We [B] [Gm]

[C] [G]
[C]
[A] You'll have to [G] excuse me, [C] I'm not at my best
I've [C] been gone for a [G] month, I've been [F] drunk [G] since I [C] left
[A] These so [G]-called vacations [C] will soon be [F] my death
I'm [C] so sick from [G] the drink, I [F] need home for a rest
And I [D] want to thank [A] you, I've been [G] December [C] and Labdoo [F] is cold
[C] We stayed in [G] five-down [F] Charing Cross [Am] Road
We never [G] saw nothing [C] but grass, [F] taps and oak
Kept [C] the shine on [G] fire with the sleeves of our coats
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've [C] been gone for [F] a month, I've [G] been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations [C] will [G] soon be my death
I'm [C] so sick from [F] the drink, I [G] need home for a [Am] rest

[G] Houston Station, [Em] the train's running north
[C] In the [G] buffet car, [F] we lurch back and forth
[Am] Pass our [G] crooked tights, [C] New York's your [F] screen fields
[C] We're flung [G] into dance [F] as the train takes [G] in real
You'll have to excuse [C] me, I'm not at [G] my best
[C] I've been gone [F] for a month, I've [G] been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations [C] will soon be [G] my death

[A] the light [G] of the moon, [Em] she tripped [F] through the streets
[C] A rare [G] old perfume, so [C]
seductive and sweet
She teases [G] and glitters, the pump [F]-drop goes down
[C] Then walk [G] us on home [F] and deny [G] us around
You'll have to excuse [C] me, I'm not [G] at my best
[C] I've been gone [F] for a month, [G] I've been drunk since I left
These so-called [C] vacations will soon [G] be my death
I'm so sick [F] from the drink, [G] I need home [F] for a rest
[Am] Take me [D] home!
[G]
[Am] [A]
[Em] [Am] The gas [D] heater's [C] empty, it's damp as a tomb
The [G] spirits we drank [F] are now ghosting the [Am] room
I'm [G] knackered again, [C] come on sleep, take me soon
Don't lift [G] up my head, [F] to where [G] bells are loomed
You'll have to excuse [C] me, I'm not [G] at my best
[C] I've been gone for a month, [G] I've been drunk since I left
These so-called [C] vacations will soon be my death
