They try in vain our minds to chain

They try in vain our minds to chain

I'm up in the stars

I'm looking down at the gutter

When I'm good, I'm very good

But when I'm bad, I'm better

Oh barman fill this glass again

And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when'

Oh barman, fill it to the top

And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop

They try in vain our minds to chain

They try in vain our minds to chain

A B C D E F G

The only notes that matter

When I'm good, I'm very good

But when I'm bad, I'm better

Oh barman, fill this glass again

And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when'

Oh barman fill it to the top

And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop

They try in vain our minds to chain

(Repeats)

Me and all my friends are coming 'round to your house

And we're not going to go until we get thrown out

(Repeats)

Oh barman, fill this glass again

(Repeats)

They try in vain our minds to chain

(Repeats)

To chain (Repeats)
