G] But I won't be distracted when I'm drinking in the day
Without flashing eyes [C] and milk white lies, [G] she looked just like [C] a song
[G] Like the ghost of [C] a woman that [G] first made me [C] go wrong
She [G] said I'll have [C] a drink with you, [G] I said you'll have [C] to pay
For [G] the comprehensive [C] [G] education, drinking in [C] the day
[G] Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] drinking, not thinking
Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] we'll go drinking in [C] the [G] day
If our mother could [C] have seen us [G] on that bright September [C] day
[G] But did Shelley and [C] his angel, her [G] ambulating [C] almond [G] cake
A drunken [C] blessed virgin, [G] me rhetorious [C] and gay
[G] Bestowing [C] ancient wisdom [G] as to what made me [C] this way
[G] Deny your [C] friends and family, [G] to serve you must [C] betray
[G] Break and [C] enter heaven, [G] steal but [C] never save
[G] Squander every penny, empty [C] every [G] heart
Travel [C] every darkened road, [G] never finish what you start
Always talk to strangers, make love with [C] whom you may
[G] For God will find [C] good company [G] for your drinking in the day
Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] drinking, [C] not thinking
[G] Drinking, drinking, [C] drinking, [G] we'll go drinking in the [C] day
[G] So spend your [C] youth on poetry, [G] spend your [C] cash at play
[G] Each line upon [C] my face [G] is for a girl who [C] went away
[G] A kiss, a [C] song, a fleeting thing, [G] and fame will [C] always stray
[G] So until the [C] truth, the best man for you [G] is the one you [C] give away
[G] Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] drinking, [C] not thinking
[G] Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] we'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking, drinking, [C] not thinking
[G] [C] Drinking, drinking, [G] drinking, we'll go drinking [C] in the day
[G] Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] drinking, [C] not thinking
[G] Drinking, [C] drinking, [G] drinking, we'll go drinking in the day
[C] [G]
[C] Drinking, [G] drinking, [C] drinking, [G] we'll go drinking [C] in the day
[G] [C] Thank [G]
[C] [G] you!
