[Chorus]

Show me the way to go home, I’m

Had a little drink about an hour ago, and it’s
B E
Gone right to my head
A
Wherever I may roam, o’er
D A
Land or sea or foam, you can
A
Always hear me singin’ this song
B A
Show me the way to go home.
[Verse]

When I'm happy, when I'm happy
A E
singing all the while

I don't need nobody there to
A E A

E
When I've been out on a spree
A B E
Toddling down the street
E
With this little melody
A B E
Everyone I greet
[Chorus: slurred, drunken]
A
Show me the way to go home, I’m
D A
Tired and I wanna go to bed; I
A
Had a little drink about an hour ago, and it’s

Gone right to my head
A
Wherever I may roam, o’er
D A
Land or sea or foam, you can
A
Alwaysh hear me shingin’ ‘nis shong

A D
Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, and a
A E
Merry old soul was he; he
A D
Called for his wine, and he called for his pipe, and he
A E A
Called for his fiddlers three.
E
When they’d had a high old time
A B E
All the whole night through
E
What was it that King Cole said
A B E
And his fidders, too?
[Chorus]
A
Show me the way to go home, I’m
D A
Tired and I wanna go to bed; I

Had a little drink about an hour ago, and it’s

Gone right to my head
A
Wherever I may roam, o’er
D A
Land or sea or foam, you can
A
Always hear me singin’ this song
B A
Show me the way to go home.
[Verse]
A D
Buying drinks, a lot of ginks
A E
Gathered in a swell cafe; A

Scotchman who had quite a few was
A E A
Feeling rather gay
E
He kept drinking with each guy
A B E
As the hours fled

When it came his time to buy
A B E
He rose up and said
[Chorus: scottish accent; exaggeratedly roll the Rs; be funny]
A
Show me the way to go home, I’m
D A
Tired and I wanna go to bed, I
A
Had a wee drappie about an hour ago, and it’s
B E
Gone right to my head
A
Wherever I may roam, o’er
D A
Land or sea or foam, you can
A
Always hear me singin’ this song
B A
Show me the way to go home.
[Chorus: back to normal]

Show me the way to go home, I’m
