[Intro]
A E A
There’s this old bar down on the sea shore where the red light pours through the door
A E A
The bar man stinks, he’s got the shakes and he pours the whisky on the floor
D E A
But me and my friends we like to go down there and drink into the night
D A E A
We drink together, laugh forever, until the world seems right
[Interlude]
A E A
‘Cause this old world don’t relate to me; it’s all your job and your salary,
A E A
‘Cause this old world don’t talk to me; I’m not my car or my flat TV.
[Chorus]
D A E
So we’re gonna drink this bar dry tonight, we’re gonna drink this bar dry
D A E
We’re gonna hold our heads high tonight, we’re gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
A E A
So I got a call from my old friend, he says, “How you fancy a beer?”
A E A
So we go down to the old sea shore and knock right on the door
A E A
A suit appears, says there ain’t no bar, they going to turn it into apartments
A E A
He says people like to see the sea whilst they’re dusting their ornaments
[Chorus]
D A E
So we’re gonna drink this bar dry tonight, we’re gonna drink this bar dry
D A E
We’re gonna hold our heads high tonight, we’re gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
A E A
So we look at each other, kind of clever, and burst right through the door
A E A
The suit he sees us, screams for Jesus, and drops his whisky on the floor
[Chorus]
D A E
We’re gonna burn this bar down tonight, we’re gonna burn this bar down
D A E
And if we get a taste for smoke, we might just burn this town
[Verse]
A E A
So the suit starts screaming, goes right up the stairs, I say you getting no help up there
A E A
He says he’s calling the police, we going down, but we’re pouring whisky on the floor
[Chorus]
D A E
So we’re gonna drink this bar dry tonight, we’re gonna drink this bar dry
D A E
We’re gonna hold our heads high tonight, we’re gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
A E A
But me and my friend we look at each other and decide it just ain’t right
A E A
We love this bar, we love this town, and plus we ain’t got a light!
[Outro]
D A E
So we’re gonna drink this bar dry tonight, we’re gonna drink this bar dry
D A E
We’re gonna hold our heads high tonight, we’re gonna hold our heads high.
