Once, I loved a girl from Newcastle,
E A E
But she really left me sore
E A E C#m
Yeah, she broke my heart and bruised my soul
E B E
But I don’t care anymore
E A D E
So, don’t wave your flags, just wave your beer
A E
As we slowly turn to clay
A E C#m
And we’ll all get drunk and sing this song
E B E
’till there’s nothing more to say
Alright, Pops, you cantankerous ol’ fool,
Step on up and give us a toast!
Well, the Lord giveth and taketh away,
And if that ain’t a sweet deal, I’ll kiss your ass!
Yee-hee-hee-hah!
If I had it all to do again,
I’d be swingin’ from the mast.
‘Cause I wouldn’t trade a million bucks
For one second of me past.
So, don’t wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we’ll all get drunk and sing this song
’till there’s nothing more to say
Mysterious John, I think it’s your turn,
Step up and give us a toast
Here’s to the women of the world
It would be a sad place without them, God bless them.
Yee-hee-hee-hah, buddy!
(Bet your ass)
When we die and hit the afterlife
You’ll be seein’ me, my dear
I’ll be riding a barrel of whiskey on
A tidal wave of beer
So, don’t wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we’ll all get drunk and sing this song
’till there’s nothing more to say
One more time!
So, don’t wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we’ll all get drunk and sing this song
’till there’s nothing more to say
(And we’ll drink one for Tom Waits)
’till there’s nothing more to say *3
