CHORUS #1:
You'll [Am]have to ex[G]cuse me, I'm [C]not at my [F]best
I've been [C]gone for a [G]month, I've been drunk since I [C]left
These [Am]so called va[G]cations will [C]soon be my [F]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [G]drink, I need home for a [C]rest
We [Am]arrived in De[G]cember and [C]London was [F]cold
So we [C]stayed in the [G]bars along [C]Charing Cross [G]Road
We [Am]never saw [G]nothin' but [C]brass taps and [F]oak
Kept the [C]shine on the [G]bar with the [C]sleeves of our [G]coats
CHORUS #2:
You'll [G]have to excuse me, I'm [C]not at my [G]best
I've been [C]gone for a [F]week, I've been [C]drunk since I [G]left
These [G]so-called vacations will [C]soon be my [G]death
I'm so [C]sick from the [F]drink, I need [C]home for a [G]rest
[Am]Euston [G]Station the [C]train journey [F]north
In the [C]buffet [G]car we [C]lurched back and [G]forth
Past [Am]odd crooked [G]dykes through [C]Yorkshire's green [F]fields
We were [C]flung into [G]dance as the [C]train jigged and [G]reeled
CHORUS #2
By the [Am]light of the [G]moon she'd [C]drift through the [F]streets
A [C]rare old per[G]fume so [C]seductive and [G]sweet
She'd [Am]tease us and [G]flirt as the [C]pubs all closed [F]down
Then [C]walk us on [G]home and de[C]ny us a [G]round
CHORUS #2
The [Am]gas heater's [G]empty, it's [C]damp as a [F]tomb
And the [C]spirits we [G]drank like a [C]ghost in the [G]room
I'm [Am]knackered a[G]gain, come on [C]please take me [F]soon
And don't [C]lift up my [G]head 'til the [C]twelve bells at [G]noon
